Tonight is the exact reason Mock's mean nothing

Starting Monday you will literally start seeing mock's for next year. Then we will finish the season and more mock's come out based on where the team finished. Then of course more with the combine, pro days and as you get closer to the draft.

I never look at them because all it takes is one dumb team to go with a reach pick or have a team like the Bears trade ahead of the Giants and the mock is messed up. Did any one of those drafts show the Giants taking Apple?

Complete waste of time. See you next April for the real thing.

Mocks are almost as stupid and annoying as rating someones fantasy football team.

why I don't bother with it anymore. I just watch the draft and read about the guys we pick. I used to love scouting these guys but got pissed off after seeing who we picked every year. Said to myself what a waste of my time.
You're wrong

I know from a friend who works with an NFL team (not in NY) that every single team in the NFL studies these mock drafts diligently to get an idea of what other teams could potentially be thinking.

These mocks, along with the leaks from within the Giants organization, led to two teams jumping ahead of us for our top two targets (Conklin & Floyd). It's easy to just dismiss mocks as nonsense but teams are well in tune and know which media members have sources within specific organizations.

This isn't the first draft it has screwed us and it won't be the last unless we fix what's broken.
