There is little question the New Orleans Saints entered this offseason targeting wide receiver as one of the main positions that needed an upgrade. (Maybe even overhaul.)

What did they do after working on running back ( Travis Etienne ) and guard ( David Edwards ) in free agency? They went and drafted a wide receiver in Jordyn Tyson many think was the best wideout available, and then they added big-time speed an athleticism in Bryce Lance in the fourth round.

But they weren’t done. By drafting LSU’s Barion Brown in the sixth round, despite the fact he likely will begin almost solely as a return man, there are quite a few receivers on the roster from last year who are going to be in a battle to make the team this coming August and September.

Chris Olave when Tyler Shough was the starter:

9.1 TAR/Game

6.0 REC/Game

82.5 Yards/Game

6 TDs

Over a full season - Olave would have finished as the WR3 😱 pic.twitter.com/cFYv9mvLU5
