2026 NFL mock draft: Giants add No. 10 overall pick after trading Dexter Lawrence to Bengals

The 2026 NFL Draft is less than a week away and the Giants just added another Top 10 pick with trade of Lawrence
Rumors are recklessly flying around this time of year, but Dexter Lawrence's availability in a trade was more than speculation.

On Saturday night, the Bengals agreed to trade the No.

10 overall selection in exchange for the All-Pro defensive tackle.

Some teams are more transparent with whom they have interest but others hold their cards close to the vest.

The value in mock draft exercises is that teams are able to accumulate information and that could inform where a prospect may be taken.

In today's mock draft exercise, we explore where runs on individual positions may occur and into which picks a team may need to trade in order to secure a specific prospect.

There are five trades made in the scenario below and at least one pick is made for each of the league's 32 teams.

Without further ado, let's kick this off!

The 2026 NFL Draft will take place April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.

Teams without a first-round pick
No.

41: CB Colton Hood, Tennessee
After trading its first round pick to New York in exchange for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, Cincinnati sinks another resource into the defensive side of the ball.

Indianapolis has a need at the linebacker position and Allen may be available later than mock draft projections.

No.

48: WR Germie Bernard, Alabama
Bernard is taking a pre-draft visit to Atlanta.

He is a clean receiver prospect willing to do the dirty work in Kevin Stefanski's offense.

The team is likely to lean into its run game and Bernard is a more than qualified blocker.

No.

52: DL Domonique Orange, Iowa State
Orange is a bigger body who will upgrade the team's run defense.

No.

56: LB Jake Golday, Cincinnati
Jacksonville is tasked with replacing Devin Lloyd, who departed in free agency.

Golday is a bigger linebacker prospect with the athleticism to play sideline to sideline.

No.

62: TE Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
Denver continues adding explosive playmakers to the offense even after picking up Jaylen Waddle.

Stowers is an unrefined talent as a recent convert from quarterback, but Sean Payton will have no problem designing his role in the offense.
