Giants' 7-Round 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Where will John Harbaugh and Joe Schoen turn?
Ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, SNY's Connor Hughes predicts every pick the Giants will make.
It’s remarkable how mock drafting has changed over the years. My first full-time season covering the NFL was in 2016. Then, as now, these held real value this time of year.
But for seven-round mocks, you needed a big board and had to guess who might be available in each round. Now, there are countless simulators, each more detailed than the last. This year’s version from Pro Football Focus is particularly impressive.
We took it for a spin a week before the real thing in Pittsburgh. Here’s how it played out for the Giants : Round 1, No. 5 overall: S Caleb Downs, Ohio State This selection came after running back Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame) and linebacker Sonny Styles (Ohio State) went to the Cardinals and Titans, respectively.
There’s significant buzz in league circles, per sources, that the draft could unfold exactly that way. The Cardinals could opt for whichever pass rusher the Jets pass on at No. 2, but don’t be surprised if they select Love.
