Giants Mock Draft

The NFL Draft is one day away, which means it’s time to finalize mock draft season. Thanks to COVID-19, there are no Pro Days to observe as the pre-draft process comes to a close. While some players are performing their own isolated workouts, by and large, there will be no new information about these prospects between now and the NFL Draft. Based on everything the scouting community knows, let’s take a look at a seven-round mock draft for the New York Giants.

Note that this mock draft does not include trades due to the obvious issues involved with trying to simultaneously be general manager for two separate teams. Additionally, note that this Giants mock draft was performed using the Draft Network Mock Draft Machine, so all of these players have a decent chance of being on the board when New York is on the clock.

New York Giants Seven Round Mock Draft

First Round (4th Overall): Andrew Thomas, OT [Draft Profile]

Andrew Thomas is the ideal pick for the New York Giants. He possesses great technique and has good size for a lineman (6’5″, 320 pounds). He was a three-year starter at a powerhouse football program. In his first year, he started at right tackle. He switched to left tackle at the start of his sophomore year. He excelled during the entirety of his collegiate career. His combine was not as flashy as other prospects, but he shows up on tape where it really matters. It is imperative to protect their investment in Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley, so Thomas makes the most sense.

Second Round (36th Overall): A.J. Epenesa, EDGE [Draft Profile]

This would be a home run selection for the Giants. They are in desperate need of an edge rusher so picking up A.J. Epenesa at the beginning of the second round is a dream scenario. He had a productive college career, totaling 10+ sacks during his sophomore and junior campaigns. He would be a great player to build their defense around.

Third Round (99th Overall): Tyler Biadasz, C [Draft Profile]

Tyler Biadasz had a tremendous 2018 season. He had a first-round grade going into the 2019 season. However, injuries have hurt his draft stock. He played through injuries during the 2019 season, so his tape wasn’t as good, but he is well worth the selection at 99th overall. He will have time to rest and heal, so this could be the pick teams look back on in a few years and regret not making themselves. Furthermore, this fills a big need for the team.

Fourth Round (130th Overall): Collin Johnson, WR [Draft Profile]

Collin Johnson could become the Giants’ next Plaxico Burress. He is a tall red zone threat who could go up and win a jump ball. He does not need to have an immediate impact due to the surplus of receivers on the Giants, but he will be able to grow into his role while expanding his route tree.

Fifth Round (150th Overall): Davion Taylor, LB [Draft Profile]

Davion Taylor is what the Giants need in a linebacker. He is a fast and athletic linebacker. Taylor will complement Blake Martinez and Ryan Connelly, who are more traditional run stuffers. He needs to improve his technique, but his athleticism provides him good coverage upside.

Sixth Round (183rd Overall): Bravvion Roy, NT [Draft Profile]

Bravvion Roy could become a solid depth piece at nose tackle. He is a strong run stuffer who would slot in well next to Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams when necessary. Dalvin Tomlinson is in a contract year, so adding nose tackle depth is important.

Seventh Round (218th Overall): Kevin Dotson, G [Draft Profile]

Kevin Dotson helps provide depth to a weak area of the team. He is the prototypical Dave Gettleman offensive lineman, as he is a big, physical run blocker. Dotson would be a developmental guard with the potential to replace Kevin Zeitler when his contract expires.

Seventh Round (238th Overall): Shyheim Carter, S [Draft Profile]

Shyheim Carter is a converted corner. He could become a rotational safety to back up Julian Love. He comes from a strong pedigree playing for Alabama, so he has competed against some of the toughest players in college football. He shows good versatility to be a slot corner or either safety should he hang around and make the roster.

Seventh Round (247th Overall): Sean McKeon, TE

Sean McKeon can fill the Rhett Ellison role as a productive run blocker. He leaves the University of Michigan with minimal stats, but run blocking tight ends are always needed in the NFL. He could develop his route tree later on, but may hang onto an NFL roster due to his good size and blocking ability.

Seventh Round (255th Overall): Oluwole Betiku Jr., EDGE [Draft Profile]

Oluwole Betiku Jr. was a five-star prospect out of college. He left USC due to a lack of playing time and transferred to Illinois. He is freakishly athletic, but never seemed to put it all together. As the Mr. Irrelevant selection, he may be worth the pick due to his potential. He would be a long-term project.
