A notable NFL Draft expert believes the New York Giants could make a very questionable decision with their first pick in tonightâs event.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding the first draft of the John Harbaugh era for the Giants. With the No. 5 pick in this weekâs event, the team has many directions it could go. In various mock drafts since the season ended, Big Blue has been linked to a boatload of players at five, including Ohio Stateâs Caleb Downs and Notre Dameâs Jeremiyah Love.
However, Thursday night got even more exciting for Giants fans last week when the team was somehow able to get the 10th overall pick from the Cincinnati Bengals for disgruntled three-time Pro Bowler Dexter Lawrence. Now the G-Men have two picks in the top 10, and there has been new speculation on who they could take with that second selection.
One name that has often emerged in the recent chatter is Arizona State wide receiver, Jordyn Tyson. A player who impressed at his open workout last week. Yet, while some believe he may be the best receiver in this yearâs class, he was projected to go well outside the top 15 for weeks because of injury concerns and issues with drops last season.
But taking him at 10th overall still might be a smart risk because of his high upside. However, during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show this week, ESPN draft expert Matt Miller suggested the Giants could use their pick at five on Tyson when asked about possible surprises in Round 1.
âI think that will be the surprise. Where the Giants come on the clock, and whether itâs you guys, or you know, Mel Kiper and those guys talking about it, and youâre running through all the options of these defensive players, and they call in Jordyn Tyson.â
Tyson is a very talented player, but there are good reasons to be a bit concerned about his durability at the next level. It might be a reach to select him at 10, but it might be worth it. Taking a player originally expected to go after 15 in the top five doesnât make much sense when Harbaugh and the front office have the luxury of picking again at 10.
The Giants are considering several players, including Caleb Downs and Jordyn Tyson, for their No. 5 pick.
