The complete and official order for the 2026 NFL Draft has been set.
The news came with Monday's announcement from the league that a total of 33 compensatory draft selections were awarded to 15 teams. The Giants, who picked up an extra third-round choice in 2025 and used it in a package to trade up for Jaxson Dart, did not receive one this year.
A team losing more free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The compensatory picks are positioned by value within the third through seventh rounds. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time, and postseason honors.
The Giants will operate with seven total picks, including three in the sixth round.
