Giants join Dolphins, Jets, Cowboys, Chiefs, Browns as teams with two first-round picks
Key Points:
- The 2026 NFL draft features significant movement, with six teams holding two first-round picks each and six teams having none, a stark contrast to 2025 when all teams retained their first-round selections.
- The New York Giants are in a strong position with two top-10 picks (No. 5 and No. 10 overall), following a trade with the Bengals for Dexter Lawrence.
- Other teams with two first-round picks include the Dolphins, Jets, Cowboys, Chiefs, and Browns, all acquiring additional picks through recent trades involving key players.
- Six teams without first-round picks are the Bengals, Broncos, Falcons, Colts, Packers, and Jaguars, reflecting aggressive trading strategies or rebuild phases.
- Notably, all teams holding two first-round picks missed the playoffs this season and are aiming to use these selections to rebuild and improve their rosters for future success.
