YOU’RE ON THE CLOCK: BUILD YOUR OWN NFL MOCK DRAFT
So let’s bring you our latest — and final — Giants seven-round mock projection, as John Harbaugh rebuilds this franchise.
To make this projection more realistic, we used Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator to make the non-Giants selections.
• Round 1 (No. 5): S Caleb Downs, Ohio State
In this projection, the first four picks were Fernando Mendoza (of course), followed by edge rusher David Bailey to the Jets, running back Jeremiyah Love to the Cardinals and edge rusher Arvell Reese to the Titans. Harbaugh then goes with a player he hopes can be his next Ed Reed or Kyle Hamilton — a game-changing safety.
• Round 1 (No. 10): WR , Arizona State

Tyson is the expected pick for Harbaugh at No. 10, as he passes on Makai Lemon. Harbaugh desperately needs an upgrade from Darius Slayton at the receiver spot opposite Malik Nabers. Tyson gives him that.

• Round 2 (No. 37): DT Christen Miller, Georgia
A valuable young piece in the middle of the defensive line, with Lawrence gone. Even with the Giants expected to sign D.J. Reader after the draft, he isn’t a long-term solution for them.
• Round 4 (No. 105): CB Malik Muhammad, Texas
He isn’t going to be a sure-thing Day 1 option as the Giants’ No. 1 corner. (He’s a fourth-round pick, after all.) But Harbaugh needs to do something to address his less-than-ideal corner situation.
Muhammad, who is 6 feet and 182 pounds, must get bigger and stronger.
But there’s a lot to like about him, including these items from his NFL.com scouting report: “He can man up from press or off and is a plus pattern-matcher, staying in-phase and shadowing break points. He displays outstanding vision and adheres to his zone-cover principles, allowing him to play with ideal efficiency on all three levels.”
• Round 5 (No. 145): C Jager Burton, Kentucky
John Michael Schmitz has failed to impress through three seasons and is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Burton can slot in as his backup in 2026, spend time learning and maybe compete for the starting job in 2027.
• Round 6 (No. 186): S Cole Wisniewski, Texas Tech
Some safety depth and special teams help, with Downs already in the mix. Wisniewski’s run-stopping skills will intrigue Harbaugh. But Wisniewski must prove he can consistently stay healthy.
• Round 6 (No. 192): Edge rusher Quintayvious Hutchins, Boston College
An undersized player who plays stronger than he looks. From his NFL.com scouting report: “He’s an above-average athlete with good short-area burst when pursuing runners and quarterbacks. Hutchins should compete for a backup role as a stand-up edge and become a plus contributor on special teams.”
• Round 6 (No. 193): OG Ar’maj Reed-Adams, Texas A&M
Not a starter from the get-go, of course. But he should provide some much-needed guard depth.
