The New York Giants are set to make NFL history by potentially holding two top-10 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. This rare occurrence prompts a look back at the last ten times teams achieved this feat.
The New England Patriots selected LB Chris Singleton (No. 8) and DL Ray Agnew (No. 10) in 1990. Both players had short stints with the team.
In 1992, the Indianapolis Colts uniquely held the No. 1 and No. 2 picks, selecting DL Steve Emtman and LB Quentin Coryatt. Emtman was hampered by injuries, while Coryatt provided solid defensive play.
Indianapolis also drafted RB Marshall Faulk (No. 2) and LB Trev Alberts (No. 5) in 1994. Faulk became a star, but was later traded, while Alberts struggled with injuries.
The Seattle Seahawks had a strong 1997 draft with DB Shawn Springs (No. 3) and OT Walter Jones (No. 6), both becoming key contributors, with Jones earning Hall of Fame status.
In 2000, Washington selected LB LaVar Arrington (No. 2) and OT Chris Samuels (No. 3). Both were multiple-time Pro Bowlers, with Samuels having a more sustained career.
Baltimore Ravens also had two top-10 picks in 2000: RB Jamal Lewis (No. 5) and WR Travis Taylor (No. 10). Lewis became an MVP, while Taylor was a consistent receiver.
The Cleveland Browns drafted QB Baker Mayfield (No. 1) and CB Denzel Ward (No. 4) in 2018. Mayfield brought respectability, while Ward became an elite defensive back.
In 2022, the New York Jets selected CB Sauce Gardner (No. 4) and WR Garrett Wilson (No. 10), both winning Rookie of the Year and becoming Pro Bowlers.
Also in 2022, the New York Giants drafted LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (No. 5) and OT Evan Neal (No. 7). Their careers have been mixed, with Thibodeaux showing flashes of talent.
The Houston Texans drafted QB C.J. Stroud (No. 2) and DE Will Anderson Jr. (No. 3) in 2023, both winning Rookie of the Year and anchoring a successful franchise.
