Giants round out roster with exciting outcome that fits John Harbaugh vision in post-first round mock draft
New York enters the final six rounds of the draft with six draft picks, a huge amount of capital for general manager Joe Schoen and head coach John Harbaugh.
The New York Giants had a high-upside first round, taking linebacker/edge defender hybrid Arvell Reese and offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa in the top 10. While those players are the most important ones at the moment and have more chances to impact the roster, general manager Joe Schoen and head coach John Harbaugh still have a lot of work to do. To project that, there’s nothing better than a mock draft.
Over the next two days, the Giants still have six draft picks — if there aren’t any trades. So, let’s utilize A to Z Sports draft simulator and take a look at what could happen for New York.
Second round, Pick 37: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Elite hands and red-zone threat at 6’4″, 210 pounds. Polished route runner with contested-catch ability and outstanding footwork. Limited natural separation and capped explosiveness could create concerns at the next level.
Fourth round, Pick 105: Kaleb Proctor, DT, SE Louisiana
Compact 6’3″, 280-pound interior with sneaky pass-rush ability for FCS level. Nine sacks in 2025. Wins with effort and leverage over explosiveness. Limited athleticism could struggle against elite NFL guards.
Fifth round, Pick 145: TJ Hall, CB, Iowa
Physical boundary corner with elite run-defense grading and clean catch-point technique. Quick-punch pass breakups. Below-average timed speed limits recovery ability. Versatile with safety/corner position flexibility.
Sixth round, Pick 186: Thaddeus Dixon, CB, North Carolina
Recruited by Bill Belichick to play at UNC. Dixon was up and down as a tackler throughout his college career. He transferred to North Carolina this past season, and the alignment versatility is a calling card. He can play inside and outside, and even being frequently used as a blitzer. He had 19 pass breakups over three college seasons — the first two ones at Washington.
Sixth round, Pick 192: Beau Stephens, IOL, Iowa
Exceptional zone run-blocker with sturdy anchor and violent finishing ability. Short arms require crafty hand usage; struggles against power-rush interior defenders. Tough-minded, high-effort performer with grit.
Sixth round, Pick 193: Kaelon Black, RB, Indiana
Compact 5’9″, 208-pound north-south runner with natural low pad level. National champion with fearless pass blocking. Limited receiver experience and short frame restrict three-down volume role.
