After last week’s mock draft for the New York Giants, I’m sticking with the fifth pick this time. Here’s how it unfolds.
Round 1 (No. 5) — Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State
There weren’t many surprises here. Running back Jeremiyah Love went second to the New York Jets, and safety Caleb Downs went third to the Arizona Cardinals. I doubt those picks will happen in real life, but in this mock draft, here we are.
I briefly considered trading down to pick No. 9 with the Kansas City Chiefs, which would have netted me their 29th pick. I was eyeing cornerback Mansoor Delane or guard Vega Ioane at No. 9. Eventually, though, I decided against trading out, especially after defending Styles for this pick. It would have felt silly to pass on him.
Round 2 (No. 37) — TRADE ALERT!
The Giants traded the 37th pick to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for the 41st and 110th picks.
I really wanted Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon, but he went at No. 36 to the Las Vegas Raiders. My goal was to move back and grab an extra third-round pick, which I didn’t accomplish. However, trading down four spots helped me gain a full round by moving from pick 145 to 110. I felt confident I could snag a strong player later.
Round 2 (No. 41) — Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&M
This is where my strategy comes into play. The Giants need to bolster the interior of their offensive line, so I picked Bisontis, who ranks high on my list. Players like Gennings Dunker from Iowa and Keylan Rutledge from Georgia Tech were still available, but I wasn’t going to miss out on Bisontis.
The PFSN scouting report highlights that he had a standout season in 2025, earning third-team All-SEC honors. With impressive flexibility and balance, he’s a dual-threat, excelling at both run-blocking and pass protection.
Round 4 (No. 105) — Will Lee, CB, Texas A&M
I was eyeing Julian Neal, my favorite mid-round cornerback, but he went off the board earlier. Cornerback is a pressing need for the Giants, so I took a chance on Lee. His size and fluidity give him strong potential, but he needs to refine his technical skills.
Round 4 (No. 110) — Dontay Corleone, DT, Cincinnati
Corleone is a massive nose tackle who can help solidify the defensive line when Dexter Lawrence needs a breather. Historically, the Giants have struggled without him, so I believe Corleone can help address that gap.
The PFSN scouting report noted that he excelled in stopping runners last season, allowing only 1.42 yards per run stop. However, his pass-rushing stats were less impressive, showing potential for future development.
Conclusion
This draft offers the Giants a chance to address multiple needs. We have Styles, Bisontis, Lee, and Corleone to strengthen both the offense and defense. Let’s hope these picks pay off! What do you think, Giants fans? Did I make the right choices?
