Even as the New York Giants eye high-end cornerstones with the No. 5 pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, using the recently acquired No. 10 pick to add a wide receiver like USC's Makai Lemon or Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson could be what gives this offense the breath of life it needs.
While there are some conflicting reports about where Tyson is going to land due to his fragile nature, one Giants insider declared that the Sun Devils star is not leaving the Top 10 due to Big Blue's affinity for the dynamic pass-catcher.
According to Connor Hughes of SNY, if Tyson ends up making it to No. 10 overall, the Giants are going to take him. Pairing Tyson and a now-healthy Malik Nabers could turn the Giants' receiver room from lackluster to one of the best in the NFC.
Connor Hughes says Giants will take Jordyn Tyson at No. 10 in NFL Draft if he is there
Tyson recorded 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in limited action for the Sun Devils last season, and he did that while opposing defenses constructed their entire game-plan around slowing him down. If he's healthy, Tyson may be the top receiver this class has to offer.
The problem is that he is very rarely healthy. With 34 percent of his games missed in the last four seasons, many of which were due to an ACL tear and a nagging hamstring problem, the data suggests that Tyson is going to miss games at some point at the professional level.
However, Tyson's electric route-running, ball skills, and ability to get open downfield despite lacking elite to-end speed all make him look like a future star wide receiver in the making. If the Giants want to add some heavy artillery around a young quarterback in Jaxson Dart, no player helps them further that end more than Tyson.
The Dexter Lawrence trade netting the Giants a premium pick may enable them to land both an imapctful defensive player and a high-end developing WR2 like Tyson in the same six-pick span. That's not a bad haul for the first year of a transformative John Harbaugh-led regime.
