The 2026 NFL Draft was already setting up to be an exciting draft for the New York Giants<\/a>, where they entered the event with the No. 5 overall pick in the first round. It\u2019s general manager Joe Schoen\u2019s first chance to mold the roster around new head coach John Harbaugh.<\/p>\n

Yet, after the Giants wound up trading three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in exchange for the 10th overall pick? All eyes on the Giants\u2019 fanbase are tuned into Thursday night, where New York now has two first-round picks.<\/p>\n

Now that the team has two first and eight selections overall, it\u2019s time for an updated projection of the 2026 New York Giants mock draft, from No. 5 to 193.<\/p>\n

First Round, No. 5 Overall \u2013 Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State\"2026<\/p>\n

A freak talent that just isn\u2019t found in any other place besides Madden video games, Styles is too enticing for Harbaugh to pass up on. A 6-foot-5 athlete capable of clocking a 4.46-second 40 time, Styles and Tremaine Edmunds will give the Giants a pair of monstrous linebackers at MetLife.<\/p>\n

First Round, No. 10 Overall \u2013 Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State\"NCAA<\/p>\n

Chances are, a surprise prospect such as Caleb Downs could be available here, if so, the Giants could double down on impact defenders from Ohio State. Yet, with Malik Nabers coming off a season-ending knee injury, it\u2019s possible the Giants want to provide their young franchise QB with another high-upside receiver. Tyson has WR1 potential, and if he reaches it, we could see shades of the Bengals\u2019 duo of Chase and Higgins. That\u2019s worth a gamble.<\/p>\n

Second Round, No. 37 Overall \u2013 Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon\"Syndication:<\/p>\n

Solidifying the offensive line will surely continue to be a priority for a Giants team that has been far too inconsistent. Protecting Jaxson Dart<\/a> is a must, and while Pregnon is experienced at left guard, his power will fit in perfectly at right guard too. Plus, the 6-foot-4 315-pounder is extremely strong, he\u2019ll move a lot of people out of the way for Dart and Skattebo.<\/p>\n

Fourth Round, No. 105 Overall \u2013 Dontay Corleone, DI, Cincinnati\"NCAA<\/p>\n

The cold, hard truth is that Dexter Lawrence is gone. The Giants had a DL need before they dealt away their \u201cmiddle stone,\u201d now that weakness is far greater. Addressing the position in the second round is a possibility, but the Giants simply won\u2019t find anyone like Lawrence. Corleone won\u2019t replace Lawrence\u2019s abilities as a pass-rusher, but he\u2019s a stout nose tackle who will be impactful against the run early on.<\/p>\n
