It's April 3, NFL News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Corey with the story. The New York Giants face huge pressure to land game-changers with their top picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. Veteran analysts Dove Farar from SB Nation dropped a two-round mock this week, sliding the Giants at 5th overall in Round 1 for Ohio State. Linebacker Sonny Styles, then grabbing Alabama-wide receiver Jeremy Bernard at 37th in Round 2. Styles brings versatility, tackling in the box, rushing the passer and covering ground. New head coach John Harbaugh stressed how vital inside linebackers are to stopping the run, while GM Joe Shone sees him as the fix for their defense. Farar nailed some intel straight from the scouting combine chats with the player. Bernard shines with toughness, quickness after the catch, and blocking skills, making him a solid possession guy who lines up anywhere. He's got upside as a jet sweep threat too, though his deep-speed lags a bit.

Other mocks highlight Cowboys trading a big for a Notre Dame running back, top corners flying off early, and Ohio State's safety, Caleb Downs sliding. Due to skip testing, Farar eyed an Oregon guard just out of Giants Reach 2. Giants fans, this mock stack defense first, then adds a low-risk receiver smart for a rebuild. Could be the spark they need to turn things around.
