On Saturday night, just days before the 2026 NFL Draft, there was a shocking trade with major implications for several NFL teams. The New York Giants sent three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the No. 10 overall pick. Now, the Giants hold the No. 5 and No. 10 overall picks in the first round of the draft.
Nevermind that Cincinnati significantly overpaid for a very good player, but now the Giants have two top-10 picks, which could significantly impact what their NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders, do. Washington holds the No. 7 overall pick and has been linked to most of the same players as New York in various mock drafts.
Something else to note, another NFC East rival, the Dallas Cowboys, holds the No. 12 overall pick and has been rumored as a trade-up candidate.
Four players have mostly been linked to the Giants at No. 4 overall: Ohio State LB Sonny Styles, Ohio State S Caleb Downs, Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love and Miami OL Frances Mauigoa. The Commanders have been linked to Styles, Downs and Love. Washington has also been linked to Ohio State WR Carnell Tate, Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. and LSU CB Mansoor Delane.
Before Saturday's trade, the Giants were choosing one of these players. Now, by adding the 10th overall pick, New York can potentially add two of the aforementioned players. Additionally, a new name entered the top-10 talk over the past week: Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson. Tyson's talent was never in question; it's his health. On Friday, he received a clean bill of health ahead of this week's draft. The Giants reportedly love Tyson and the Commanders have met with him multiple times.
