Giants simply cannot pass on chance to have NFL's most dynamic backfield originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New York Giants could go in several different directions with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, one option, if it exists, should be a slam-dunk selection for general manager Joe Schoen.  That option would be Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, arguably the most exciting player in this year's class. Love was not connected to the Giants much in the early pre-draft process, but many recent mocks have him going there, such as this one from Chad Reuter of NFL.com . "It's still possible John Harbaugh goes for a defensive back like  Caleb Downs , mirroring his selections while in Baltimore.

After a rare busy week from the Dallas Cowboys in week one of free agency, the front office is hoping to fill holes heading into the draft so the team can take the “best player available” approach. For the most part, the front office has done a nice job of that. Trading for Rashan Gary gave the Cowboys a high-floor player at the edge position that should immediately upgrade their run defense and be a nice complemen...
