Overview
- The Giants explored receiver help before the Nov. 4 trade deadline but made no moves, opting to keep premium draft capital.
- A new CBS Sports mock projects Ohio State’s Carnell Tate to New York at No. 5 overall, citing a 711-yard, 7‑TD season with an 84.8% catch rate on 46 targets and no drops.
- Pro Football Focus previously mocked Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson to the Giants at No. 5, noting an 83.0 receiving grade and 57 catches for 628 yards and eight touchdowns through seven games.
- The plan centers on giving rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart a premier target as Malik Nabers rehabs a torn ACL that thinned the receiving corps.
- Team reporting frames the approach as a long‑term, cost‑controlled build rather than a short‑term splash, with Tyson and Tate viewed as primary fits for the 2026 draft.
