PFF Mock Projects Giants to Select Utah OT Spencer Fano at No. 5

The projection highlights a shift toward protecting Jaxson Dart by targeting a ready-made starter at right tackle.

Overview

  • In Max Chadwick’s latest PFF mock draft, New York is slated to take Outland Trophy winner Spencer Fano with the fifth pick.
  • Fano is linked to the Giants’ right tackle vacancy with Jermaine Eluemunor set for free agency and to the priority of safeguarding quarterback Jaxson Dart.
  • PFF credited Fano with an 84.0 overall grade in 2025, zero sacks and zero hits allowed on 382 pass-blocking snaps, and a position-best 92.0 grade over the past two seasons.
  • His run-blocking helped Utah lead the power conferences at 269.8 rushing yards per game, with PFF run grades of 93.6 in 2024 and 80.0 in 2025.
  • Choosing a tackle at No. 5 would likely mean passing on top receivers or defensive playmakers, though pairing Fano with Andrew Thomas could give the Giants young bookend tackles and an immediate starter.
