5 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the team will have several different avenues to consider with that choice. General manager Joe Schoen is putting together a roster that will fit with what new head coach John Harbaugh is looking to accomplish with this team. Though the Giants have only won a total of 13 games in the last three seasons, Harbaugh will be looking to win quickly.
The biggest decision he will face early on is what to do with that first-round pick. Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report recently put out 10 predictions for the upcoming draft and he believes that the Giants will trade that pick. Here was his analysis: "The New York Giants' initial pick can be where the entire draft turns, because they should move out of this year's top five and add extra draft assets.
Currently, the Giants own seven selections, but four of those aren't until the 145th slot or later. New York doesn't even own a third-round pick thanks to last year's deal with the Houston Texans , so it could trade up and choose quarterback Jaxson Dart. General manager Joe Schoen has done a good job reshaping the roster in John Harbaugh's image.
