Overview
- The Giants currently hold the top 2026 pick, and a loss to the Raiders in Week 17 would position them to secure No. 1.
- Multiple December mock drafts build around QB Jaxson Dart, with PFF’s simulator forecasting a trade of No. 1 to the Jets for picks 4, 33, 251 and a 2027 first-rounder.
- Cornerback remains a priority after Deonte Banks was benched, and linebacker help is urgent after New York allowed the second-most rushing yards per game and the most yards per carry.
- Receiver depth is thin following Malik Nabers’ torn ACL, leaving no clear No. 2 option alongside him for 2026.
- New York is projected to enter April with about seven selections, making a trade-down attractive as scouts evaluate bowl-game targets at tackle, defensive line and running back.
