Giants Trade Down, Draft OL Proctor in Mock Draft

On April 1st, the 2026 NFL draft is less than a month away, starting round one in Pittsburgh,

and all eyes are on the New York Giants ad. The number five pick. They've got roster holes

everywhere after free agency, especially on the offensive line and defensive front.

But they're short on picks too, with just two in the top 100 in no third rounders

after trading up for quarterback Jackson Dart last year. A fresh mod draft from Fox Sports

analyst Rob Braing shakes things up, having the Giants trade down from five to eleven with

the Miami Dolphins who jump up for a top wide receiver like Ohio State's Carnail Tate to boost

their offense. In return, the Giants snag Miami's first rounder, which they use on massive Alabama

offensive lineman, Kate Improctor, a 6-foot 7-300. 52-pound beast who's polarizing but projects

as a long-term starter, plus two of the Dolphins third round picks. Fans and analysts see this as

smart, because Proctor Fitz coach John Harbaugh's big line style perfectly, and it lets them grab him

later while. Stocking up on mid-round talent where they were empty-handed, using pressure on general

manager Joe Shone to find Jim's late. With Shone learning from pass drafts and Harbaugh's track record

of spotting talent, this kind of move could pile up the pieces they need to contend. Next season,

without forcing a reach at five. You've been listening to NFL News Today, AI Powered Football
