Tyson's WR31 ranking reflects 120+ target upside if Saints offense hits top-10 passing volume.

The source ranks Jordan Tyson at WR31 (consensus WR38, overall 87th) and believes he should be viewed as a strong WR3 with upside. Tyson is ranked above consensus and the source plans to keep drafting him. While not the most emphatic pre-draft advocate, the source sees parallels to Stevie Johnson and Brandon Iyuk—unpolished route runners who hit the ground running. Tyson's college production over final two seasons: 60th and 11th in yards per route run, 12th and 15th in receiving grade. The source emphasizes the volume upside as the number two option in the Saints passing attack. In weeks 12-18 last season, when Tyler Shuck broke out, the Saints offense ranked 5th in neutral passing rate and 11th in pass rate over expectation. If the Saints run that back with more weapons, the source projects the offense could be top-10 in passing volume, making Tyson a candidate for 120+ targets in his rookie season. Tyson is practicing in full at camp. The source expects Tyler Shuck to take a step in year two, which should benefit Tyson.
