2026 New York Giants Mock Draft | The Trade Back!!!
Big Dash knows what. >> Hello and welcome to Big Dash knows. >> Big Dash knows what? >> New York Giants football. Let’s go. Shout out to everybody. You see the thumbnail. You absolutely see the thumbnail. Mockdraft 1.0. Doing things a little bit differently. You guys are going through the entire mockdraft with me. Fortunately enough for you guys, uh, you guys will be seeing the edited version. It won’t be like the whole hour it takes me to actually do mock drafts. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I really, you know, go into deep thoughts and deep details and processing of where I think the New York Giants are going to go in these mock drafts. Obviously, don’t know who the next coach is going to be. Don’t know who the possible GM might be. Um, don’t know what free agency is going to look like to address some of these holes as well. Just right now, it’s the day before uh the week 16 matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants. Just giving you guys a time stamp of when this mock draft was done and then of course we going to get into get into this. So, let me go ahead and just bear with me. Let me go ahead and get the screen pulled up here. All right. And then you guys see it here. Actually, let me change things up a little bit. Let me see. I want to All right. We’re going to do it this way. We’re going to do it this way. So, obviously I’m doing a full full round mock. It’s going to be all seven rounds. New York Giants. Um, obviously have pick number one. I’m not going to mess with the with the scales at all. Let me go ahead and zoom that in a little bit. I’m not going to mess with the scales at all. Uh, I will be entertaining trades though for sure. That’s probably that’s probably what’s going to take the most time. Let’s get right into this. And hopefully the audio is good in this. I want to make sure everything is right. So, first off, again, New York Giants have the first overall pick. There uh there’s no doubt in my mind that the New York Giants, if we land the number one pick, [music] that we’re that we’re uh not going to trade. There’s I mean that we are going to trade. There’s no doubt in my mind that we are going to trade this pick for hopefully a hall. So, let’s go ahead and get this thing going. All right. So, let’s see what we’re going to do here. We got five trade offers off the bat. We have the Cleveland Browns. Um, I already like that deal because we can most likely get two for uh two for one here. Two for one and a little bit more most likely. Uh, let’s see who else is offering though. You got the Jets at five and you have Okay, so let’s see now. So the the Browns. So I’m I’m either dealing with the Jets or the Browns. The Browns have four number four and 28. Let’s see what the Jets have. Jets have 58 and 37. Let’s see what we can do here. Can I get five and 18? Let’s see if I can get five and 18. Five 18 um for pick number one. And let’s see if I can get next year’s one, too. Let’s see if I can get You think we Let’s see. Wow. It’s It’s a mock draft. Let’s see if we can get this pulled off. There it is. Bang. I should have asked for a little bit more. I definitely should have asked for a little bit more, but I’m being quick. So, let’s see what happens here. So, um so right now we got three number one picks for one. That’s probably going to get it done in my opinion. And I’m a I’m absolutely satisfied with that. So let’s see what happens. We drop down to five. We drop down to five. Caleb DS is still on the board. You got Ruben Bane, Jordan Tyson, Peter Woods, Carell Tate. Now we have our picture now. 518 33 and 101. So let’s see what other trades do we want to trade. Do we want to take the chance and trade back again? That’s the question. Commanders are sitting there offering a trade. I don’t want to deal with the Commanders cuz they’re most likely going to pick Caleb DS. They’re most likely going to pick Caleb Downs. Do I want to deal with that? Probably not. Probably not. So, let’s go ahead and see who else is offering. You got Cincinnati Bengals at nine. They got nine and 41. Do I want to drop back that far, too? Cuz I already I would have their nine. Maybe I get their nine, their 41. Let’s see. We can We can be a little bit greedy here, right? May Maybe we try to be a little bit greedy. Take their nine. Take their 41. or five. Right now, that’s a 77% chance of us getting that deal. Do I want to add one? If I add one, nope, it’s off the board. Makes sense. Do I get next year’s two? Doesn’t make