Of the first 10 players selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, eight have earned contract extensions. The two exceptions were both drafted by the Giants. Defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, the fifth overall pick, is currently in his option year with no extension expected. Offensive lineman Evan Neal, the seventh overall pick, became a free agent in 2026 and re-signed for the one-year minimum. afrikasportnews.co.za

The Giants will hope for better results with their 2026 draft class, having recently used top-10 picks on linebacker Arvell Reese (fifth overall) and tackle Francis Mauigoa (tenth overall).
