Two mock drafts. Two different picks. Two sides of the ball.
Ahead of next week's NFL Scouting Combine, NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his second mock draft of the 2026 cycle and switched his selection for the Giants at No. 5 to Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate.
"The Giants add another weapon for Jaxson Dart," Jeremiah wrote in this scenario. "Tate gives the offense a vertical receiver to play opposite a hopefully-healthy Malik Nabers."
Jeremiah picked LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane in his first mock draft, writing then that "the Giants could add a receiver later in the draft -- it's a deep class at the position -- but Delane would immediately be their most talented cornerback."
Delane is the No. 8 overall prospect in Jeremiah’s top 50, while Tate is No. 9.
"Tate is a tall, long wideout with outstanding play speed and production," Jeremiah wrote in his report. "He has excellent suddenness to defeat press coverage, and he covers ground quickly with his long stride. He attacks defender's leverage when they play him in off coverage. He has strong/reliable hands in traffic and tracks the ball beautifully over his shoulder down the field. He can access an extra gear when the ball is in the air. He is a loose athlete and that shows up when he adjusts to balls thrown on his back shoulder. He is efficient with his footwork when working back to the quarterback. He's not exceptionally dynamic with the ball in his hands. Overall, Tate should provide an immediate impact in the vertical passing game."
On Delane: "Delane is one of the most consistent players in this draft class. He makes everything look easy in coverage as a corner who is extremely loose and fluid in his change of direction. He is adept at press coverage, possessing the ability to re-route and mirror all over the field. In zone, he plays with instincts and awareness. He goes long stretches without getting challenged because of his tight coverage. When he is attacked, he can locate and make plays on the ball. He always looks to get involved in run defense, closing space in a hurry and operating as a physical, reliable tackler. Overall, Delane has the tools to match up with every style of receiver. He can run with the vertical weapons and play physical with the bigger ones."
