Overview
- The Giants passed on a receiver at the 2025 trade deadline after asking prices rose toward first-round compensation, according to multiple reports.
- General manager Joe Schoen made inquiries on top wideouts but opted to preserve premium draft capital rather than pay near-first-round prices.
- Tankathon currently projects New York picking No. 5 in 2026, and PFF’s latest mock has Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson slotted to the Giants at that spot.
- Tyson’s season — 57 receptions for 628 yards and eight touchdowns in seven games — is cited in those projections as evidence of WR1 potential.
- Ohio State’s Carnell Tate is also being linked as a boundary alternative, with an 84.8% catch rate for 711 yards and seven touchdowns, viewed as a fit to support Jaxson Dart while Nabers rehabs.
