The New York Giants had an odd situation on their hands at the start of the season.
Darren Waller wanted to come out of retirement, and the Giants still held his rights, but Waller wanted to play for the Miami Dolphins.
That required a small trade. Waller and a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick went to the Dolphins, and the Giants got a 2026 sixth-round pick from the Dolphins.
With the conclusion of the regular season, we now know exactly what slot that pick is in for the Giants.
It'll be pick No. 192, right ahead of the 193rd spot the Giants also got in a trade, the latter from the Cowboys.

And sure, pick 192 doesn't sound that exciting. But the Giants are a developing team with a lot of needs. The more dart throws they have, the better.
They certainly didn't need Waller. Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger were plenty good at tight end for the Giants.
Waller had flashes for the Dolphins but also struggled to stay healthy, and both teams missed the playoffs.

There is one notably famous player who went No. 192 overall: Hall of Fame pass catcher Shannon Sharpe.
Maybe the Giants can get lightning to strike twice.
