New York Giants and T Jermaine Eluemunor. Eluemunor is an important domino for the Giants, because I believe their entire draft plan hinges upon it. If they re-sign him, they’ll likely use the No. 5 overall pick on the best player available. But if they aren’t able to strike a deal, they might be pigeon-holed into taking an offensive lineman with their top pick.
Francis Mauigoa from Miami feels like the most likely selection for them, as he has played right tackle, where they would have an immediate need. Mauigoa would also allow them to lean more into the power run game after he earned a 75.4 PFF run-blocking grade in man/gap scheme concepts in 2025. But if New York loses Eluemunor and also doesn’t address the position at No. 5, tackle prospects like Blake Miller, Caleb Lomu or Max Iheanachor at the top of Round 2 could be very good options for them.