sense. Okay, let me try 73. That drops me down to 27. That gives me something in the third round, though. And the third round is very, very important in this draft to me. So, let’s see if they take that deal. They take that deal. Okay. So, right now the Giants have a little bit of a haul. Let’s see where Let’s see where Caleb DS went. Possibly. Caleb DS did go to the Bengals. Okay, he’s not in my division. I don’t have to worry about him with the Washington Commanders. But look what the Washington Commanders do. The Washington Commanders take uh Sunny Styles, which is a person that I’ve been trying to target for forever. But it is what it is. We can deal with that. We can deal with that because right now the New York Giants have pick number nine, 18, 33, 41, and 73. These are all and also we have a firstrounder in next year’s draft um from the fir from the very first trade. So we we going this is what we’re going to work with now. This is what we’re going to work with. You got Ruben Bane here. You got Carnell Tate and you also have Malay Lemon. So for me, the decision is between whether I like Carnell Tate more or if I like Mai Lemon more. And the one thing I want to think about right now is what role is this wide receiver going to play? A lot of people say we just need a sidekick to um to Malik Neighbors. But what if Malik Neighbors is not playing? Can Carnell Tate be that 1A or 1B to Malik Neighbors? or can Mai Lemon give you I like Mai Lemon a lot. This is a tougher decision than I thought. I do like what Caro Tate brings when you also have Malik Neighbors on the field. And if Malik Neighbors is not on the field, Carninal Tate can also step up as well. We’ve seen that, you know, at at Ohio State. Big body, wide receiver. We’ll see here. 6’3″, 195. I would love him to be over 200 lb, but it is what it is. But 6’3 can’t teach that. Mai Lemon very very explosive. Ballet winner. Um not the tallest 5’11 195 but he almost gives you exactly what Malik Neighbors gives you. That versatility of from the from the inside out. Can play slot can play on the outside. Fantastic after the run. Just a flatout playmaker. So I’m really stuck here in this decision making. I’m really stuck in the decision-m. I want to know in the comment section which way would you have gone as far as Carnell Tate and Mine Limit? This is future dash talking to you because I’ve already made the pick. Um, so Carnell Tater to Mia Lemon. I’m actually leaning more Mai Lemon if I’m if I’m being honest here because I don’t know what Malik Neighbors is going to look like coming back. Is he going to be 100%. Is he not going to How long is it going to take him to look like Malik Neighbors? And Mai Lemon should be ready from jump. But I’m still taking Carnell Tate. Still going to take Carell Tate here. Let’s move on to the 18th pick. All right. With Sunny Styles gone, I’m still looking for a linebacker. No Val Ree picking at 18. Now you got Catches How, who is a fantastic edge rusher, but if you pick him, he’s going to be the starter. And you already got Brian Burns and Abdul Carter and uh Kavon Tibido. So, I’m not I’m not going to go that route this early for another edge. Denzel Boston not double dipping at wide receiver this fast. Not going to do that. But look at this right here. Kaden McDonald is available. Uh you also got T.J. Parker, too. Again, we’re not going um you know, edge rusher this soon, but Avon Terrell corn top cornerback spot right here. This is a perfect spot to take Avon Terrell, brother of AJ Terrell. Um again, let’s look at some of these some of these scores, right? Uh coverage grade 76, run defensive grade 86. You see his grades overall, man. Coverage grade is there. Solid solid quarterback prospect. Um 5’11, 180. doesn’t have the weight that you really want, but he but uh definitely has enough size to play. Again, not one of those 6’1, 6’2 quarterbacks. So, just certain things you want to think about. Avon Terrell is high on this list right now for me. Um Kenyan Sadik is that tight end, uh is that is that pass catching tight end that you possibly want to add, you know, to the mix, what we got right now. But, um we do have Theo Johnson who’s progressing. Um we might not get Daniel Bellinger back, but [music] and we also don’t know what um what Fedonia is looking like right now. So, right now, Avon Terrell is looking like the front runner for the 18th pick for me. But there are some sleepers here. We do have a guard here from um from Penn State. High level guard here, plugandplay guard, starter right away. Um can be that