The 2025 season is officially in the books... at least for the New York Giants. After a 4-13 finish, it’s just another forgettable chapter in what feels like a never-ending book of them.
The G-Men were in the running for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 Draft before rattling off a two-game winning streak to end the season on a high note. That late surge pushed them back to the fifth overall pick. It’s not the top-tier spot many fans were hoping for -- hand up -- but it’s still a real chance for Joe Schoen and Co. to bring in talent and build a roster around rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.

With the draft order now set for non-playoff teams, here is my latest full seven-round mock draft courtesy of Pro Football Network's online tool.
Giants’ updated 2026 mock draft after finishing 4-13
This draft class is all about adding functional pieces to a roster that’s been struggling to compete the past decade or so:
- Round 1: Pick 5 - WR Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State)
- Round 2: Pick 37 - LB Anthony Hill Jr. (Texas)
- Round 4: Pick 105 - OG Jaeden Roberts (Alabama)
- Round 5: Pick 145 - CB Devon Marshall (NC State)
- Round 6: Pick 183 - OT Kage Casey (Boise State)
- Round 6: Pick 189 - DT Nick Barrett (South Carolina)
- Round 6: Pick 190 - SAF Bud Clark (TCU)
Jordyn Tyson at No. 5 gives Dart a legitimate receiving threat opposite Malik Nabers. He's someone who can stretch the field, win his route, and give defenses something to actually fear if the Giants ever lose Nabers for a considerable amount of time again. His own injury history is somewhat of a gamble, but the upside is worth it.
Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 2 would instantly change the tone of Big Blue's defensive front seven. He’s aggressive, fast, and relentless, the type of linebacker this team hasn’t had in what feels like forever. Jaeden Roberts feels like a perfect Day 3 pick: a plug-and-play guard who brings physicality and gives the O-line some badly needed punch.
Devon Marshall’s got the kind of bite the secondary has lacked. He’s not perfect, but he competes and doesn’t shy away from big moments. The late-round picks are always risky, but hitting on them can turn things around fast.
Kage Casey adds necessary swing-tackle depth. Nick Barrett gives the D-line another big body to eat up space. Bud Clark, if nothing else, can play special teams while growing into a rotational safety role with highlight-reel potential.
None of these guys alone will magically fix everything. But this type of class, one that gets some interesting depth pieces while injecting top-end talent where it matters, gives the Giants a real foundation to build from. It’s not a home run draft. It’s a win-the-line-of-scrimmage, we'll-show-you-what-we're-made-of draft.
And for where this team is right now, this mock looks like a step in the right direction.
