NFL mock drafts shift after Dexter Lawrence trade

sportsApr 19, 202621107

The New York Giants traded defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The No. 10 pick gives New York a top-10 selection it can use on quarterback Jaxson Dart or to add a high-end offensive playmaker. Cincinnati acquires Lawrence to bolster its interior defensive line for 2026, and the swap reshuffles the first-round order heading into next week’s draft.