guy to replace Greg Van Roen right away. If you like him more on the left side, he can replace Renan or switch make you can switch Renion right away. So, that’s that’s definitely tempting. So, we got Avon Terrell. Uh we got the uh guard from Penn State. I can’t even pronounce like Iioni, something like that. And then you got Kada McDonald, also from um Ohio State. Now, he is a solid defensive tackle prospect. [music] This is what you’re looking for to beef up that um that defensive line. You see the pass rush grade, I’m sorry, not the pass rush grade, but the run defensive grade of 92.2. Fantastic to have. Big body, big body guy. 6’3, 326 pounds, and can move pretty well for his size. Um you know, not just not just a a gap plugger. he can actually get you some production uh on that side. So, he actually moves in front of Avon Terrell in my opinion. Let’s see what else we got. I don’t want to drop back too far because I want to keep the value, you know, pretty high. But between Kayen McDaniel, the quarterback here, there are some other quarterbacks that I like that I could get in that 41 range. We’ll see what happens. But right now, I think I’m going to take Man, that’s hard. Do I take Terrell here? Also, let’s see what other trade options we have actually. So, I’m not I don’t want to drop back to 26. Yeah, I don’t want to do that. We got four four different people trying to trade. 35 is too far. 43 is too far. Not going to do that. Let’s go back to draft a player. So, I’m curious to see where you guys want to go here. Avon Terrell, again, not the the ideal size that you want, especially in the division, but has all those skills that you want for a quarterback. And right now, the New York Giants are in need, absolute need of a quarterback opposite of um Pulse and Adibbo. We don’t know what’s going to happen with Flat and them also some some help on the defensive line. What’s the main thing that you hate with the New York Giants not being able to stop the run? So, with that being said, I’m going to keep it simple. With that being said, I’m taking Kayen McDonald here. There’s some other guard and tackle prospects that I might get later. All right. So, look how God works for the New York Giants, especially in this mock draft. There’s there’s certain blessings that just happen and and and and you just know it when you see it. And it is CJ Allen still being available at the top of the second round. I’m not even messing around or playing around. I’m taking CJ Allen. We need that type of linebacker in the building. Boom. Sometimes God just works things out. No need to overthink things. All right. So, right now, let’s just review our picks. So far, we got Carnell Tape. We got Kayen McDonald. We got CJ Allen. So, we addressed two levels of the defense. Um, we still need to figure out who the corner is going to be, possible safety, and you know, stuff like that. But guess what? I’m I’m lucky again because there’s another blessing. Back to back to backto back blessings. Um, Keith Abney. I don’t know how many people know who Keith Abney is. Cornerback out of Arizona State. Aggressive, fast, ball skills, has all of that. Did I say aggressive? Did I Did I say aggressive? That’s exactly what he is. So, let’s just go and just look into the um into the tape a little bit for Keith Abney. 6’1 190 pounds. That’s perfect for me. Per perfect for me. Perfect for me. Again, if you have not seen any clips, I’m pretty sure there’s highlights um on YouTube for the people that just want to look at highlights. Look up Keith Abney. There’s probably a ton of a ton of highlights out there for him. Trash talker, aggressive, will come up and hit somebody. Exactly what we need in the division. exactly what we need for the New York Giants now because we don’t hit at all. We don’t hit at all. So, Keith Abney, top of my list right now. Like him better than AJ Harris, even though AJ Harris has that prototype, a prototypical size that you’re looking for. Um, so there’s some other wide receiver options as well. We got Anthony Hill here as well, too. But we just took um the linebacker CJ Allen. I’m going I’m not even going to mess around. I’m going with Keith Abney in this spot right now. So far so good. We are addressing the defense, but what about the O line dash, but what about the We going to figure it out. We going to figure out. We got some picks in the range that I think’ll be perfect for some offensive line prospects. Again, let’s review the picks that we have. Carnell Tate, Kayen McDonald, CJ Allen, Keith Abney. Right now, for