Giants Draft Reese, No Thibodeaux Trade

0:00It's April 24th. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real-time. Giants fans can breathe easy on those K-von Tividot trade rumors. The team just grabbed Ohio State edge rusher Arvel Reese with the fifth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and they're not. Shipping out their defensive in anytime soon. Word from ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Giants have no plans to deal Tividot, putting those whispers to rest right after the draft move. Here this year, back on March 8th, the athletics in O'Connor called it a 50-50 shot, noting the team still sees him as a top talent even, with his stats dipping lately. That production slide had folks wondering if New York might refresh the edge rush, but drafting Reese looks like the answer instead of a trade. Bottom line, Tividot stays put, bolstering that defensive line as the Giants build for the long haul.
