NFL prospects Giants could draft in Round 1 â and the vets theyâd push aside
With the 2026 NFL Draft set to begin Thursday night, letâs take a look at the prospects the Giants could pick in Round 1.
Weâll also examine how these prospects might push aside veterans already on the roster.
YOUâRE ON THE CLOCK: BUILD YOUR OWN NFL MOCK DRAFT
Weâre breaking this down by the Giantsâ positions of need, as they get ready to pick fifth and 10th (or maybe later, if they trade back).
WIDE RECEIVER
Prospects Giants could pick: Carnell Tate (Ohio State), Makai Lemon (USC), Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State), Omar Cooper (Indiana)
Who might go where: Tate is an option at No. 5. He likely wonât be there at No. 10. The Giants seemingly really like Tyson and could take him 10th. Would they go for him at No. 5, if Tate is gone (and maybe even if he isnât)? Lemon is an intriguing prospect, but he seems unlikely to land with the Giants. Cooper is an option only if the Giants trade back from 10th.
Impact on veterans: Darius Slayton is not the long-term answer opposite Malik Nabers (who, remember, is still recovering from a torn ACL). Slaytonâs limitations (mainly drops) have been clear for a while. If the Giants draft one of these four receivers in Round 1, that new guy would immediately push Slayton out of his starting job.
SECONDARY
Prospects Giants could pick: S Caleb Downs (Ohio State), CB Mansoor Delane (LSU)
Who might go where: It feels like Delane would be a reach at No. 5, even though he is widely considered this draftâs top cornerback. Downs is absolutely an option for the Giants at No. 5. He could very well be their pick at that spot. It would be a surprise if the Giants took a defensive back in Round 1 other than these two players, even if they trade back.
Impact on veterans: Tyler Nubin (2024 second-round pick) and Jevon Holland (big-money free agent addition in 2025) both struggled last season. Downs seemingly could be an upgrade from either player. He would take over for Nubin at the spot next to Holland. And remember, coach John Harbaugh didnât acquire Nubin or Holland.
As for cornerback, that spot remains a mess. Greg Newsome and Paulson Adebo arenât the long-term answers, with CorâDale Flott having left for a lucrative contract with the Titans. Harbaugh has no allegiance to Adebo. The coach/football czar just signed Newsome. Could Harbaugh wind up benching Adebo to start Delane opposite Newsome? Donât rule it out.
INSIDE LINEBACKER
Prospects Giants could pick: Sonny Styles (Ohio State), Arvell Reese (Ohio State)
Who might go where: Itâs highly unlikely either player falls to No. 10. Could both be gone by No. 5? Maybe. The Giants apparently arenât high on Styles. And Reese views himself as an edge rusher. The Giants are set at that position for now. Of course, Harbaugh could tell Reese heâs going to play a hybrid linebacker role next to Tremaine Edmunds.
Impact on veterans: Edmunds is the Giantsâ new (highly paid) middle linebacker. Micah McFadden is back on a one-year contract, but itâs not like heâs a proven starter. He would lose his job to Styles or Reese.
RUNNING BACK
Prospects Giants could pick: Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame)
Who might go where: He could go to Arizona at No. 3. But what if heâs there for the Giants at No. 5? That would present a fascinating choice for Harbaugh. There is little chance Love falls to No. 10.
Impact on veterans: If Harbaugh wants to make meaningful upgrades to his running back room, drafting Love is really the only way to do it. He is the clear-cut No. 1 back this year. Loveâs arrival probably would push Tyrone Tracy (and not Cam Skattebo) down the depth chart. Skattebo had an intriguing (albeit injury-shortened) rookie year, but heâs not yet a star.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Prospects Giants could pick: Francis Mauigoa (Miami), Vega Ioane (Penn State)
Who might go where: It would be a surprise if either went fifth. Both could still be available at No. 10. Thatâs entirely possible.
