ESPN Mock Has Giants Trading With Browns to No. 3, Taking Miami OT Francis Mauigoa

With Jaxson Dart established at quarterback, New York is projected to parlay a top draft slot into added capital for a broader rebuild.

Overview

  • In Matt Miller’s ESPN mock, the Giants move from No. 2 to No. 3 in a swap with the Browns and add third-round picks in 2026 and 2027.
  • New York is then projected to select Miami right tackle Francis Mauigoa, billed as a plug-and-play starter opposite Andrew Thomas.
  • Some evaluators reportedly see Mauigoa as a future guard, reflecting ongoing debate about his best NFL position.
  • Reported college metrics for Mauigoa vary by outlet, with one citing two sacks and 10 pressures over 638 snaps and another noting just one sack allowed.
  • Coverage notes receiver remains a viable first-round alternative for supporting Dart, with Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson and Ohio State’s Carnell Tate named as options, while a Big Blue View columnist questions the urgency of an offensive line overhaul.
