EAST RUTHERFORD - The New York Giants enter the 2026 NFL Draft with eight selections, seeking to kick off the John Harbaugh era in a big way with two Top 10 picks.
That starts tonight, and while team brass will convene at 1925 Giants Drive for the festivities that will play out in Pittsburgh, there's no question the present and future of Big Blue is set up for franchise-altering decisions in the first round.
Here is a look at those selections:
Biggest needs: OG, DT, CB, WR
Offensive guard: The Giants are still exploring options at right guard, having re-signed Evan Neal, Aaron Stinnie and Joshua Ezeudu and brought former Ravens starter Daniel Faalele into the mix, all on one-year deals. They could look to take one of several offensive linemen sure to be high on their board at No. 10 - Miami's Francis Mauigoa, Utah's Spencer Fano or Penn State's Vega Ioane - or pick from a cluster at the top of the second round with Texas A&M's Chase Bisontis, Oregon's Emmanuel Pregnon, Georgia Tech's Keylan Rutledge and Utah's Caleb Lomu potentially in the mix there.
Defensive tackle: The Giants would have been challenged to add to the position with Dexter Lawrence here; now, after trading Lawrence to Cincinnati, that void is even bigger. The DT class is not deep in the first round, but a sweet spot could be on Day 2 or early Day 3. Ohio State's Kayden McDonald is likely tops, and the Giants have met with Texas Tech's Lee Hunter and Missouri's Chris McClellan, among others. McClellan could be a value pick in the fourth round (No. 105), while the Giants are expected to sign veteran D.J. Reader post-draft, and he might not be the only addition.
Cornerback: Paulson Adebo is a returning starter and Greg Newsome was signed in free agency, but the Giants could consider making a first round splash with LSU's Mansoor Delane. Former first round pick Tae Banks might need a big summer to salvage his spot. It'll be interesting to see where Dru Phillips fits after two years of up and down play at nickel.
Wide receiver: The Giants love Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson and he's expected to receive serious consideration for one of their top two picks in the aftermath of a positive workout in front of league officials in Arizona last Friday. He'd pair with Malik Nabers at the top of the depth chart, while free agent signees Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin will put pressure on returnees Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins, among others. A wild card here is the potential re-signing of Odell Beckham Jr., who had a promising workout as a free agent with the Giants on Monday after missing all of last season.
Round 1: Thursday, April 23, 8 p.m. ET
Rounds 2-3: Friday, April 24, 7 p.m. ET
Rounds 4-7: Saturday, April 25, noon ET
Location: Pittsburgh, Pa.
The 2026 NFL Draft will air on ESPN, ABC, NFL Network and ESPN Deportes. If you have an over-the-air antenna that picks up ABC, you can watch the draft without a cable or live streaming subscription.
The draft can be live streamed on ESPN+, NFL+, Hulu+ Live TV, YouTube TV, Sling and Fubo.
