Tyson caught 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and was one of the best receivers in this year's class.
With Tate off the board thanks to the Titans, the Saints got the other top WR option, taking Tyson at No. 8 overall right before the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, both teams with WR needs, made their picks at No. 9 and No. 10 overall, respectively.
Olave is a great number one wide receiver, but the Saints could use more help in the WR room, with their next best receiver being Devaughn Vele, a solid WR, but better as depth than as a team's number two option.
Tyson is a great receiver and has extremely high upside. Alongside Vele and Olave, Tyson will help the Saints offense make another leap by giving Tyler Shough as much help as possible to turn him into the franchise QB the Saints are hoping they get.
There are some injury concerns, but if he can be healthy and play alongside Olave in the Saints offense, this pick could be a fantastic one.