me, I’m knocking it out of the park in my opinion. I’m a little bit biased, but in my opinion, I am knocking this draft out of the park with just the first four picks. It is what it is. again, making some GM moves, trading back, getting a boat, a load of picks. That’s exactly what you want to try to do. All right, so um Dominic Orange is a good prospect here. I’m not going to lie, but I already took Kaden McDonald, even though Dominic Orange can give you more of that three technique type of uh play. Um let’s see what else we got here. Again, the needs are wide receiver, well, we checked that. Um guard didn’t check that. Tackle didn’t check that. Cornerback checked that. So, I’m still looking for um offensive line help. So, let’s go ahead and filter down this search. Let’s go offensive tackle. Let’s go interior as well to try to narrow down this search. So, let’s see some of the best pro prospects we have. Blake Miller tackle. I’m not too fond of Blake Miller to be honest. Uh have not figured out why as much. Just doesn’t wow [music] me. Solid prospect though at the end of the day. Solid prospect. You see the run blocking grade 72, pass blocking grade 80. gives you that versatility of being a guard or tackle. Um, as well, I like him I like him more as a tackle. Some people might like him more as a guard. It is what it is. Um, not everybody agrees to see players see players the same. Uh, it is what it is. But this is a guy that I’m looking for and obviously I can wait a little bit to try to draft him. Brian Parker is a guy that I’ve been eyeballing um, as he’s a right tackle now for Duke. He’s projected as being a guard playing on that right side. What do the New York Giants need? We need to find a replacement for Greg Van Roen. Um, we also possibly might need to find a a U replacement for Germaine Aluminor if we can’t find enough money to get him back. But he’s a guy that I’m going to be targeting around that 101 range. So, I’m going to leave that alone for right now. I’m going to see I’m I’m I’m going to I’m going to sit back and wait for offensive line still. I know it’s risky, but I also like Kaden Green who can also be in that uh in that range as well. So, let’s try to find the best player available in the third round. Again, we didn’t have a third round to begin with. We have one now. Let’s see what we can do with that. Um, Eli, some of some of the tight ends here. Michael Trigg is here. Eli Storage is here. Um, I like Derek Moore a lot as an edge option. Who’s going to be that fourth edge for the Giants in 2026? We do not know. Um, Skyler Bell, sneaky, sneaky wide receiver prospect out of Connecticut. Jim Moira guy, um, coached up very well. Jake Golday is another linebacker option, too. pairing Gold Day up with CJ Allen. That takes care of your linebacker spot right now. Those will be your your your day one uh Mike and Sam linebackers would be CJ Allen and and Jake Gold Day. Again, we don’t know what’s going to happen with Bobby O’ Carrick K with all that money he’s uh he’s guaranteed um versus saving some money. Cap hit 14 million. Um you save 9 million if you cut him with the kind of production that he’s having. even though there’s a push for him to be a um pro bowler, we we just don’t know as far as he’s not flashing the way that Giants fans wanted him to flash, but the production in all honesty, tackles and stuff like that, the production is there, [music] but if you know, you know. Uh Jake Gold again, another another prospect out of Cincinnati running tackle uh type of um linebacker. Exactly what we’re looking for. Not giving you too much in the pass rush game. Um but it is what it is. It is [music] what it is. Um so, let’s see. I didn’t go safety earlier. There is a safety prospect that I like here out of Toledo. Do you trust the smaller school guys? Possibly. Maybe, maybe not. Um but look at the coverage grade 91. Run defensive grade is a 90. The guy and look at the the constant uh production or progression in his um in his overall grades. He started off with 86, dropped back a little bit to 83. Uh but also you see that not as many games were being played. And then in 2025, this year games played 12. You you see the production. Um, now let’s look at uh the tape. 6’2, 202 lbs. Again, just think of a playmaking allaround. Everything you need safety. Again, coming from a smaller school is Toledo. But guess what? We just took um we just uh tried our luck with Darius Alexander, and it seems like we did make the right pick with Darius Alexander. So, for me, I’m thinking safety here