0:00It's March 22nd. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. The New York Giants had a quiet free agency period, while settling in their new head coach, John Harbaugh. Their biggest moves this offseason will likely come in the 2026 NFL Draft, where they hold the number 5 overall pick. A recent PFF mock draft simulator run predicts they'll select Texas Tech Edge R Usher David Bailey there, a player with massive production including. 14.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss last season. That pick adds another strong pass rusher to a group already featuring Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, and Kavon Tivado. Bailey's NFL ready skills fit Harbaugh's preference for elite defenses, much like the Giants Super Bowl teams that stack the front. Still, some mock suggest alternatives like Ohio State White receiver Carnell Tate, or Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigua, if top tackles are. In round two at pick 37, the simulator has them grabbing Texas A and M wide receiver

1:02K.C. Concepcion, a versatile playmaker with nearly 1,000 scrimmageards and putt return touchdowns last year. He pair perfectly with Malig neighbors to give quarterback Jackson-Dar more weapons. Litter rounds feel other needs, like Penn State's Safety Zaky Wheatley in round four, for secondary death, Alabama defensive tackle Tim Keenan, the third, and round five as a runstuffer, behind Dexter Lawrence, and a trio of late round six picks, big wide receivers Chase Roberts from BYU and Aaron. Anderson from LSU, plus massive Alabama guard Jaden Roberts for the offensive line. This mock draft haul emphasizes speed on defense and multiple pass catching threats, setting up the Giants for contention if these prospects pan out.
