The Giants can still come out of the 2025 season with the first overall pick if they lose to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18, provided the Raiders also beat the Kansas City Chiefs. That might be unlikely, as Raiders’ quarterback Geno Smith suffered an ankle injury against the Giants and the Raiders will likely start Kenny Pickett against the Chiefs.

Geno Smith has been sacked more than any other quarterback in the NFL and he was just decked again, forcing a field goal for the Raiders. Officially: Brian Burns and Abdul Carter split the sack, so Burns is at 15.5 and Carter is at 4.

An inside look at Sunday’s Giants-Raiders NFL Week 17 matchup at Allegiant Stadium:

With the fifth overall pick in the 2026 draft, the Giants ended up selecting Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate. Even with Jeremiah Smith on the same team, Tate had a breakout year, finishing second on the Buckeyes with 838 receiving yards in the regular season. He made multiple impressive catches downfield that grabbed the nation’s attention.

Okereke recorded seven solo tackles and five stops in a 16-13 home loss versus the Minnesota Vikings, earning himself a spot on Pro Football Focus' Team of the Week. He was one of two linebackers to receive the honor on Gordon McGuinness’s list.

As outstanding as Jaxson Dart has been, his recent statistical decline since Brian Daboll was fired warrants a study. The Ole Miss product was once the favorite for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, with -135 odds, but now he sits at +3500, per FanDuel.
