DAY 2Round 2, pick No. 37: CB, Colton Hood (Tennessee)

The Giants needed help in the secondary and got their guy in Hood.

The five-foot-11 had 50 tackles (34 solo) playing for Tennessee. He made one interception, forced a fumble and recovered one. Hood also had eight passes defended in 2025. The year prior, Hood made 24 tackles with Colorado, having six passes defended and two interceptions.

After GM Joe Schoen and John Harbaugh grabbed edge Arvell Reese in the first round to shore up the defensive line, they now addressed a part of their secondary.

Round 3, pick No. 74: WR, Malachi Fields (Notre Dame)

The Giants did not originally have a third-round pick entering Friday, but Big Blue traded with the Browns. The Giants sent Cleveland picks 105, 145 along with a 2027 fourth-round pick, to select Fields.

Fields stands out with his 6-foot-4 size. Fields averaged 17.5 yards per catch last season, to go along with 630 yards and five receiving touchdowns in his lone season with Notre Dame. In his previous two seasons with Virginia, Fields had 811 and 808 yards receiving.

DAY 1Pick No. 5: Arvell Reese

This draft is among the more unique ones in recent memory. There aren't any no-doubt, blue-chip prospects anywhere. You can actually make the argument that the three best are those who play non-premium positions (Running backJeremiyah Love, safetyCaleb Downsand linebackerSonny Styles).

What the Giants get in Reese is the player with the most upside, though. The stats don't blow you away (10.5 tackles for a loss, 6.5 sacks in 2025), but his film shows his all-world potential. The speed, bend and athleticism are that of a player who might one day be among the best edge rushers in the NFL -Micah Parsons-like.

Reese won't be that in 2026. That doesn't mean he won't contribute, though. He'll do a bit of everything as the team works to refine his pass rushing: Put his hand in the dirt and rush, play off-ball backer, cover, then rush the middle. Defensive coordinatorDennard Wilsonwill have fun with this one.

Pick No. 10: Francis Mauigoa

The Giants went into the NFL Draft wanting to get a defender and help forJaxson Dart. They got the first in linebackerReese, who fell to them at No. 5. Then they looped back around and got Mauigoaat No. 10.

The perfect situation for the Giants would have been a receiver. There are some questions regardingMalik Nabers' readiness for Week 1.Carnell TateandJordyn Tysonboth went before No. 10, though, so New York pivoted.

Mauigoa, a tackle at Miami, expects to play guard with the Giants. He'll complete an offensive line that includesAndrew Thomas,Jon Runyan,John Michael SchmitzandJermaine Eluemunor.
