The 2024 NFL Scouting Mix in Indianapolis, Indiana concluded on Sunday, and the destiny of many prospects was modified.
With the on-field testing now out of the way in which, Giants Wire determined to take a second shot at a full 7-round mock draft for the New York Giants.
As a result of our preliminary Spherical 1 mock draft was so controversial, we eradicated all trades on this one simply as we had in our first 7-round mock. That’s clearly not how the precise draft will play out however permitting solely a single commerce the primary time was justifiably unrealistic as nicely.
For this mock draft, we as soon as once more used the Professional Soccer Focus mock draft simulator and left all settings on default. We selected just for the Giants.
Right here’s a have a look at the Giants’ seven-round haul.
We thought Malik Nabers may need been the decide right here as a result of he had fallen in different simulations, however he received snatched up this time. As an alternative, with Nabers and the highest three quarterbacks off the board, the Giants snag a real WR1 with Washington’s Rome Odunze, who has develop into an more and more fashionable mock to the workforce.
J.J. McCarthy placed on a present on the NFL Mix and it’s solely doable — possibly even possible — that he goes within the prime 10 of the 2024 NFL draft. He most definitely received’t final till decide No. 39 however he did on this simulation.
Additionally notable, we ran simulations on Professional Soccer Community and McCarthy went as excessive as No. 11 however as little as No. 35 (that simulation had AI trades enabled).
We actually didn’t anticipate Adisa Isaac to be obtainable at this spot. In each different simulation we’ve run, he was all the time taken earlier than decide No. 47. For no matter purpose, he was obtainable this time round and the Giants land an excellent edge rusher to pair with Kayvon Thibodeaux.
This spot has been barren for the Giants in each simulation we’ve run. Group wants merely don’t meet the obtainable expertise and with no trades permitted, it left us choosing a second broad receiver for the second straight time. On this case, Brenden Rice was the highest obtainable wideout. The son of Jerry Rice advised reporters on the NFL Mix that he would like to play for the Giants.
We mentioned it earlier than, we’ll say it once more: Audric Estime, a New York native, is a 5-foot-11, 227-pound energy again. Assuming the Giants go along with extra of a rotation in 2024, he would offer a novel factor to the backfield together with his persistence and North-South operating model. He’s not going to interrupt a bit one and out-run speedy defenders and he’ll want to enhance as a receiver, however in short-yardage conditions, Estime can be a very good one to have.
The Giants are going to spend money on the free agent guard market however that shouldn’t stop them from including depth within the draft. After his efficiency on the NFL Mix, Cooper Beebe is probably not obtainable at this spot but when he’s, it’s a possible steal for the Giants.
Daijahn Anthony is a strong participant able to taking snaps at security and nickel. He’s an enormous hitter with good man protection expertise and is quick sufficient to play excessive. His recreation wants some work however as soon as issues decelerate for him, he has the potential to be a top quality NFL starter or above-average backup.
