The New York Giants head into an exciting offseason. With head coach John Harbaugh now in charge of the team, and quarterback Jaxson Dart going into his second season, there is an expectation that things could turn around quickly for the Giants. Filling the biggest holes on the roster this offseason will be essential.

In my latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft, the priority was for the Giants to land some impact defenders. From there, loading up with support for Dart was the next area of focus. Both were accomplished, and then some, in the latest mock draft.

Round 1, Pick 5: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State 

A linebacker in the top five might seem a bit high, but in this class, Styles has a strong argument right at the top of the board. At over 6-4 and 243 pounds, he is an outrageous athlete with unreal range on the second level. With a good defensive line in front of him, Styles has a chance to develop into a Pro Bowler early on in his NFL career.

Round 2, Pick 37: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo

McNeil-Warren is a big safety who offers a lot of versatility for an NFL team. While his 6-3, 210-pound frame would suggest that McNeil-Warren should be strictly a box safety, he has some underrated range on the back end. He should be a legitimate producer very early on the next level.

Round 4, Pick 105: Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State 

At over 6-3 and 200 pounds, Hurst is an intriguing outside wide receiver with some vertical potential. We are most likely not looking at a plus starter long term, but there is some upside as a compartmentalised passing option. Hurst should, at worst, become a solid depth piece and special teamer for an NFL team.

Round 5, Pick 143: Dametrious Crownover, OT, Texas A&M 

There is a chance that Crownover ends up going considerably higher than this, but if he is there, this would be an intriguing addition for a team like the Giants. At nearly 6-7 and 331 pounds, Crownover has the foot speed and length to eventually develop into a starter. That combination is an easy bet at this juncture of the draft, especially on Day Three (rounds 4-7).

Round 6, Pick 185: Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington 

At over 6-3 with extremely long arms, Prysock is an intriguing developmental option on the NFL level. He is a bit high cut, which does limit his change of direction skills at times. In the right system, however, there is a world where the former Arizona and Washington standout can become a valuable contributor.

Round 6, Pick 191: Keagen Trost, IOL, Missouri 

While Trost played right tackle for Missouri this past season, his best position is going to be on the interior at guard on the next level. He is a consistent football player who plays with sound technique and physicality. He has some developmental starter upside on the inside, but his experience at offensive tackle provides a floor to help get a team out of a game in a pinch.

Round 6, Pick 192: Sam Roush, TE, Stanford

At nearly 6-6 and 259 pounds, Roush brings the size profile to play inline on the next level. He has experience at Stanford playing a few different alignments, which should help his potential fit into multiple schemes on the NFL level. While he brings a solid overall profile, his lack of dynamic physical traits could limit his overall upside to be anything more than a solid rotational piece.
