New York Giants flip their fortunes in the secondary, give Jaxson Dart some new weapons in 7-round NFL mock draft

The New York Giants trade the No. 5 selection to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the No. 21, the No. 53, the No. 76, and the No. 85 sections

The New York Giants trade the No. 21 selection to the Cleveland Browns for the No. 24, the No. 107, and the No. 146 selections

**Round 1, Pick 24: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon**

Caleb Downs has been linked a lot to the Giants inside the top-10 selections. The Giants were still able to land Thieneman, who is a better coverage player but not quite as physical and consistent as the Ohio State star. At this point, however, Thieneman is a tremendous value.

Oregon S Dillon Thieneman (#31) was used a ton in single high at Purdue… but did a bit of everything this year with the Ducks.

At 6-0 and 207 pounds, he's a good blend of size, physicality, and underrated range. Does his best work as a mid hole/short zone robber. Instinctive. pic.twitter.com/ST3nhvMuCD

**Round 2, Pick 37: Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State**

There's a chance that Johnson could go a bit earlier, but the Giants aren't going to complain. He is a fleet cover corner with some incredible football IQ. Johnson would come in immediately and become the team's top cornerback.

Johnson is an off man/match coverage savant. Really intelligent with great instincts. Has had some experience in the slot in man coverage, as well. pic.twitter.com/vQbsUL21XC

**Round 2, Pick 53: Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State**

Blessed with length and long speed, there are some parallels to Darius Slayton. Hurst has more upside with a sturdier frame and even more athletic upside.

**Round 3, Pick 76: Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson**

Double-dipping at wide receiver feels like an intriguing proposition for a wide receiver room that desperately needs more difference makers outside of Malik Nabers. Williams does his best work playing from the slot. When healthy, he's a chain mover who can serve as the safety blanket for an offense.

Antonio Williams (Clemson) is going to be a rock solid WR3 on the next level for a long time

Nice grab against South Carolina DB Jalon Kilgore here. Super smooth player, efficient if he can stay healthy. pic.twitter.com/NOz2g96hoF

**Round 3, Pick 85: Kyle Louis, LB, Pitt**

Louis is an outstanding athlete who covers like a safety but is physical enough to play in the box. He would be an intriguing partner to work with Tremaine Edmunds.

Pittsburgh LB Kyle Louis (#9) is a smaller body type, but he plays with tremendous instincts and range from the second level. Kid just makes plays. pic.twitter.com/mXvYyfQzFL

**Round 4, Pick 105: Chandler Rivers, CB, Duke**

Rivers has played both on the outside and in the nickel while at Duke. The latter fits his game best, having the man coverage skills and physicality to play inside. He should be a tremendous value who could play early in his NFL career.

**Round 4, Pick 107: Tyler Onyedim, DT, Texas A&M**

There has been some hype around Onyedim, and it's very understandable. He's a talented mover with some interesting penetration upside. The former Iowa State transfer has been a big riser throughout the process.

**Round 5, Pick 145: Billy Schrauth, OG, Notre Dame**

When Schrauth was healthy, he was a good player for Notre Dame over the last couple of years. The problem is that the availability just isn't there right now.

**Round 5, Pick 146: Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington**

Blessed with a long frame and good movement skills, Prysock got better during each season of his college career. He needs to get better playing at the line of scrimmage but the athletic upside and ability to disrupt the catch point are very interesting.

I didn't care much for Ephesians Prysock's film in 2023 with Arizona or 2024, his first year with Washington… but 2025 showed a ton of improvements.

Rare length with + athletic tools. Located the football a ton better, and less grabby. Next step: be more consistent in press. pic.twitter.com/KejqgPhD07

**Round 6, Pick 186: Fa'alili Fa'amoe, OT, Wake Forest**

A college right tackle, Fa'amoe might be an even better fit inside at guard. He has the physicality to create movement at the point attack, and enough movement skills to play a couple of different positions.

Former Wake Forest/Washington State RT Fa'alili Fa'amoe (#79) has enough tools to stick outside… but he has starter upside if he kicks inside to guard. Heavy hands, natural power, clean frame. pic.twitter.com/3ZP87OdRL4

**Round 6, Pick 192: John Michael Gyllenborg, TE, Wyoming**

Heading into the 2025 season, there were a ton of people who were excited about Gyllenborg. He didn't have the season many expected, but the explosiveness and long speed are still very much there.

**Round 6, Pick 193: Le'Veon Moss, RB, Texas A&M**

If not for the durability concerns, Moss would have gone considerably higher than this slot. He's a tough and physical runner with enough explosiveness to hit a crease to create a chunk play.

Huge fan of Texas A&M RB Le'Veon Moss (#8). Patient, powerful, explosive, and runs violently. One of the best pure runners in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

Will go much higher than people think if the medicals check out. pic.twitter.com/l0GRRRtyrx
