Round 1, No. 5: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State. The mock draft has Tyson, a physical receiver with elite ball skills and strong after-the-catch ability, landing in New York to give quarterback Jaxson Dart a reliable target opposite Malik Nabers. Nabers is coming back from a torn ACL, and Tyson would help stabilize the pass game alongside a veteran like Darius Slayton, who had limited productivity in 2025.
Round 2, No. 37: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas. The Giants’ run defense has been a recurring issue, and the mock suggests Hill as a high-upside addition in a potential linebacker-needy offseason. With Micah McFadden and Demmetrius Flannigan-Fowles potentially departing and Bobby Okereke entering free agency, Hill offers buy-low potential after injuries limited him in 2025.
Round 4, No. 105: Jaishawn Barham, EDGE, Michigan. Barham’s transition from inside linebacker to edge rusher as a senior highlighted a high ceiling but variable consistency. The mock notes Barham’s elite physical traits and pass-rush potential, presenting a low-risk, high-reward option for the Giants in the middle rounds, even if outside linebacking remains core long-term.
Round 5, No. 143: Hezekiah Masses, CB, California. Masses stands out as a Day Three option with a track record of production, including leading the nation with 18 passes defended and five interceptions in 2025. While concerns about physicality and athleticism persist, Masses’ Senior Bowl practices and ceiling could make him worth monitoring for depth at corner.
Round 6, No. 185: Jermaine Mathews Jr., CB, Ohio State. Mathews is an undersized, feisty cover man whose footwork and anticipation could translate well with continued development, though he announced he would return to OSU in 2026, limiting his immediate availability.
Round 6, No. 191: DJ Harvey, CB, USC. Harvey projects as a depth contributor with special teams value, having been a rotational defender and returner at multiple programs. His versatility could help the Giants’ secondary depth and coverage units.
Round 6, No. 192: Robert Henry Jr., RB, UTSA. Henry’s 30 rushing touchdowns over three college seasons illustrate his scoring nose. With existing backs and potential offseason cuts, Henry could be a late-round lottery ticket to add speed and explosiveness to the Giants’ backfield.
Overall, this PFF mock draft for the Giants emphasizes upgrading the receiving corps early, adding defensive and coverage depth, and sprinkling in late-round playmaking potential. While three months remain before the draft, the projections reflect the kinds of moves New York may pursue to address immediate needs and long-term resilience under Schoen and Harbaugh.
