Jordyn Tyson headlines the New Orleans Saints’ can’t-miss prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft, with Arizona State’s physical wide receiver an option to elevate New Orleans’ offense alongside Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele. The Saints hold the No. 3 pick, opening the door to foundational talent.

On defense, Tennessee’s pass-rushing standout Joshua Josephs and Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman offer intrigue, with Thieneman praised for his ball-hawking skills and Caleb Downs-style versatility. Running back Kaytron Allen and Texas guard DJ Campbell emerge as mid-round value picks for a rejuvenated run game and offensive line depth. Alternatives like Ohio State’s Arvell Reese and Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr. remain in play, while recent roster moves—including the addition of Beanie Bishop—raise new questions about the Saints’ plans in the slot and backfield.