possibly. He’s probably going to be the first guy on my list. Um, just going down Omar Cooper’s here, too. If you really need wide receiver help as a New York Giant, if you really need wide receiver help, why not double dip this draft? And Omar Cooper would be a solid pick to develop in the slot for the New York Giants. Just think right now, right now, the way things are, the way things are set. You don’t know if Juan Del Robinson is coming back. You got Malik Neighbors coming back off an injury. Who knows when he’s going to be 100% again, right? I just drafted Carnell Tate. The only person that we absolutely have on the roster is Darius Sllayton. You might need a little bit of help. You have also have Jaylen Hyatt, but right now Jaylen Hyatt is is skating on the thinnest of ice. Um the cap hit is not anything crazy. You might want to just cut, you know, cut bait and and it is what it is with with Jaylen Hyde, but you also need to find that replacement. I would bring back um Isaiah Hajins. I absolutely would bring back Isaiah Hajin at least for the for the 90man roster and for training camp and he has a possibility of making the team. At least I would, you know, [music] sign him to be on the team. But Omar Cooper right here is a fantastic pick in my opinion. But again, what are we what what are we crying about is our defense and guys not being able to make plays. And I can’t I really can’t I really can’t I can’t do it. I can’t go past the safety prospect here. As much as I like these other I’m I’m taking I’m taking Emanuel McNeel Warren at this spot right here. It is what it is. We’ll see what the PFF grade is at the end. So for me in in my simple mind, right, I’ve addressed the defense at all three levels. Defensive line, linebacker, and also the secondary. You see it only took one w offensive prospect or um draft pick this whole draft so far. This whole mock draft. Carell Tate, Kada McDonald, CJ Allen, Keith Abney. I’ve addressed all levels of the defense for the rest of this draft, depending on where it’s at. Best player available, need meets value, where I think the Giants should be doing. Needs meets value. Um, I probably go offense the rest of this draft [music] in all honesty. And starting with the guy that I was eyeballing earlier, Brian Parker here at 101 can give you the right tackle spot. Also being projected as a better guard in the NFL. And what the Giants need both of those. Going with Brian Parker here. um tackle out of Duke. So, the next pick, a little bit of a drop all the way down to 140. All right, so we’re at 140, our only uh only pick in the fifth round. Again, I’m looking for best player available possibly, right? Uh I do think that the New York Giants do need to add a running back at some point in this draft to add to this stable. Uh we don’t know exactly what uh Cam Scataboo is going to look like, even though he’s already walking now with the Wolverine healing ability. I like Justin Haynes out of Michigan. Cold weather running back, right? Out of Michigan. I like the size as well. 5’11, 210 lbs. Bulky, right? Bulky guy. Let’s see what happens. We got who else? Jaylen Strowman is a good safety prospect. Um here’s a sleeper right here. Here’s this is almost like a Terion Stewart is almost like a Cam Scataboo 2.0 in my opinion. um just a little bit le doesn’t give you the the receiving value of a Cam Scatable, but being able to run hard in between the tackles. Terion Stewart is that if you have not had a chance to see Terion Stewart, I suggest you go ahead and um you know, Google him or either look him up on YouTube after watching this video, but Terion Stewart is an absolute player for sure. I like Keelin Rut as well. Again, we’re picking at 140. Bulking up that offensive line, getting some offensive line depth is very, very important to me. DJ Campbell is also available. Actually, let me take a look at the DJ Campbell real quick. Texas prospect. You already know what’s going to happen. 