Early projections for whom the New York Giants<\/a> will select in the first round of the 2027 NFL draft have begun to surface.<\/p>\n

In a way-too-early mock draft by Sports Illustrated\u2019s Dan Flick<\/a>, the Giants are projected to select Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams with the No. 10 overall pick in next year’s draft.<\/p>\n

New York<\/a> expressed considerable interest in Jordyn Tyson during the 2026 draft process but didn\u2019t take a receiver until Malachi Fields<\/a> in the third round. The Giants still need more playmakers to complement Malik Nabers<\/a>, and Coleman-Williams is nothing if not exciting. Though he had a bit of a disappointing sophomore season, the 6′ 0″, 178-pound receiver is fast, explosive and has tremendous body control. Drops and consistency have been issues, but Coleman-Williams is an impressive run-after-catch weapon with big-time playmaking capabilities.<\/p>\n

Coleman-Williams recorded 689 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns in 2025 at Alabama. As a freshman in 2024, he posted 865 receiving yards.<\/p>\n

The Giants addressed their need for a wide receiver this offseason by selecting Notre Dame\u2019s Malachi Fields with the No. 74 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Fields possesses great size and leaping ability at 6-foot-4, but he will need to prove that he is ready to serve as the No. 2 receiver opposite Malik Nabers next season.<\/p>\n

New York also has Darius Slayton<\/a>, with whom Fields will compete for the Giants\u2019 No. 2 receiver role in 2026.<\/p>\n

In this year\u2019s draft, New York selected Miami<\/a> offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa with the No. 10 overall pick instead of potential top wide receivers such as USC\u2019s Makai Lemon and Texas A&M\u2019s KC Concepcion. As a result, a precedent still exists for the Giants to target a top wide receiver prospect in the 2027 draft.<\/p>\n
