New York Giants trade back three times, find multiple weapons for Jaxson Dart in latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft
The latest 7-round 2026 mock draft gives the New York Giants a ton of trade backs, secondary help, and more weapons for Jaxson Dart.
There is a lot of positive energy around the New York Giants with the hiring of head coach John Harbaugh this offseason. With quarterback Jaxson Dart already in place, it is going to be on the organization to put enough talent around him to maximize the offensive group. There is also a solid foundation already on defense, which needs to continue being built on.
In my latest 7-round NFL mock draft, the emphasis was on rebuilding the secondary, while also adding those aforementioned weapons. The mock got started with three consecutive trades, netting even more Day Two draft capital and another pick in the 2027 class. This draft haul was worth the wait for Giants fans.
– The New York Giants trade the No. 5 and the No. 193 selection to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the No. 15, the No. 46, and a 2027 second round selection
– The New York Giants trade the No. 15 and the No. 105 selection to the Cleveland Browns for the No. 24 and the No. 39 selection
– The New York Giants trade the No. 24 selection to the Seattle Seahawks for the No. 32 and the No. 64 selection
Round 1, Pick 32: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina
The former NC State standout put together a tremendous 2025 season with the South Carolina Gamecocks. He is a talented cover man who has experience playing both on the outside and in the slot. The Giants need to add talent to both spots, considering big overall needs in their secondary.
Round 2, Pick 37: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville
If Bell hadn’t torn his ACL during the 2025 season, he would have had a chance to go inside the top 20 overall selections. While the Giants will have to be a bit patient with Bell, you will be hard-pressed to find a 6-2, 222-pound wideout with this type of explosiveness. The future is still very bright for Bell.
Round 2, Pick 46: Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon
The Giants have a need on the interior of the offensive line, and Pregnon could come in and compete for playing time early on. The former Wyoming transfer is a massive offensive guard with some very real displacement power and solid overall movement skills. His floor is relatively high, even if his ceiling is somewhat modest.
Round 2, Pick 64: Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas
While Cam Skattebo is a solid player, as is Tyrone Tracy, Washington might just be too good to pass up at this juncture in the draft. Harbaugh has always valued the running game in a big way, so adding a 228-pound runner with legitimate explosiveness brings a ton of possibilities.
Round 5, Pick 145: Kaleb Elarms-Orr, LB, TCU
With legitimate range and speed from the second level, Elarms-Orr is one of the more underrated linebackers in the 2026 class. If his instincts and eyes become a bit more consistent, you are looking at a future starter, but he should, at worst, become a good rotational player and special teamer.
Round 6, Pick 186: Kaleb Proctor, DT, SE Louisiana
It’s very possible that Proctor ends up going a bit earlier than this, but the Giants aren’t going to complain about it. A bit undersized, Proctor is an explosive athlete in the middle of a defense with tremendous upside as an interior pass rusher. Just imagine him in an NFL strength program for a couple of years.
Round 6, Pick 192: Collin Wright, CB, Stanford
While there are several cornerback prospects that have more athletic talent and upside, Wright is one of the safer players in the 2026 class. He is a decisive cover man who always seems to be in the correct spot, which is an underrated skill.
