As a Giants fan, there are at least 4 things not to like about this Mock Draft:
(1) Due to our strength of schedule, we are picking 9th which is four slots behind the Jets who have the same record.
(2) The Giants miss out on two top QBs: Shedeur Sanders (#2 to Carolina) and Cam Ward (#4 to Miami).
(3) There's nothing wrong per se about the Giants selecting a very fine OT out of Texas (Kelvin Banks, Jr.), but mocking him to the Giants at #9 underscores what an utter failure Joe Schoen has been in trying to re-build the Giants O-line via the Draft.
(4) With the 40th pick, the Giants select QB Carson Beck who is not exactly off to a scintillating start, and drafting a running back at #71 (Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson) fills a position that represents the least of the Giants worries.
It's difficult to find a silver lining in this mess of a franchise, but at least we can be assured of one thing: The idea that the Giants will be picking as low as #9 is absurd. This team looks like it's tanking so a Top 3 pick is practically guaranteed. The only question I have is whether or not Joe Schoen will be making the selections and, if he manages to hold onto his job, will Brian Daboll be leading the 2025 Draft Class onto the field?

I like what I’ve seen from him but truthfully need to watch more of him, but I’ve been impressed with what I have seen.
"Still at Step #1"
Exactly!
Toney has been his worst pick by far! Though outside of Azeez the '21 draft was not good at all. Hyatt is not trending like we all had hoped.
Depending on the season Joe will have to make a deal to get a QB, he has to get it done while not dismantling the D. Hopefully they are even better in '25 with the young 2ndary having logged some serious minutes.
Joe's FA moves have been iffy overall though the recent OL additions have helped his score a bit and so has the addition of Burns. However like Jones he needs to improve and show some consistency. After we are mathematically eliminated from post-season play he better have the garage sale of his life.
The Panthers are worse, but the. We are on par with any other team.

Umm, Toney & Ojulari were Gettleman picks. Schoen became GM in ‘22.
