Kiper's latest 3 Round Mock

Sky King : 4/15/2024 1:21 pm

Quote:

6. New York Giants

Yates' pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

A trade up was contemplated, but a prohibitive price made such a move less appealing, and Nabers' explosive traits would be such a welcome addition to the Giants' offense. His ability to stress defenses both vertically and after the catch makes him one of the best players in the class.

Projected trade: Giants see an opportunity

Yates: All right, Mel, my turn to propose a deal. One of the top six QBs is falling here, and the Giants might have to get ahead of other teams to get him. Here's what I have:

Giants get: Nos. 38 and 146

Titans get: Nos. 47 and 70

Kiper: Yeah, Daniel Jones had a tough season, and now he is recovering from a serious knee injury. I think this makes a lot of sense.

38. New York Giants (via mock trade with TEN)

Yates' pick: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon

Nix's accuracy and processing speed should translate well to the NFL, and he would give New York yet another option under center.

It's Mel Kiper Jr. AND Field Yates.

Nix

Is a hard pass for me. Go with MPJ and call it a day.

I am not a Nix fan

Ned In Atlanta : 4/16/2024 2:32 am : link

but if Daboll is and the cost is only pick 70 then sure, why not

Would much prefer Penix over Nix

Nabers and Penix would be a sensational draft for Schoen.

I don't believe Nix solves the QB problem

view him as more of the same with lighter tools than Jones.

Nix production in college is on a whole other level

Metnut : 4/16/2024 2:31 pm : link

compared to DJ. Add in that the price is only day 2 picks, and I think it's a HR draft when they can add Nabers too.

Would be pretty easy to take another QB not too long from now if Nix didn't work out.

Nix had an array of talent around him

JonC : 4/16/2024 2:41 pm : link

and an offense largely built on one read and throw. There are other stats out that indicate an ordinary arm and suspect vertical passing ability, etc. He's a buyer beware.

Penix went right after Nix in his mock, the Raiders traded up for him. If you sub Nix for Penix and Nabers for Odunze, I would be happy.

Yep. Exactly what I see.
