Giants Day 2 Mock Draft: New York continues defensive makeover, adds speedy receivers for Jaxson Dart
What would an ideal remaining 2026 NFL Draft haul for the New York Giants look like over the next two days of action?
After night one of the 2026 NFL Draft, the New York Giants sit as one of the big winners across the league. Their two-man haul of Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese and Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa was a tremendous value. The John Harbaugh era is off to a great start.
Round 1, Pick 5: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State
Round 1, Pick 10: Francis Mauigoa, OL, Miami
Heading into Day Two of the draft, the Giants have even more opportunities to create a lot of optimism for the future. With two days and six rounds remaining, the team has six selections remaining, barring any future movement. Here is what a great end haul could look like over the next two days.
Remaining Giants 2026 NFL mock draft
Round 2, Pick 37: Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee
The Giants’ cornerback room is in a rough spot right now. Hood is a tremendous cover man who specializes in press man coverage. He should come in immediately and potentially become the team’s top cornerback.
Round 4, Pick 105: Kaleb Proctor, DT, SE Louisiana
Without Dexter Lawrence now, the Giants need to find some impact performers on the interior. Proctor is an incredibly explosive defensive tackle with some tremendous interior pass rushing upside. There is a crazy ceiling to tap into here.
Round 5, Pick 145: Jeff Caldwell, WR, Cincinnati
When it comes to raw athleticism, the former Lindenwood transfer has a lot of tools to work with. He just isn’t a very good football player right now. If Caldwell is developed well, he could become a huge steal down the road.
Round 6, Pick 186: Jakobe Thomas, S, Miami
While Thomas is a bit volatile as a cover man, he is a headhunter in the middle of the field. He plays with an outstanding blend of physicality and explosiveness. Thomas adds a tremendous, intimidating presence to the defense.
Round 6, Pick 192: Josh Cameron, WR, Baylor
Cameron is a unique wide receiver, standing 6-1 and weighing over 220 pounds. The former walk-on does some nice things after the catch, which shouldn’t be a major surprise considering his impact as a returner on special teams. That should be his sticking point.
Round 6, Pick 193: Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo
A physical cornerback with a ton of developmental upside, there is a lot to like about Fuller’s projection to the NFL level. If nothing else, he should be able to compete to find a role on special teams as he fine-tunes the better parts of his game.
