Giants’ first-round pick becomes inevitable if they hire John Harbaugh

Whether the New York Giants find a trade partner or not for the fifth overall pick in the 2026 Draft is up to the football gods. Okay, and maybe a little bit of Joe Schoen, too. But trusting the much-maligned general manager to make the right decisions is becoming increasingly harder to believe.
