I’m still;
Tate
Cooper
Lemon
One of those 3 at 13 sounds good to me.

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.
Agree, Gotta be one of Lemon, Tyson, Cooper here, barring the 2 wild-cards of course......
Could not run at the combine or at his pro day. The medicals are not okay!

Keep saying Tyson is the best. Surprised he ranked Concepcion over Tate and Lemon, but Concepcion does look crazy explosive on his tape.
Yeah, but nobody on the planet is arguing with you that Tyson is the most talented WR in this draft,,,
We’re arguing that he’s constantly hurt. At this point we will see world peace before we see Jordyn Tyson without an injury. How long does a hamstring take to heal? Is he trying to purposely drop to a better team than the top 10 teams? Because he IS a top 10 talent…
I would rather have someone slightly less talented but is available than to be counting on this man to survive to and through the playoffs
The juice is worth the squeeze with Tyson IMO. He's the only real WR that projects as a #1. He may in fact being trying to dodge the albatross that is the NY Jets. Guess we will see on 4/17
He is not trying to dodge anyone. He is what he is, injury plagued.
And he was never ever ever going number 2 to the Jets. He might get nabbed by the Jets at 16 Maybe, LOL.
There's a lot of people in the draftnik community singing Concepcion's praises right now the more tape gets watched. Does that momentum carry into the actual NFL draft? Who knows.
Another 2nd rounder who would fit right in. Robert Woods type

I like what Ozzie Newsome used to say to his personnel department in regards to 1st rounders. He was risk-averse and told them to swing for doubles instead of trying to hit home runs.
I think it's something to think about for a team (and fanbase) not used to having 1st round picks and may have forgotten the feelings and/or effects of a 1st round bust.
