Chris Olave is headed to New Orleans to team up with former Buckeye Michael Thomas as the Saints traded up to get the star receiver on Thursday in Las Vegas.

Olave was taken minutes after Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson was selected by the New York Jets. A few minutes after that, Olave and Wilson's former teammate, Alabama receiver Jameson Williams who transferred out of Ohio State, was taken at No. 12.

It was a good night for Ohio State receivers and Olave was certainly the most decorated. The all-time leader in touchdown receptions at Ohio State, Olave was seen going more in the middle of the first round on several mock drafts, but the Saints didn't want to wait.

The Saints traded three picks (Nos. 16, 98 and 120) to the Washington Commanders to take Olave.

Here's how Twitter responded to the move.
