Giants draft plan may already be decided after a telling statement from John Harbaugh

The 2026 NFL Draft season is about to really heat up with the start of the Scouting Combine, and teams will start to create their big boards of the players they’re interested in drafting. The New York Giants, who have the No. 5 pick, may already know the player atop their board before the process even truly gets underway.

New head coach John Harbaugh recently appeared on The Mike Francesa Podcast, and Francesa talked about Harbaugh’s history of coaching special safeties like Ed Reed, Brian Dawkins, and Kyle Hamilton. Considering that history, the Giants head coach was asked about draft prospect Caleb Downs.
