Ranking Giants' best potential NFL Draft 2026 hauls with top-10 picks
Key Points:
- Giants GM Joe Schoen previously held two top-10 NFL Draft picks and chose edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 5 instead of an offensive tackle due to similar evaluations of offensive tackles Evan Neal and Ikem Ekwonu.
- Schoen's decision was based on the scarcity of edge rushers compared to the availability of similarly graded offensive tackles.
- In hindsight, the evaluations appear flawed as Neal and Ekwonu have performed poorly, ranking as the worst two players among the top 14 picks of that draft.
- Thibodeaux's performance has also been disappointing, placing him closer to the bottom than the top of his draft class.
