Giants’ Day 2 blueprint: Best available NFL draft prospects to fill biggest needs

Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books.

The Giants picked inside linebacker Arvell Reese at No. 5 and offensive guard Francis Mauigoa at No. 10.

They passed once on cornerback Mansoor Delane (who went sixth to the Chiefs) and twice on safety Caleb Downs (who went 11th to the Cowboys). How will all that turn out for the Giants?

As you ponder that question, let’s examine the best remaining prospects who can fill their positional needs.

On Day 2 of this draft, Friday, Rounds 2 and 3 will be selected. Because of last year’s trade-up move for Jaxson Dart, the Giants currently don’t have a third-round pick. Their only Day 2 pick right now is No. 37 — the fifth spot in Round 2. (They would’ve picked 69th in Round 3.)

Here’s where things stand for the Giants, in terms of their primary remaining areas of need:

Denzel Boston, Washington

Zachariah Branch, Georgia

Chris Brazzell, Tennessee

Germie Bernard, Alabama
