The New York Giants have reportedly set a pre-draft “30” visit with Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano. That makes Fano the highest-ranked offensive lineman to reportedly have or to schedule a meeting with the Giants in the buildup to the 2026 NFL Draft.
That does not mean the Giants have not or will not meet with Miami’s Francis Mauigoa, Penn State’s Vega Ioane, Georgia’s Marcus Freeling, or any other top-ranked offensive lineman. They likely have, or will. Those meetings simply have not come to light, or been scheduled, as of yet.
The re-signing of Jermaine Eluemunor is thus far the only major move the Giants have made on their offensive line. They still have a hole at right guard, where last season’s starter, Greg Van Roten remains a free agent.
Fano is the third-ranked tackle on the NFL Mock Draft Database Consensus Big Board, and the 12th-ranked prospect overall. Mauigoa is No. 5 overall, and Freeling No. 11.
In his Fano scouting report, Todd McShay writes:
Fano’s short arms raise questions about his position fit and might hurt his draft value, but he is one of the top offensive linemen in this class and a top 15-20 player overall.
Fano has the traditional athletic profile of a left tackle, with experience playing on the left side—but the bulk of his experience comes at right tackle, and his short arms could cause him to kick inside. Buccaneers 2022 second-round pick Luke Goedeke’s arms measured 32 1/4 inch at the combine, and he was expected to move inside from right tackle, where he played in college. Goedeke started his NFL career at left guard and started eight games as a rookie, but he’s started at right tackle the past three seasons and played at a high level. Hall of Fame center Kevin Mawae is another interesting though imperfect comp. Mawae played center in high school, moving to center as a senior at LSU in 1993, but he primarily played left tackle in college. While he didn’t play on the inside in college, Fano has the traits to develop into an excellent center in the NFL.
