We could have a New York vs. New York battle on our hands between the Giants and Jets for the same prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft.

According to SNY's Connor Hughes, if Jordyn Tyson is sitting on the board at No. 10 overall, the Giants are going to take him.

Hughes believes the Jets are at least interested in Tyson, also, and if that's the case, they'll have to jump ahead of the Giants to the No. 9 pick to grab the Arizona State wide receiver.

"If Tyson's sitting there at 10, the Giants are going to draft him. If the Jets want him, they've got to jump in front of them," Hughes said.

Sitting in the No. 9 spot of the draft is the Kansas City Chiefs. Knowing that, here's what a Jets-Chiefs trade would look like.

According to the Jimmy Johnson NFL Draft Trade Value Chart, there's a 350-point difference between the Chiefs' and Jets' picks.

In order to close that gap, the Jets could swap their second-round pick for Kansas City's third-rounder, a difference of 360 points.

That would be a pretty expensive price to pay, but we could see the Jets paying it given their need at wide receiver.

The Jets have a need at wide receiver because they are currently set to rely on Adonai Mitchell, who is unproven, as their No. 2 across from Garrett Wilson.

Not only is that an issue for this season, it's a problem for the future.

The Jets are going to draft a quarterback at some point and need to surround said player with more weapons to put him in a better position to succeed.

Big Blue already has its young franchise quarterback, but the team is lacking a No. 2 target across from Malik Nabers, who is also a question mark coming off a torn ACL from last season.

Knowing all that, there could be a battle in the Big Apple on Thursday night.
