Overview
- The Giants are currently projected by Tankathon to hold the top pick after Week 14, though late-season results could still change the order.
- In Yates’ mock, the Jets move up to No. 1 to select Heisman finalist Fernando Mendoza, addressing their unsettled quarterback situation.
- The projection has the Giants receiving the Jets’ first-rounders at Nos. 7 and 18 plus a Day 2 selection rather than drafting first overall.
- With the acquired picks, the Giants are forecast to target Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson at No. 7 and Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell at No. 18.
- Reports note the Jets accumulated premium draft capital after trading stars such as Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner, making an aggressive move plausible.
