The New York Giants hold the fifth overall selection in the 2026 NFL draft, and no matter which direction they decide to go, they will end up with a potential stud.
That’s what happens when you finish with a 4-13 record. You get rewarded. And, if the folks at Pro Football Focus are right in their latest mock draft, Big Blue will end up with a top-end wide receiver to pair with Malik Nabers and quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Wan’Dale Robinson is slated to hit free agency after recording his first 1,000-yard season, leaving the Giants in need of another dynamic weapon to pair with Malik Nabers on the outside. Jordyn Tyson brings some injury concerns, but he has posted a receiving grade of at least 83.0 in each of his past two seasons at Arizona State.
Nabers is currently rehabbing from a torn ACL, and his return to duty is still in question. He will likely enter training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and could miss the early part of the 2026 regular season.
Robinson will be an unrestricted free agent come March, and the Giants are surely going to have company when it comes to signing him. Robinson has become a top 15 wide receiver over the past two seasons and will demand a decent-sized contract.
