Chiefs' Draft Contingency Plan: Downs or Tyson If Delane Falls Short

Giants' Final Mock Drafts Spotlight Edge, RB, and Safety for 2026

Brooks slots Jeremiyah Love at No. 5 and Tyson at No. 10, prioritizing offense around Jaxson Dart. Zierlein sticks with Caleb Downs at No. 5 and Francis Mauigoa at No. 10, highlighting safety value and versatile OL potential.

Chiefs Eye OT at No. 9: Kadyn Proctor Emerges in Bold 2026 Mock

This diverges from mocks that favor Francis Mauigoa and notes other Chiefs considerations (WR and edge needs) as well as potential trades, with Jordyn Tyson among the receiver options.

Jordyn Tyson's upside looms larger than his injury history

Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson is seen as a top 2026 NFL Draft target thanks to elite route feel, hands and yards-after-catch potential, with teams like the Giants and Jets viewed as likely fits. His red flags are durability—missed games from ACL, a broken collarbone and a hamstring injury—but evaluators say those issues aren’t fatal and his ceiling could justify a high pick for a receiver-needy team.
