## Resource

In the 2026 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys secured Ohio State safety Caleb Downs at pick eleven, as the New York Giants surprisingly passed on him twice in the top ten. The Giants, who had already drafted defensive lineman Reese at pick five, opted for guard Mauigoa at pick ten, focusing on offense. The Cowboys attempted to trade up for Downs but failed, leading to criticism for prioritizing team needs over the best player available. New insights suggest the Giants had Downs in their sights at pick five, but stuck to their plan, potentially missing out on a game-changing defender.
