Shough Emerges as Saints’ QB1 on Open OTA Day

On the Saints’ first open OTA day, Tyler Shough locked in as QB1 by going 10-of-12 in 7-on-7 and distributing passes to seven different receivers, while rookie Jordyn Tyson was limited to individual drills. Spencer Rattler also worked, and Jonas Sanker led the early slot rotation. A Rath-led lineman reaction drill added a competitive element, and Mason Shipley competed at kicker as kicking battles begin. Several veterans were absent or limited, contract talks with Chris Olave continued toward training camp, and New Orleans plans joint practices with three preseason opponents while focusing on early-down installs and center depth behind Erik McCoy with rookies Simpkins III and Sherman in the mix.

Chiefs' Draft Contingency Plan: Downs or Tyson If Delane Falls Short

The Chiefs’ draft strategy included a back-up plan to trade up for Mansoor Delane, but if that didn’t happen they would have chosen between Caleb Downs and Jordyn Tyson and possibly moved up for San Diego State CB Chris Johnson, trading a third- or fourth-round pick. Jermod McCoy’s knee concerns affected the board, but KC still landed four defensive picks (Delane, Woods, Thomas, Canady) with Delane expected to start, signaling a stronger 2026 defense.

Giants' Final Mock Drafts Spotlight Edge, RB, and Safety for 2026

Brooks slots Jeremiyah Love at No. 5 and Tyson at No. 10, prioritizing offense around Jaxson Dart. Zierlein sticks with Caleb Downs at No. 5 and Francis Mauigoa at No. 10, highlighting safety value and versatile OL potential.

Chiefs Eye OT at No. 9: Kadyn Proctor Emerges in Bold 2026 Mock

This diverges from mocks that favor Francis Mauigoa and notes other Chiefs considerations (WR and edge needs) as well as potential trades, with Jordyn Tyson among the receiver options.

His red flags are durability—missed games from ACL, a broken collarbone and a hamstring injury—but evaluators say those issues aren’t fatal and his ceiling could justify a high pick for a receiver-needy team.
