The Giants are preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft, with potential first-round picks that could replace current veterans. They hold the fifth and tenth picks, depending on possible trades.
With the 2026 NFL Draft set to begin Thursday night, letâs take a look at the prospects the Giants could pick in Round 1.
Weâll also examine how these prospects might push aside veterans already on the roster.
YOUâRE ON THE CLOCK: BUILD YOUR OWN NFL MOCK DRAFT
Weâre breaking this down by the Giantsâ positions of need, as they get ready to pick fifth and 10th (or maybe later, if they trade back).
WIDE RECEIVER
Prospects Giants could pick: Carnell Tate (Ohio State), Makai Lemon (USC), Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State), Omar Cooper (Indiana)
Who might go where: Tate is an option at No. 5. He likely wonât be there at No. 10. The Giants seemingly really like Tyson and could take him 10th. Would they go for him at No. 5, if Tate is gone (and maybe even if he isnât)? Lemon is an intriguing prospect, but he seems unlikely to land with the Giants. Cooper is an option only if the Giants trade back from 10th.
Impact on veterans: Darius Slayton is not the long-term answer opposite Malik Nabers (who, remember, is still recovering from a torn ACL). Slaytonâs limitations (mainly drops) have been clear for a while. If the Giants draft one of these four receivers in Round 1, that new guy would immediately push Slayton out of his starting job.
The Giants are focusing on their positions of need as they prepare for the draft.

SECONDARY
Prospects Giants could pick: S Caleb Downs (Ohio State), CB Mansoor Delane (LSU)
Who might go where: It feels like Delane would be a reach at No. 5, even though he is widely considered this draftâs top cornerback. Downs is absolutely an option for the Giants at No. 5. He could very well be their pick at that spot. It would be a surprise if the Giants took a defensive back in Round 1 other than these two players, even if they trade back.
Impact on veterans: Tyler Nubin (2024 second-round pick) and Jevon Holland (big-money free agent addition in 2025) both struggled last season. Downs seemingly could be an upgrade from either player. He would take over for Nubin at the spot next to Holland. And remember, coach John Harbaugh didnât acquire Nubin or Holland.
As for cornerback, that spot remains a mess. Greg Newsome and Paulson Adebo arenât the long-term answers, with CorâDale Flott having left for a lucrative contract with the Titans. Harbaugh has no allegiance to Adebo. The coach/football czar just signed Newsome. Could Harbaugh wind up benching Adebo to start Delane opposite Newsome? Donât rule it out.
INSIDE LINEBACKER
Prospects Giants could pick: Sonny Styles (Ohio State), Arvell Reese (Ohio State)
Who might go where: Itâs highly unlikely either player falls to No. 10. Could both be gone by No. 5? Maybe. The Giants apparently arenât high on Styles. And Reese views himself as an edge rusher. The Giants are set at that position for now. Of course, Harbaugh could tell Reese heâs going to play a hybrid linebacker role next to Tremaine Edmunds.
Impact on veterans: Edmunds is the Giantsâ new (highly paid) middle linebacker. Micah McFadden is back on a one-year contract, but itâs not like heâs a proven starter. He would lose his job to Styles or Reese.
RUNNING BACK
Prospects Giants could pick: Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame)
Who might go where: He could go to Arizona at No. 3. But what if heâs there for the Giants at No. 5? That would present a fascinating choice for Harbaugh. There is little chance Love falls to No. 10.
Impact on veterans: If Harbaugh wants to make meaningful upgrades to his running back room, drafting Love is really the only way to do it. He is the clear-cut No. 1 back this year. Loveâs arrival probably would push Tyrone Tracy (and not Cam Skattebo) down the depth chart. Skattebo had an intriguing (albeit injury-shortened) rookie year, but heâs not yet a star.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Prospects Giants could pick: Francis Mauigoa (Miami), Vega Ioane (Penn State)
Who might go where: It would be a surprise if either went fifth. Both could still be available at No. 10. Thatâs entirely possible.
Impact on veterans: Left guard Jon Runyan is lucky he didnât get cut this offseason. The Giants have major issues at right guard. Does Harbaugh see Mauigoa as a guard, rather than a tackle? He needs to upgrade his interior offensive line if he wants to lean into a physical style.
