The New York Giants will continue making unwanted history if they use both of their top-10 picks in the 2026 NFL draft.

The New York Giants have two picks in the top 10 in the 2026 NFL draft, an occurrence that used to be a rarity for them, but nowadays, it's become business as usual. The Giants have been regular participants in the first hour(s) of the draft over the past 12 years by virtue of logging 10 losing seasons over that stretch. They have a record of 67-123-1 since 2014, second worst in the NFL behind only their MetLife Stadium co-tenants, the Jets (63-134).

The Giants are now scheduled to make their 10th and 11th Top-10 picks since 2015, the most in the NFL, per ESPN’s @EpKap . In the previous 40 drafts combined from 1975-2014, the Giants made 11 Top-10 picks. pic.
