NFL Draft 2026: Jeremiyah Love or Sonny Styles for Giants at No. 5? | 7-round mock | NJ.com
Round 4 (No. 105): CB Malik Muhammad, Texas. You could argue that the Giants have three premium picks this year, since this selection is just outside the top 100. And Harbaugh indeed uses it on a corner. Paulson Adebo flopped in 2025, and Greg Newsome probably isn’t a long-term solution at the other corner spot. Losing Cor’Dale Flott in free agency was a big blow.
Muhammad, who is 6 feet and 182 pounds, must get bigger and stronger. But there’s a lot to like about him, including these items from his NFL.com scouting report: “He can man up from press or off and is a plus pattern-matcher, staying in-phase and shadowing break points. He displays outstanding vision and adheres to his zone-cover principles, allowing him to play with ideal efficiency on all three levels.”

First-rounders who quickly could fill starting holes at right guard (Miami’s Francis Mauigoa or Vega Ioane of Penn State), cornerback (LSU’s Mansoor Delane), and receiver (Ohio State’s Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson of Arizona State, and USC’s Makai Lemon) are not among the consensus five-best prospects.
The Giants don’t have a third-round pick after last year’s Jaxson Dart trade, so dropping back could help land two starters (a third-round defensive tackle, perhaps). But will head coach John Harbaugh be willing to bypass the perennial All-Pro potential of (Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah) Love or (Ohio State safety Caleb) Downs — Schoen’s positional-value belief be damned?
“I’m certain he’s going to be able to put up the numbers, the stats,” Harbaugh said. “That wasn’t the thing in Baltimore because of the supporting cast. I’ve seen him every day in practice. I’ve seen him make plays. I know how he plays the game. So, you try to kind of create a vision for a player. What do you think they’re capable of doing? And one thing that we always have tried to do is see what players can do. Not so much concerned about what they don’t do, what they haven’t done, what they can’t do. What can they do? And when you see a player do it every day, you got a pretty good idea what he’s capable of.”
The Biggest Question Facing Every NFL Team Entering Draft Month | Bleacher Report
New York Giants: How close are they to being a real contender? There’s a lot of optimism surrounding a team that looks to have found centerpieces at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and on the edge and is now led by a Super Bowl champion head coach. But the Giants need to actually make that leap, and a lot will depend on how they round out the roster (particularly in the trenches) with the fifth pick in both Rounds 1 and 2.
