The New York Giants are gearing up for the 2026 NFL Draft, their first with John Harbaw calling shots in the war room. A recent PFF mock draft simulator shows General Manager Joe Schoam going heavy on defense, starting with Ohio State Linebacker sunny styles at the, number five, overall pick in round one. The team holds seven selections mostly later after some trades last year. They traded a third-rounder to Houston for quarterback Jackson Dart and picked up an extra six for Miami for Titan Darren Waller. Showing clear cap space by releasing veteran linebacker Bobby Ocarochi, the team's top tackler, setting up a clear need there. The Giants defense struggled badly against the run last season, ranking near the bottom league wide. Fans seem okay with styles as a replacement, given his 183 tackles over two college years. It shifts from expectations of an offensive

pick to protect art, but the linebacker hole was too big to ignore. Meanwhile, the secondary gets attention too, with possible free agency losses like quarterback Cordale Flot. In round two, a pick 37, they grab Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood, then add Miami offensive tackle Marquell Bell in round four at one. Hunter five, round five brings North Carolina cornerback, Thaddeus Dixon at 143, doubling down on defensive backs. Later six rounders include Cincinnati Wide Receiver Jeff Caldwell at 185 for speed, Washington cornerback Efe Prisok at one, 191, and Florida Edge rusher George Gums Jr. at 192. This defensive push fits Schoen's plan after a tough year. This episode is supported by our sponsor. Some people meditate. I just lay down and press play. S-O-L-L-I-SoliPillow.com.
