Giants Trade Up to Draft Notre Dame WR Malachi Fields at No. 74

John Harbaugh points to in-game GPS speed to back the pick.

Overview

  • New York moved up Friday to No. 74 in a deal with the Browns that cost this year's fourth- and fifth-rounders plus a 2027 fourth.
  • The Giants targeted Fields before Miami's slot at No. 75, with reporting indicating the Dolphins planned to take him there.
  • Harbaugh said GPS tracking clocked Fields over 21 mph in games, suggesting mid‑4.4 speed despite a 4.61 combine 40.
  • Fields posted 630 yards and five touchdowns last season at Notre Dame with one drop on 62 targets, giving Jaxson Dart a big, reliable option.
  • The rookie said he wants to prove the trade-up was worth it and looks to earn snaps with Dart as offseason work and camp begin.
