Giants weigh move-down in 2026 NFL Draft to rack up picks

Analysts note that teams aren’t likely to move up in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft, but a Pro Football and Sports Network seven‑round mock envisions the Giants trading down from No. 5 to No. 8 (and adding No. 73) to gain capital. The haul would include Francis Mauigoa at No. 8 to bolster the offensive line, with Chris Johnson (CB, No. 37) and Skyler Bell (WR, No. 73) slated for Day 2, followed by several Day‑3 picks to address remaining needs.

"Steelers' Potential Draft Moves and 2024 NFL Draft Basics"

ESPN's Bill Barnwell suggests that the Pittsburgh Steelers, positioned at No. 20 in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, could benefit from trading down with the Dallas Cowboys to acquire more draft picks. This move would provide the Steelers with additional capital to address multiple needs, particularly in offensive line and wide receiver positions. While it may cost them a shot at certain top prospects, the trade could potentially enhance their overall draft strategy and depth. However, it also carries the risk of missing out on a coveted player at a critical position.
