Insiders say the Giants’ plan centers on pairing Dart with a speed weapon who can stretch the field opposite Malik Nabers. The idea is reinforced by The Ringer’s Todd McShay, who noted the trade gives New York flexibility in the top portion of the draft and suggested Jordyn Tyson as the likely target at No. 10, should the Giants stick to their stated aim of adding a long-range divider for defenses.
New York GM Joe Schoen has signaled serious interest in Tyson, flying to Arizona to attend Tyson’s workout and dining with him the night before. Analysts involved in the discussions say Tyson’s stock has risen as a top-10 option for the Giants, given the need for a high-upside receiver who can make explosive plays for Dart.
Tyson’s fit hinges on more than athletic potential. Nabers is still working his way back from ACL surgery, so Tyson could serve as the long-term complement and an immediate counter to top cornerback coverage. Tyson’s raw upside and ability to beat man coverage give him the profile the Giants are seeking, even as his injury history remains a significant consideration.
Metrics and scouting chatter underscore Tyson’s allure. He’s praised for his ability to stretch the field and beat man coverage, with notable numbers in route efficiency against man coverage and a high share of targets on his routes. Still, prospects of using a top-10 pick on Tyson carry notable risk given the recent injury questions and the Giants’ need to replace Lawrence’s interior pressure.
Dexter Lawrence’s departure leaves the Giants’ defense more vulnerable to interior disruption as Dennard Wilson reshapes the unit. While edge players like Brian Burns and Abdul Carter can pressure the quarterback, the team will rely on a collective effort from Roy Robertson-Harris, Darius Alexander, and others to compensate for the lost production inside. The balance between risk and long-term upside will define how aggressively New York pursues Tyson and other draft targets.