6’3, 321 lbs. The guy’s a guard, a guard, a guard for sure. A guard guard, right? Familiar. We’re playing mostly on the right side. Actually, only on the right side. You see it here. Now, Renan is Renan, but we also need some help. We uh Zudo most likely does not get brought back. And who else is there after that? I believe we only have what, three offensive linemen, maybe four offensive linemen that are that have contracts in 2026. Let me think. You got Thomas, you got Renan, you got Bo, you got Andrew Hudson, you got JM. So, you got five five linemen, four really, and James Hudson who might possibly get cut. We’ll see what happens. So, you definitely need some additional help on that offensive line. This is a good spot to pick him. So, I want to go with DJ Campbell or do I want to do go with Keelin Rutled? That’s the question. What What do I want to do? I like Keelin Rutled a lot. Big body guard though. Big body guard for sure. Played in the ACC. Um, you see him 6’4, 330 lbs. Big big boy. Big boy for sure. Polls. Um, let’s see. Do I want the competition from the SEC or do I want, you know, just the ACC guard? We’ll see what I’m I probably go with DJ Campbell here. Let’s see. I really like Rutled though. Let’s take a look again. Rage overall a 76. Let’s look at uh DJ Campbell is a 74 with a 76 pass grade. Zone grade. Let’s see what the who has the better run [music] grade is 74. So 72 for Campbell actually overall. Uh is is is a 76 overall with the 80 and a 76 zone grade run, but I’m going Keynette. And he played on the right side. So I’m going I’m going I’m going Keelin Rage here. Not going to go with the highest ranked guy on the PFF. Gonna go with who I like more. It’s going to be Kellen Rutled here. So, all right. Let’s review this again. Right. We’re going to review this again. Carnell Tate, Kayen McDonald, CJ Allen, Keith Abney, Emanuel McNeel Warren, Brian Parker, Keelin Rutled. [music] Okay, so we got our last three picks all in the sixth round, right? And then it comes a time where you think, “Okay, what what should I do as far as the quarterback position?” I got I got Jackson Dart, who I believe is going to be the franchise quarterback moving forward, but I also know he possibly won’t be able to give you all 17 games. I got Jameus Winston as a solid backup. Absolutely. But I only have Jameus Winston for one more year. [music] Where is my security after that? when you see a guy like Trinidad Chamblas here, right, which I don’t even believe he’s going to be here. He’s looking, he’s trying to file for an extra year of of um eligibility because he did come from a um from D2 school, Trinidad Chambers did, and this is only his first year with Old Miss. Um he he he’s probably not going to be he’s probably going to be higher uh ranked a lot higher by the time we get to um uh April if he’s not going back for another year at Old Miss. [music] So, I don’t believe he’ll be a real option. But to me, in the sixth round, Trinidad Shameless develop him as a backup quarterback to Jackson Dart because guess what? Everything that Jackson Dart does and is known for, Trinidad pretty much has the same skill set as Jackson Dart. So, you’re not really having to change your defense, I’m sorry, your offense uh uh scheme up too much depending on who your backup quarterback is. But again, I don’t think he’s actually going to even be there. Um, Takario Davis, one of those big body w um, big body quarterbacks that I’ve been that you know that you kind of look for. Again, I believe they had him listed at like 6’4 last year cuz he was a guy that was a prospect last year that went back to school. He was actually at Arizona and then transferred to Washington. Yeah. 6’4, 200 lb. Do you want to take a chance there? Aggressive. Very aggressive as as a quarterback. U might have some issues with some penalties, but again, it’s what you kind of what you’re looking for, especially in the sixth round. But I also like Logan Jones here, too. to a backup to JMS. So, I went with the I went with the tackle/guard. I got a definite guard. Do I look at Logan Jones as a backup center? Possibly a guy that could could actually beat out um JMSs, you know, in the near future, too. So, do I do that or do I go with another quarterback spot? For me, what am I going to say? I want to keep Jackson Dart upright. I’m going with Logan Jones in this spot here. And I’m crossing my fingers to see that Takario Davis is still going to be there, you know, 12 picks later. I doubt it, though. Let’s see what happens. So, Logan Jones is there. Takario Davis is still there. So, that’s a no-brainer to me. This late in the draft, I’m going with Takario Davis. Need more quarterbacks, more quality quarterbacks, you know, in our secondary. Any Somebody has to Somebody has to end up working out. Somebody has to end up working out in my opinion. So, I’m going to go with Takario Davis here. Trinidad Chamblas is still here, too. That’s just funny. Maybe if he’s there again, it’s it’s absolutely rigged and I’ll just take him as a developmental quarterback possibly. Maybe. And he’s absolutely still there. So, just let’s just do a quick review again. We we attacked