The New York Giants earned a B+ grade for their 2026 offseason from ESPN’s Seth Walder. The key move was hiring John Harbaugh as head coach, a decision expected to positively influence the franchise's direction. The Giants traded DT Dexter Lawrence II to the Bengals for the No. 10 pick, which allowed them to select linebacker/edge rusher Arvell Reese at No. 5 and offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa at No. 10 in the draft. While this offseason is viewed as creating a foundation for the long term, there are expectations for improved performance in 2026 under Harbaugh's leadership.
