At long last, the 2026 NFL draft is almost here. If you\u2019re tired of hearing about arm length, twitchiness, measurables, non-stop motors, character, and football IQ, you aren\u2019t alone. Paralysis by analysis is a real thing, and it happens every April.<\/p>\n

After the Dexter Lawrence trade this past weekend, the Giants hold 20% of the picks in the Top-10. Big Blue fans are excited by that prospect, but they also haven\u2019t forgotten that the team was in a similar position in 2022 (in what was considered a stronger draft) and the selections they made — EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux at Pick 5 and OT Evan Neal at Pick 7\u2014haven\u2019t lived up to expectations. GM Joe Schoen and HC John Harbaugh hope to nail it this time around.<\/p>\n

The speculation around the fifth pick has been intense, and when the Giants traded Lawrence to the Bengals on Saturday night and added the 10th pick in the process, that just made their draft strategy more uncertain. Will the Giants trade out of one of the slots, to accumulate more capital? Of the prospects they covet most, which are likely to make it all the way to pick 10 if they pass at Pick 5? We\u2019ll find out what they\u2019re doing soon enough. Adding another Top-10 pick has made the first round way more interesting for the G-Men, and they\u2019re perhaps the most pivotal team in the round.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been tracking the Fanduel <\/a>odds for Pick 5, and the big move since my last column is the ascension of Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson in the wake of his workout last Friday. On that day, my most recent Pick 5 Odds Tracker<\/a> column appeared here on the site. Here\u2019s what the FanDuel odds for Pick 5 looked like at the time:<\/p>\n

Ohio State LB Sonny Styles: +190<\/p>\n

Ohio State S Caleb Downs: +250<\/p>\n

Miami OT Francis Mauigoa +420<\/p>\n

Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love: +650<\/p>\n

Ohio State WR Carnell Tate: +1400<\/p>\n

ASU WR Jordyn Tyson +1900<\/p>\n

With less than 36 hours remaining until the selections start coming off the board, here is what the odds for Pick 5 show at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, April 22:<\/p>\n

Ohio State LB Sonny Styles: +185<\/p>\n

Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love: +380<\/p>\n

Ohio State S Caleb Downs: +550<\/p>\n

Miami OT Francis Mauigoa +950<\/p>\n

Ohio State WR Carnell Tate: +1100<\/p>\n

Here are some quick takeaways from the latest odds:<\/p>\n

First, the rise of Tyson is significant. In the days since his workout, he has dropped from almost 20:1 to less than 3:1. By all accounts, he showed teams what they needed to see, after a hamstring injury limited him at the Combine. Eighteen teams attended that workout, but only two GMs were there, and Schoen was one of them. Tate\u2019s odds have dropped, so the money seems to think the Giants have a preference for Tyson, who many experts believe would be the clear WR1 in this class if not for his injury history. For more on the Giants\u2019 potential interest in Tyson, see this column<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s believed that both the Saints at #8 and the Chiefs at #9 \u2013 who both have an obvious need at WR — have real interest in Tyson, so if the Giants want him, waiting until Pick 10 to take him would be dicey. It\u2019s interesting to note that Tate is still the favorite for first WR taken. His over\/under for pick slot is 7.5, while Tyson is at 8.5.<\/p>\n

Second, the odds for Love have shortened, and are now a little less than 4:1. If the Giants are going to add an offensive playmaker with their fifth pick to help out Jaxson Dart, who better than Love? He\u2019s a rare talent and a home-run hitter. Most analysts have him as either the first or second-ranked player in the entire draft. But running back is not a premium position, nor is it a glaring need for the G-Men. For what it\u2019s worth, Todd McShay gave Love to the Giants at Pick 5 in his final Mock Draft, after having Styes as the pick in most of his prior iterations. Styles is still the favorite at Pick 5 though, and his odds haven\u2019t moved much in the last two weeks. Ed Valentine\u2019s final Mock Draft Tracker will be up on the site tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Third, the odds for Pick 10 aren\u2019t that meaningful, since it\u2019s so hard to know which players will make it there. But it\u2019s worth noting that Downs has the shortest odds there, at +300. Right behind him is Tyson, at +330. For whatever reason, those are two players who the books are linking to Big Blue heading into the draft. Of the two, Downs is the one Vegas thinks is more likely to make it to Pick 10 (his Over\/Under is 9.5).<\/p>\n