Impact on veterans: Left guard Jon Runyan is lucky he didnât get cut this offseason. The Giants have major issues at right guard. Does Harbaugh see Mauigoa as a guard, rather than a tackle? He needs to upgrade his interior offensive line if he wants to lean into a physical style.

Barcelona Face Lautaro Martinez âDeja Vuâ Amid Ongoing Pursuit Of Inter Milan Center-Back
La Liga giants Barcelona have identified Inter Milan long-serving stalwart Alessandro Bastoni as one of their top summer targets.
According to FCInterNews, the Blaugranaâs pursuit of the Italian center-back resembles their failed attempt to sign Lautaro Martinez six years ago.
Back in 2020, El Toro emerged as a concrete target for the Camp Nou outfit, but they didnât have the resources to secure his signature.
Despite reportedly striking a verbal agreement with the player, Barcelona lacked funds to match Interâs stratospheric âŹ111 million asking price.
As a result, Lautaro Martinez has stayed at San Siro, where he continues to write history.
Fast forward six years, and Barcelona are keen to lure the Argentineâs teammate, Alessandro Bastoni, away from Serie A.
Barcelona Face Lautaro âDeja Vuâ Amid Alessandro Bastoni Pursuit
Though Hansi Flick is genuinely interested in Bastoni, Barcelonaâs financial struggles make it nearly impossible for them to bring Inter to the negotiating table.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri have slapped a substantial âŹ70 million price tag on the 26-year-old and are reluctant to lower their claims.
Despite Bastoniâs alleged desire to leave Italy after a series of unfortunate events damaged his reputation, the Blaugrana cannot afford to meet Interâs valuation.
Therefore, Bastoni looks closer to staying at San Siro than moving to the Iberian Peninsula.
Barcelona to visit Getafe with holes in attack as it nears Spanish title
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) â Barcelona will visit Getafe in La Liga on Saturday probably without Lamine Yamal after he injured himself while scoring a penalty.
The 18-year-old Yamal secured the 1-0 win over Celta Vigo in La Liga on Wednesday but after his spot kick he immediately dropped to the ground and grabbed the back of his left leg. He was promptly substituted.
As of Thursday morning the club had yet to issue a medical report on his status.
Key matches
Barcelona holds a healthy nine-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid as the season enters its home stretch with six games remaining.
Madrid visits fifth-placed Real Betis on Friday needing a victory to maintain its options of catching the defending champion. Madrid will visit Barcelona in three rounds on May 10.
La Liga is the only chance either powerhouse has to finish the season with a major title after both were eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals last week.
âOur objective has to be to win all six matches, regardless of what Barcelona does," said Madrid coach Ălvaro Arbeloa, who replaced Xabi Alonso midseason and is most likely to be replaced this summer.
Atletico, which beat Barcelona to reach the final four of the Champions League, will most likely prioritize next weekâs semifinal against Arsenal over its domestic match against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.
Coach Diego Simeone is sure to rotate his squad and rest his best players for Wednesday's home game against Arsenal.
Villarreal hosts Celta on Sunday aiming to hold onto third place and the corresponding Champions League berth for next season.
Players to watch
With Yamal and attack partner Raphinha likely to be unavailable, coach Hansi Flick still has options to form his starting front line. They include forward Marcus Rashford, winger Roony Bardghji or even Dani Olmo, Gavi PaĂ©z or FermĂn LĂłpez shifting forward from the midfield.
Kylian MbappĂ© leads the league with 24 goals â three more than Mallorca's Vedat Muriqi â after he scored to help Madrid beat Alaves 2-1 on Tuesday. That broke a winless run of four games overall for Arbeloa's side.
Out of action
Besides Yamal, Barcelona will likely also be without right back Joao Cancelo after he was injured in the Celta win, too.
Madrid will be missing central defender Ăder MilitĂŁo and in-form midfielder Arda GĂŒler after the club said on Wednesday they both had muscle injuries.