all the needs that were listed. Wide receiver, guard, tackle, cornerback. We got Carninal Tate, we got uh Keith Abney, and we have um uh Brian Parker and Keelen Rutless. All all those guys um pretty much satisfy the needs that PFF has for the Giants. The PFF needs for the Giants. But as us as Giants fans know, we need defensive line help. Did that with Kayen McDonald. We need definitely need linebacker help. Did that with CJ Allen. So, you know what? This is looking like a pretty good draft right now. Question is, do you want another wide receiver? Cuz I see another wide receiver that I’m probably going to draft right now. um after addressing you know three spots on offensive line that guy is Kevin Coleman versatile wide receiver can play inside and out more inside and I believe that’s what the New York Giants need to add additionally because we don’t know what’s happened to Wel Robinson I also like Cage Casey as offensive line some people say Dash you still haven’t picked up a running back guess what what am I going to say about running backs especially this late in the draft dime a dozen UDFs you can probably get one here I think I’m going to take Kevin Coleman right there unless I see somebody else that I might want to take. I address safety already cuz Bud Clark would be a good spot. Um a sleeper for a a safety spot as well, but I like Kevin Coleman here. I think that’s I’m going to go with Kevin Coleman here. Yep. So, here we are. Let’s see what the grade is going to be. [laughter] Analyzing the draft. Let’s see how we did on the first one. First mock draft of the 2026 season. That’s really not the 2026 season. Let’s see how we did. So, uh, no suggestions, so that’s good. Again, we made we made two trades, traded back twice before taking our first pick. So, we uh the first trade, let’s go over it. The first trade um we traded I’m sorry. Yeah, we got back the fifth, the 18th, and a next year um one um given the Jets are overall the number one overall pick most likely uh Mendoza. And then I traded back again from um from five to nine with the Cincinnati Bengals. They got five, but then we got their we got the nine, their first round, second round, and third round pick. And let’s see what that turned into. Again, Carnell Tate gave you an A. Kada McDonald gave you a C, which it is what it is, but I’ll take that. Uh CJ Allen C++. Keith Abney a B+. Emanuel McNeil Warren C minus. Got to check the tape on there. Check the check the Carfax. Uh, we also got Brian Parker, which I think is going to be a not a steal, but a solid pick that can possibly be a plug-and-play guy day one. Keelin Rutled, Logan Jones backing up JMS. Takario Davis gave us a A+ cornerback out of Washington, 6’4, 200 lb. Definitely can use that. And then also Kevin Coleman gave us a B+ for overall grade of an A for the 2026 mock draft. So, let me go ahead and close this thing out. All right. And there we have it. So, man, let me know how you guys feel about this, man. Let me know how you guys feel about this draft. Um, again, the first one of the of the 2026 season, even though it’s still 2025. Um, but let me know in the comment section what you would have done differently. Um, do you agree with the picks? Do you not agree with the picks? And yeah. [music] Yeah. Can’t wait to see the comments. But with that being said, I want to thank everybody for vibing with me. Please like, comment, and subscribe. And from one Giants fan to another, this is Big Dash knows Big Blue Nation. Let’s go. >> [music]

I would've drafted a kicker
Yea but McDonald had good linebackers
Don’t force the pick
Man after 4 tomorrow we might be seeing the battle for the number 1 pick 😮😮at this point just build this team up and I'm for wins but this season just needs to end
Love the Allen pick !!!
Can abney turn his head around lol
The way the simulation falls its defense all the way lmao
I like World big in the run game
I wouldn’t have took McDonald you done messed it all up lmao
I like Downs at 5 , what do you guys think?
These trades look my madden franchise mode back in the day😂. No way it’s that easy & even if it is, no way the Giants get it done lol. & no matter what u said in previous vids, There was never a doubt in my mind. I knew u couldn’t not do a mock draft 😂
we need to draft TE Oscar Delp in round 4 or 5. remember him.
Let's go Big D! PAUSE. 😂
Losing out on Downs and Styles hurt but getting those extra picks was important. Beefing up the defensive and offensive lines was key!! One of the better Giants drafts I’ve seen. Waiting for the next one!!
