Giants seven-round NFL mock draft 4.0: Big Blue takes Malik Nabers, sticks with Daniel Jones

The time for jesting will soon pass, giving way to reality. With the NFL Draft looming, anticipation is high, fueled by speculation and excitement. The lead-up to this event is always a whirlwind of scenarios and discussions, making it both baffling and enjoyable.

In our previous Giants-only mock drafts, we followed the simulations closely, catering to various positions like quarterbacks and wide receivers. However, we didn’t focus much on the offensive line, as it wasn’t perceived as a priority for the Giants in this draft.

For our final mock draft, Mock 4.0, we utilized simulations from Pro Football Focus, Pro Football Network, and Sportskeeda. Additionally, we relied on our understanding of the Giants’ preferences to make informed selections.

Without further ado, here is Mock 4.0:

Round 1, No. 6 overall: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU In a passing-centric league, we anticipate the first three picks to be quarterbacks, followed by a potential trade-up to secure a quarterback. This leaves Nabers as an excellent choice for the Giants. With his exceptional ability to separate and make plays after the catch, Nabers fills a crucial need as a top target for the offense.

Round 2, No. 47 overall: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia Lassiter addresses a significant need for the Giants, providing depth and talent to the cornerback position. With his size and versatility in coverage, he has the potential to start immediately and make an impact in both man and zone defenses.

Round 3, No. 70 overall: Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee Wright offers a promising option at running back, aligning with the preferences of General Manager Joe Schoen. With Barkley now with the Eagles and uncertainties in the backfield, Wright’s explosive playmaking ability and size make him a valuable addition.

Round 4, No. 107 overall: Michael Pratt, QB, Tulane Despite being a later pick, Pratt presents potential as a quarterback, with the chance to develop into a solid player. His experience as a four-year starter and athleticism provide value, offering depth to the quarterback position.

Round 5, No. 166 overall: Javon Foster, OT, Missouri Foster brings athleticism and size to the offensive tackle position, addressing depth concerns for the Giants. With his experience and physical attributes, Foster adds much-needed depth to the roster.

Round 6, No. 183 overall: Dadrian Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech Taylor-Demerson may not be the biggest player in the secondary, but his ball-hawking skills and playmaking ability make him a valuable addition. With the departure of key players, Taylor-Demerson provides depth and versatility to the safety position.

In conclusion, Mock 4.0 aims to address key needs for the Giants while also considering the team’s long-term goals and preferences. With a combination of talent and potential, these selections aim to bolster the team for the upcoming season and beyond.
