McShay, who had listed Styles as his No. 2 prospect, appeared surprised by the shift on The Rich Eisen Show, saying, “I thought it was Sonny Styles for the Giants at No. 5, but apparently it may not be.” He floated the possibility that the Giants could be using a smokescreen to protect Styles’ bid, while reaffirming strong interest in Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.
concord Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reinforced the idea that the Giants are weighing multiple targets, including Caleb Downs, Jordyn Tyson, and Jeremiyah Love, with the plan to land two of the three across their two top-10 picks. The report aligns with the sense that New York is prioritizing impact players over a single speculative target.
One potential No. 5 option McShay highlighted is Jordyn Tyson, a 6-2, 200-pound receive who has climbed into the conversation as a feasible pick for the top-5 slot. Tyson’s recent workout in Tempe changed some perceptions, and McShay indicated the Giants have been in on him from early in the process, arguing that waiting to No. 10 could be risky if Tyson is real at No. 5.
The ongoing dialogue also centers on Jeremiyah Love, with McShay suggesting that if Love isn’t selected by early in the evening, his path could push him toward the 4th or 5th slot. The Giants’ leverage comes from their two first-round selections, which could enable a reach for their preferred offensive or playmaking options.
Overall, the Giants’ draft strategy appears to be more fluid than some had believed. While Sonny Styles remains a consideration, the updated projections indicate New York could pivot to Love, Tyson, or Downs, depending on how the board shakes out and which players are available at No. 5 and No. 10.
