Giants Bench Russell Wilson, Putting Steelers’ Projected Comp Pick at Risk of Sliding

Analysts say falling below roughly a 40% snap threshold could push Pittsburgh’s 2026 return tied to Wilson down from a projected fourth-rounder to the sixth.

Overview

  • New York benched Wilson for rookie Jaxson Dart after a rough three-game start that included a poor Week 3 showing against the Chiefs.
  • Compensatory-pick expert Nick Korte notes Wilson likely needed to play through about Week 7 to sustain a fourth-round projection for Pittsburgh.
  • Korte’s updated outlook warns the Wilson-related pick could drop as low as the sixth round if his 2025 snap share stays under the estimated 40% mark.
  • Pittsburgh is still projected to net multiple comp selections in 2026, with current estimates listing Dan Moore Jr. (3rd), Justin Fields (4th), Wilson (5th) and Donte Jackson (6th).
  • The final round attached to Wilson will hinge on his remaining snaps this season, with projections subject to change if the Giants’ quarterback usage shifts.
