New York Giants NFL Draft Profile

How the Giants draft: the front office running the board, the needs shaping the next class, and every draft class we cover.

Compiled by the NFL Mock Draft Simulator research desk · Front office: Joe Schoen (GM), John Harbaugh (HC)

Front office and philosophy

General manager: Joe Schoen  ·  Head coach: John Harbaugh

Building an elite offensive line and skill-position corps under John Harbaugh's proven championship blueprint. Harbaugh's defensive expertise shapes the back seven while Schoen's analytical approach targets undervalued positions. The Giants need a complete rebuild.

Joe Schoen is a methodical Buffalo-trained GM who trusts the board and accumulates assets. John Harbaugh built Baltimore into a dynasty through physicality and special teams excellence. The Giants have Malik Nabers as their WR1 and Jaxson Dart at QB, so they need OL protection for Dart, a second receiver opposite Nabers, and defensive playmakers. Harbaugh prioritizes physicality and scheme versatility.

These tendencies are encoded directly into the simulator: when you run a mock and the Giants are on the clock, the engine applies this regime's positional biases and its balance between best-player-available and need-based drafting. See how the simulator works for the full methodology.
