Walter Football 2025 Mock Draft

Sky King : 2:40 pm
5(!) QB's taken in the first 7 picks. Giants pick 10th and take...

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan Image for MICH

Quarterback may seem like the obvious choice if one is available, but the Giants may have grand plans to draft Arch Manning in 2026. He’s the top choice for New York in my 2026 NFL Mock Draft. The Giants can instead obtain a shutdown cornerback to fill a huge need for their poor secondary.

Will Johnson, who had a tremendous showing during the championship run, has a plus skill set and upside.

Well that would suck.

I'd trade Carolina a 6th round pick for B Young and bring him in to compete in the offseason
People talk about Arch Manning

like he’s part of the 2026 free agent class. Are we going 3-14 next season?
I doubt very much the Giants are putting their eggs in the

A. Manning basket for 2026. I want a winning lottery ticket too but I m not betting this years decisions around it. Because they want it doesn't mean they can get it.
"A huge need for a poor secondary."  
BigBlueNH : 2:59 pm : link
Has he watched a single Giants game? I'm not opposed to taking a CB in the first round, but our secondary has performed far from poorly, and is very young.
Poor secondary?  
Eman11 : 3:00 pm : link
Have they watched the games at all? The secondary is young and while they’re not at a great level, they’re not nearly a poor unit.

Flott seems to be improving, Dru amd Nubin are two good young rookies and Tae always seems to be right on his guy.

Now if Cleveland is having a fire sale and we can get Ward for a couple of 3rd day picks, I’m all in on that, but don’t think we need to invest a high #1 on CB. If it’s not QB, get a stud DL of OL. Keep building the trenches.
If the "Grand Plan" is to draft  
Biteymax22 : 3:09 pm : link
Arch Manning, they better trade this pick down for future 1sts. Its either that or a total tank.
how can anyone be against a QB  
Giantsfan79 : 3:10 pm : link
if the Giants are picking 10th and 5 are drafted before they get on the board, just because the secondary is "OK" so far doesn't mean a top end corner could really turn it into a young shut down unit.
2026?

LOL people still read Walter Football?

Slow news day I guess.
Two things:  
Anakim : 3:14 pm : link
1. So we have to COMPLETELY tank for Arch? Yeah, no thanks. I'm not down with that at all.

2. Who's to say he doesn't stay for his senior year like his uncles?
If this team goes into another season with Jones  
Simms11 : 3:15 pm : link
at QB there will be a massive mutiny amongst fans.
Arch  
Sammo85 : 3:34 pm : link
is not coming out until April 2027. He’s staying at Texas to get two full seasons as starter and swing at a national championship.

He's also only a redshirt frosh this year. Both Eli and Peyton stayed long, and he makes millions of dollars a year in college. I love him as a prospect, but the Giants can't bank on having the #1 pick, and I don't necessarily think he'll even be available to anyone in the 2026 draft

Absolutely not.
Then welcome Sam

Darnold!!
Who says Arch is coming out  
HardTruth : 3:46 pm : link
In 2026?
I'm not a scout  
pjcas18 : 3:49 pm : link
but DJ Lagway looks better to me than Arch Manning. Or worst case, he looks really good.

Not sure which draft either them enters.
Great, into year 7 of the pointless wonder  
56goat : 3:58 pm : link
"Abandon all hope ye who enter". Giants will have 2 fans left - Jack & Shamrocks.
If by any chance Sanders is drafted by Cleveland....  
MOOPS : 6:15 pm : link
with the number 1 pick, he'd do an Eli.
Arch will probably be in 2027 draft  
Pick a QB next year. Trade down to pick him if you like.  
Ash_3 : 6:31 pm : link
Sign a vet in the offseason and start the first rounder 6-7 games into next season. He's got a 1.5 year tryout. If he sucks, well go get Arch Manning or whoever the hell you want in 2027. Keep shooting until you find the guy.
In that scenario you have to trade with the Jags up to #5  
Stu11 : 6:34 pm : link
And grab Ward or Ewers. No excuses.
I read this and can't believe we are an actual NFL franchise  
GiantBlue : 7:14 pm : link
because what I have been witnessing is total malpractice by the owner and GM.

I screamed at the top of my lungs...JONES, LOCK & DAVITO!

Those are sandlot qb's at best.

and we are an NFL franchise!

When does the REAL anger start????? Me, I have been angry since they sat Eli for Geno Smith....and have rarely smiled about this team since. It is a travesty!

Seriously. Any article or social media post that talks about a plan to draft Arch Manning is automatically suspect. How can the Giants have a plan to draft a player in the 2026 draft when they don't know for sure he'll come out, they don't know where he'll be ranked in the draft class, they don't know where the Giants will finish in 2025 or who will be drafting ahead of them. It's complete fantasy.
