# What is the update on Arvell Reese that Giants fans will be relieved about?

The big relief for Giants fans is that Arvell Reese — considered by many a top-1 or top-2 prospect in the entire 2026 draft — somehow **fell to them at pick No. 5**. He was a massive value get.

- Pre-draft betting markets had Reese at **-260 to -300** to go No. 2 overall, per Establish The Run [(hear the clip)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW9JGhWGdps&t=148s).
- The Fantasy Headliners called him "the number one or number two overall player in this draft depending on who you spoke with" who "fell to the New York Giants at number five" [(hear the clip)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTU6xKgaUJM&t=464s).

That slide from a near-consensus top-2 prospect to pick No. 5 is a huge win for the Giants' rebuild — they get a potential cornerstone defender without having to trade up. (from the New York Giants page and the draft pick article)
