By Ed Stein
The upcoming draft is very important for the New York Giants future. Empire Writes Back put together a consensus of 21 mock drafts to get an indication of what might happen.
This year’s annual NFL Draft is scheduled for April 25-27 in Nashville, Tennessee. The New York Giants have two of the first 17 picks, and four of the top 95, so they will leave a big footprint on the draft board.
In the months leading up to the big event, prognosticators and pundits come out with their mock drafts. Meanwhile, Big Blue Nation wants to find out which one has an inside track on the who the new Giants will be. After the draft its fun to see which of them actually knew something and who was being played. There are many opinions from all over the country who try to interpret what the Giants needs are and how they will go about filling them.
The draft is an evolving, fluid situation, and the speculation isn’t over until a team’s pick is announced at the podium. Even then it can change. Teams make trades, lots of them. That’s why we looked at 21 different Mock Drafts across the internet. Included in the compilation are drafts from ESPN, CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, NFL.com, 24/7, Sporting News, Walter Football, Athlon Sports, Ourlads, USA Today, draftsite.com, and of course FanSided.
There are plenty of different theories and opinions to consider. Obviously, who the Giants pick at six will affect what they do with the 17th pick. You’ll see how that plays out because 11 of the 21 Mock Drafts audited have the Giants drafting a quarterback in the first round.
We will cover the New York Giants first four picks. Those are Round One – picks six and 17; Round Two – Pick 37, and Round Three – Pick 95.
