The New York Giants were one of the clear winners from the 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh last month.
The Giants selected Ohio State superstar Arvell Reese with the fifth overall pick, followed by Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa at No. 10. Each player was widely regarded as the top available talent at his position, and New York was able to land the duo within the first 10 picks of the draft.
The Giants added much-needed depth at cornerback in the second round by selecting Tennessee defensive back Colton Hood with the 37th overall pick. New York was extremely busy throughout Day 2 of the draft. After choosing Hood, the team traded into the third round to select Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields.
Following that move, the Giants had just three picks remaining. They selected Auburn defensive tackle Bobby Jamison-Travis, Illinois offensive tackle J.C. Davis, and BYU linebacker Jack Kelly in the sixth round to complete their 2026 draft class.
Pro Football Focus recently graded the Giants’ 2026 rookie class, awarding New York an "A" for one of the highest-ranking rookie classes in the NFL. However, PFF also says they reached on three players: Fields, Jamison-Travis, and Kelly.
Reese and the rest of the Giants’ rookie class will look to prove their potential during training camp this summer, as New York enters the 2026 season with an elite young core on both sides of the ball.
