We’ve officially reached that point in the draft process where Pro Days are starting to take center stage. It's the perfect chance for prospects to showcase their skill sets in a more controlled environment than the NFL Combine.
The New York Giants are no strangers to Pro Days. Just this offseason, they’ve already had front office and coaching staff members at Ohio State, Texas, Miami, Cincinnati, and UConn getting eyes on guys who could end up helping John Harbaugh get this thing going in the right direction.
The results haven't disappointed. These Pro Days have already started to change how this class is shaping up, which makes things a lot more interesting heading into my latest seven-round mock draft.
Giants 7-round mock draft after Pro Day results flood the timeline
We have a trade to announce:
The G-Men are trading back in the first round after working out a deal with the Washington Commanders. New York is sending the fifth pick to the Commies for the No. 7 and 71 picks in return.
Big Blue slides back two spots, adds a much-needed third-rounder (which they didn't have entering the draft), while Washington trades up to grab elite running back prospect Jeremiyah Love out of Notre Dame.
Round 1 | Pick 7: Mansoor Delane - CB, LSU
Delane was frequently mocked to the G-Men before running a 4.35–4.38 40, so he only helped himself by showing he’s got more than enough juice for the next level. The 6-foot, 187-pound corner fits perfectly with what defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson wants to do -- press coverage.
I’d tell you to ask anyone who scored a touchdown on him in 2025 how tough he was to line up against, but you’d be talking to yourself -- he didn’t give up a single score. He also picked off two passes and broke up 11 more, and his 90.7 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus ranked fourth out of 897 eligible corners, against SEC competition no less. Getting a potential lockdown corner for the foreseeable future here is too hard to pass up.
Round 2 | Pick 37: Kayden McDonald - DL, Ohio State
The 37th pick ultimately came down to either Kayden McDonald or Peter Woods. Woods is probably the more talented prospect and the better overall athlete, but McDonald’s run defense and brute strength are just too good to pass up.
Dexter Lawrence needs a running mate, and while he’s more than capable against the run himself, he’s not far removed from a 9.5-sack season. With Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux on the outside, bringing in a 6-foot-3, 325-pounder to blow up the ground game just feels right. McDonald would instantly take some of the heat off Sexy Dexy and keep him from getting double-teamed into irrelevance.
Round 3 | Pick 71: Antonio Williams - WR, Clemson
Franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart needs more help in the weapons department, especially at receiver. Malik Nabers is coming back from a torn ACL, and the funky bunch behind him isn’t all that much to write home about. With Wan’Dale Robinson gone, the G-Men could use another slot option, and Clemson’s Antonio Williams fits perfectly here.
The 5-foot-11 wideout isn’t the biggest, but his quickness, route running, and ability to separate give off Amon-Ra St. Brown vibes, and that would be objectively awesome. He took advantage of his Pro Day by showing scouts his burst out of breaks on top of his 4.41 40 time from the combine. A dynamic duo of Leek and Williams could feed families in North Jersey.
Round 4 | Pick 105: Deontae Lawson - LB, Alabama
Adding Tremaine Edmunds and re-signing Micah McFadden didn’t stop me from thinking linebacker is still a position of need, and with Alabama’s Deontae Lawson still on the board, drafting for need became selecting best player available at the same time.
Lawson isn’t the biggest linebacker at 6-foot-2, 228 pounds, which can make it tough for him to shed blockers, but what he lacks in size, he makes up for with his athleticism and instincts.
Round 5 | Pick 145: Beau Stephens - OG, Iowa
Big Blue is still staring a hole at right guard in the face, and with no movement in free agency, landing one of the best pass-protectors in the class in the fifth round feels like highway robbery. In his last 24 starts, Iowa’s Beau Stephens hasn’t allowed a single sack and is coming off First-Team All-America honors.
The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Stephens thrives in inside zone and power/gap schemes. His ability to maul interior defenders and climb to the second level to annihilate linebackers fits perfectly with the new smash-mouth, knuckle-up identity the G-Men are attempting to establish under Harbaugh and Matt Nagy.
We have another trade to announce:
At this point, the secondary, both defensive and offensive lines, linebacker, and receiver have all been addressed, so with three sixth-round picks sitting there, we’re sending one to Cleveland for wideout Jerry Jeudy to give Dart a more proven option on offense to pair with his new third-round rookie.
Round 6 | Pick 192: Pat Coogan - OC, Indiana
Going interior offensive line back-to-back might not be the cool thing to do, but I'm doing it anyway. John Michael Schmitz hasn’t exactly shut the door on anything through three years, and with Austin Schlottmann off to Tennessee, there’s not much behind him either. Enter Indiana's Pat Coogan.
The 23-year-old won't wow anyone with his athleticism or traits, but he's a natural-born leader, whose physical, "no-nonsense" play style has been hilariously described as "four quarters of f*** you football." I'll take that guy in my corner over the athletic project any day.
Round 6 | Pick 193: Cole Wisniewski - SAF, Texas Tech
I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to… Cole Wisniewski gives big-time shades of Kyle Hamilton. Not in the talent department -- Hamilton went 14th overall, and Wisniewski’s a sixth-rounder -- but the play style and similar size (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) were apparently too much for me to ignore. I need to stop doing this to myself.
At worst, the Wis-kid carves out a role on Harby’s special teams unit. At best, he brings a takeaway element to a secondary that hasn’t exactly been great at giving the ball back to the offense. His eight interceptions at North Dakota State in 2023 tied an FCS record, and it gives you a pretty good idea of what this hybrid everything-on-defense, Kang look-alike can do.
