Overview
- The Bengals acquired defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from New York for the No. 10 pick, giving the Giants two top-10 selections alongside No. 5.
- Multiple outlets continue to project Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders with the first overall pick.
- The No. 2 slot is still in play, with reporting indicating the Jets are weighing edge rushers Arvell Reese and David Bailey as their top options.
- Evaluators describe this draft as top-heavy and especially light at defensive tackle, with some insiders saying few if any DTs carry clear first-round grades.
- Following the Lawrence trade, NFL Network reports the Giants are now less likely to trade pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, who is slated to play on his fifth-year option.
