Mock Draft Projects Giants Trading No. 1 Pick to Jets for Picks No. 7, No. 18 and a Day 2 Choice

ESPN's Field Yates models the move as New York leans into Jaxson Dart at quarterback, with the Jets pursuing Indiana's Fernando Mendoza.

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.