Great mock draft, my mocks be looking similar so we're definitely the same path, I hope the front office is too, maybe with one those 6rd picks we take kicker from Michigan. 👍🏾👍🏾
we need that haul from the Jets.. pick 5,18, and their 2nd rounder.. gotta take Downs and Styles in the 1st round.. I'm absolutely NOT ok with any of these 2 guys going to Was or Dallas.. I'm a big NO for taking a WR in the 1st round offense wasn't our problem this season defense definitely was let's bring back Gmen football tired of seeing this defense not being able to get off the field on 3rd downs!!!
I would definitely sign up for this draft. 🗽🔵
The reason we can trade back is because Schoen already filled the premium positions-QB, WR1, OTs, Edges
Assume we beat Vegas and draft 3rd again
Do we really want to get rid of the guy who drafted 3rd last year and got Carter, Dart & Scattebo?!?
Dash-your draft sounds great but half these guys will be busts for whatever reason. That’s the draft. There are no guarantees
Schoen got 16 or so starters in 4 years. He’s averaging 4 a draft
That allows us to control the cap, cherry pick FAs, and trade down
Give him one more year
Trade dart to the jets . Draft Mendoza.
I would rather have a Pocket passer than a runner of the football when it comes to my Franchise QB. Unfortunately giants fans do not learn they are basically lil Joe Schoen minions that repeat the SAME MISTAKES OVER & OVER AGAIN!.
I love everything especially the trades but what about a kicker somewhere in those picks🫡
Big Dash knows how to draft!!
I can't wait until we stack talent then filling holes
Hopefully next year we will be talking playoff matchups.
But I liked your 1.0 draft, Big Dash. Maybe look for a kicker in the 2.0. Lol
Nice draft Dash. Can you do a draft where we draft Mendoza? Dart, can’t throw past 10 yards, check the pass chart & Dart caused Nabers injury check the tape.
You almost lost me with the first pick
BigDash thanks for the Mock draft, I have to look at your last year mock to see how the picks came out 😊
Tate it’s easy decision
Looks good to me but Im not big on college football. I try to catch up by draft.
Im taking Lemon also he can run great routes and we’re going to need a bonafide slot I’m not paying Wan’dale what he’s going to get on the open market 🤷♂️
Kicker
U won’t get that many first round picks back in this years draft not enough talent to give up 3 first for, you might get 2 first and a second most and that’s most probably even less
Awesome draft, BDK.
So with the trade down I have been mocked to have 5 and 18 36 and both ind and dal 1st in 27 on pff I have taken it and then traded 18 dal1st and pick 36 for there pick 6 and drafted both downs and Tyson and or downs and Tate it’s hypothetical but I’d love the aggressive move by Joe getting two studs like that in the first round
BIGDASH you were better than Joe Schoen. You wanted Orande Gadson and you tried to help Dexter Lawrence with two DT. He still needs help
Whoever they take i hope it's the right picks I just hope joe shoen isn't the one making them
Why are we waiting so long to draft in Old line
Trade down two time 's
don't be afraid to get the best talent regardless of position, this team needs all the talent they can get, but overall good draft bother.
Logan Jones ain’t no backup to JMS 😂
I'm going with Mendoza at one if I'm the Giants. I'm not convinced about Dart's ability to stay healthy.
I can't see the Giants and Jets doing a deal unless the Giants are blown away. Browns are more likely.
We need height at wide receiver Carnell Tate is the only right choice
Nah giants need for sure out of this draft a solid line backer are defense looks so bad because the linebackers won’t fill games and are slow asf in open space
I’m going Carnell Tate
I went back a year in the videos, and there was no grey in your beard. This season has been rough.
I would have definitely went OG instead of DT early. This class is loaded DT
Skyler bell runs like he left a diddy party 🤣 mad stiff. Makai lemon is more explosive than Tate, Sadiq, Lemon, Nabers, skatt, and Johnson! Who stopping that? We have talent on defense. Think it’s just a scheme and coaching thing. Great draft tho my boy
