After seeing how both Yates & Kiper, Jr. described Jordyn Tyson, I came away comparing him to Cooper Kupp, except with more height and athleticism but less football IQ, given that both testified to his ultra-competitive mindset and team-first attitude. The reason I'm making such a comparison is because Kupp's approach to the game--especially during his time with the Rams and performance in our Super Bowl win--seemed to have shortened his career, which I guess could apply to Tyson given his sacrificial conduct.
As far as I can tell, Kupp only had to deal with an ankle injury during his sophomore season, which he played through, according to his NFL draft profile:
2017 NFL Draft Profile: Cooper Kupp
2026 NFL Draft Profile: Jordyn Tyson
While weighing the pros and cons of investing premium draft capital into a prospect who could be quite productive immediately but fade away for an early and short-term peak, I can't help but be won over by the idea of "rolling the dice" on Jordyn Tyson, especially with an optimistic vision of another Kupp-like run with our current window to compete for a championship.
Obviously, it's beyond reasonable to expect Tyson to be the next Kupp, but I do like the aforementioned similarities and a lot of the differences actually favor Tyson.
What can I say? I'm on the Jordyn Tyson hype train. All aboard!

When you narrow that list down to the top half of the first round, the success rate is shockingly good with almost all of those picks becoming starting caliber WRs. Really the only busts that were picked in the last 5 years were towards the bottom of the first round. Recent history says a WR picked at 13 is going to be a good player.
