New York Giants 7-Round 2026 NFL Mock Draft: team trades the No. 5 pick for a massive haul, adds several weapons for QB Jaxson Dart
The latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft gives the New York Giants impact talent on both sides of the football.
The New York Giants are in the midst of a very important offseason, the first under head coach John Harbaugh. This is a roster with some solid preexisting talent, including quarterback Jaxson Dart, but there is a lot of room for growth. While free agency is on everyone’s minds, the 2026 NFL Draft will also be important for this team to flip this roster and add talent.
In my latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft, things got off with a bang, including the Giants trading back from their No. 5 overall selection. The priority was for the team to add impact talent all over the roster. They did just that with their nine overall selections.
The New York Giants trade the No. 5 selection to the New Orleans Saints for the No. 8, the No. 40, and the No. 149 selections
Round 1, Pick 8: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
After the trade back, the Giants opt to put another talented wide receiver with Dart. As long as his durability is solid enough, Tyson has outstanding upside on the next level. Tyson is a three-level separator with some outrageous downfield acceleration.
Round 2, Pick 37: Chase Bisontis, OG, Texas A&M
Bisontis is one of the better pass protecting offensive guards who have come out in several years. As his impact in the run game becomes better, Bistontis has the potential to become a plus starter inside on the next level.
Round 2, Pick 42: CJ Allen, LB, Georgia
While Allen is a shorter linebacker at around 6-0, he is also an extremely dense second-level defender with modern range. Allen should quickly develop into an outstanding communicator at middle linebacker. The Giants need that type of player on their defense desperately.
Round 4, Pick 105: Austin Barber, OT, Florida
Barber is a massive offensive tackle who has played a ton of football with the Gators. He is pretty stiff, which could limit him as a starter on the next level. That raw size and hand strength, however, could give him a sound floor as a swing tackle on the next level, at least.
Round 5, Pick 144: Charles Demmings, CB, Stephen F. Austin
With a big frame, length, and long speed, Demmings has a ton of upside to work with. Although Demmings is coming from the FCS level, he has the overall talent to make a successful ascension.
Round 5, Pick 149: VJ Payne, S, Kansas State
At around 6-3 and 210 pounds, Payne is a massive safety with some upside for being a tight end eraser and box player. Payne also has some underrated range if he could become more proactive.
Round 6, Pick 186: De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss
There’s a chance that Stribling goes earlier in the draft, but the Giants aren’t going to complain. Stribling is a physical pass catcher who can win above the rim, while also being better after the catch than many would expect.
Round 6, Pick 192: Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington
From a physical perspective, there is a lot to love about Prysock. His longer frame will always make his change of direction a bit limited, but the length and ball skills are impressive.
Round 6, Pick 193: Marlin Klein, TE, Michigan
The German native has some really fun tools to work with, but he is a major work in progress. If a team can be patient and develop him, there’s a strong chance that this becomes a huge value in the future.
