The New York Giants kicked off the 2026 NFL Draft with the selections of Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese (No. 5) and Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa (No. 10).
The Giants entered Thursday night with eight selections, including two in the top 10 following the recent trade of defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in exchange for their pick at No. 10.
Since the first draft in 1936, the Giants have now used multiple picks in the first round seven times. Four of them have come in the last seven drafts, including three since Joe Schoen took over as general manager in 2022.
It is just the second time they have selected two in the top 10, and now they will help lay the foundation for John Harbaugh's first season as head coach of the Giants.
Giants picking multiple times in Round 1:
2026: LB Arvell Reese (No. 5), OL Francis Mauigoa (No. 10)
2025: OLB Abdul Carter (No. 3), QB Jaxson Dart (No. 25)
2022: OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux (No. 5), OL Evan Neal (No. 7)
2019: QB Daniel Jones (No. 6), DL Dexter Lawrence (No. 17), CB DeAndre Baker (No. 30)
1984: LB Carl Banks (No. 3), OL William Roberts (No. 27)
1972: DB Eldridge Small (No. 17), DE Larry Jacobson (No. 24)
1951: HB Kyle Rote (No. 1), FB Jim Spavital (No. 13)
That leaves the Giants with six more picks, including one on Day 2 (starts 7 p.m. ET on Friday):
Round 2 – No. 37
Round 4 – No. 105
Round 5 – No. 145
Round 6 – No. 186
Round 6 – No. 192 (from MIA)
Round 6 – No. 193 (from DAL)
