Arizona Standout Jordyn Tyson Deemed a Solid Pick for Saints
The 2026 NFL draft has come and gone, and now, let’s start to examine each and every decision made by these 32 NFL teams.
On that topic, NFL draft analyst Chad Reuter has released his grades for each NFL roster heading out of the 2026 NFL draft.
“These 2026 NFL Draft snap grades reflect the value I think each pick (or set of picks) has, given the slot and the prospect’s college film/athleticism scores,” he states in the piece. “Trades, and the capital exchanged (both picks and players), are factored into these grades, too, as they also play a significant part in determining the future of a franchise.”
For the New Orleans Saints, he likes the addition of Arizona standout Jordyn Tyson. Who wouldn’t?

“New Orleans found a new receiving partner for Chris Olave,” he says of the add. “Tyson looked like a top-10 pick as a downfield playmaker at times in college, but he struggled to stay on the field because of injuries.”
Of the other picks, he says that the team “selected Christen Miller’s superior athleticism over Lee Hunter (who went No. 49 to Carolina) to bolster the defensive line, then picked Oscar Delp, another former Georgia player, who showed promise at times with the Bulldogs but stood out more for his excellent pro day than his college production.”
Grading the New Orleans Saints’ 2026 NFL Draft Class
The New Orleans Saints need a total rebuild, and that makes this draft class even more important. While the team made strong choices, they still have to flesh out their lineup post-draft, because to make a true comeback, change is needed.

But that being said, the Saints have made great strides by carefully selecting these rookies, especially Tyson, and it should go a long way. New Orleans Saints draft grade: B.
