GIANTS NFL DRAFT: Everything GM Joe Schoen said about New York's No. 5 pick

Giants NFL draft grades

This section will be updated after the Giants make their first selection.

Giants 2026 NFL Draft needs

Defensive line

The Giants traded away Dexter Lawrence less than a week before the 2026 NFL Draft, snagging a second top-10 pick in return. Head coach John Harbaugh had seemed optimistic an extension deal would get done, but Lawrence – one of New York's best players throughout his seven-year tenure with Big Blue – will instead start his Bengals career in 2026.

Defensive line would have been a priority even if the Giants had retained Lawrence. New York still needed another down lineman to play alongside their Pro Bowler on the interior. New York has all of the edge rushing prowess it needs with Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and last year's first-rounder, Abdul Carter. With Lawrence moving on to Cincinnati, the position is one with an even more dire need of reinforcement for the Giants.

Interior offensive line

Andrew Thomas is a lock at left tackle. Jermaine Eluemunor should be a lock at right tackle after his strong season in pass protection. Outside of those spots are three big question marks. The Giants could use some more help on the interior to block in front of Dart in 2026.

New York did add Daniel Faalele and re-signed Josh Ezeudu and Evan Neal to compete for the right guard spot, but none inspire much confidence in 2026. Given the lack of quality moves at the position in free agency, the Giants should be in strong consideration to add to their offensive interior on Days 2 and/or 3.

Wide receiver

Top Giants wideout Malik Nabers will be back after tearing his ACL four games into the 2025 season, but who else does New York have in its receiving corps? Wan'Dale Robinson, Big Blue's top receiver last year, followed Brian Daboll to Tennessee. Free agent signees Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin and Isaiah Hodgins are better suited as tertiary and depth options.

It's not hard to envision the Giants using their top pick to select one of the best wide receivers in this draft class. They could even wait until Day 2 or 3 to add some young talent to the position.

Giants 2026 NFL mock draft

Here's what the Giants could do come draft night, per Ayrton Ostly's seven-round mock draft, which pre-dated the Giants' trade for the No. 10 pick:

• Round 1, Pick 5: WR Carnell Tate, Ohio State
• Round 1, Pick 10: S Caleb Downs, Ohio State
• Round 2, Pick 37: IOL Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon
• Round 4, Pick 105: LB Harold Perkins Jr., LSU
• Round 5, Pick 145: OT Kegan Trost, Missouri
• Round 6, Pick 186: RB J’Mari Taylor, Virginia
• Round 6, Pick 192: WR Eric Rivers, Georgia Tech
• Round 6, Pick 193: LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr, TCU
