Dane Brugler ranked the Giants’ 2026 draft haul No. 2 in the league, behind the Browns, praising Arvell Reese as the standout pick and calling Day 3 pick Jack Kelly a potential surprise, signaling a very strong, near-elite class for New York.
The New York Giants closed the 2026 NFL Draft with three sixth-round picks: Bobby Jamison-Travis (iDL, Auburn), a 6-3, 330-pound run-stuffing interior lineman who can clog gaps but isn’t a standout pass rusher; JC Davis (OT, Illinois), a 6-4, 322-pound blocker who could stay at tackle or move inside depending on technique; and Jack Kelly (LB, BYU), a compact 6-1, 240-pound athlete renowned for blitzing ability and special-teams potential. The trio fits a plan for a bulkier 2-5 front and provides depth behind edge players like Kayvon Thibodeaux and Arvell Reese, while Davis could challenge swing-tackle/Mbow situations and even center depth.
The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted three pre-draft visitors on Wednesday: Skyler Bell (WR, UConn), Jakobe Thomas (S, Miami), and Jack Kelly (LB, BYU), all projected as mid-round picks. Bell produced 101 receptions for 1,278 yards and 13 TD in 2025 (after a 50-860-5 in 2024) and is viewed as a potential slot receiver; Thomas had a standout 2025 with 76 tackles, 5 interceptions, 6 pass breakups, and 3.5 sacks, offering versatile safety play; Kelly logged 15 sacks across two BYU seasons, 106 tackles, and boasted elite athleticism (RAS 9.73, 4.57 40). With Patrick Queen’s contract expiring after 2026, Pittsburgh is likely to value off-ball linebacker depth, and the team has now hosted 23 total visitors, signaling continued activity ahead of the draft.
