Mock draft simulator

It. It does give you a chance to see who is out there and when.

I used to do it all the time when I was 15 years old and the Giants were looking for Tittle’s replacement.

You can trade players in that one.

Bumper Pool? is that from the Key and Peele sketch?

are we going to sign Bismo Funyons to the practice squad?

zero chance Witherspoon is available at 25

WR and CB first and foremost. Your top three picks hit the mark. We have to improve those positions no matter what else. Then fill in other spots best you can. Nice job.

I don't disagree. Would be thrilled with him, Porter, Ringo or Gonzalez. If all are gone, I'd target WR and look to get a Ricks, Forbes, or Williams on Day 2.

If the top WR and CB are gone and they don't see value at 25, go Meyer if still there, LB, or G in Torrence. I believe in positional strength in targeting QB, OT, edge, WR, and CB early, but sometimes drafting at 25, you may just have to another position to get what you feel is an impact player.

I like to do Mock Draft's occasionally too. I never post because inevitably someone will post the "That Person" will never be there.
Truth is nobody knows, and it is for fun. Too many things will change before the draft. It is fun though.

they shut down First-pick?

Ended up with an additional 7th at a time where there was no clear BPA

25. Devon Witherspoon CB Illinois

57. Jalin Hyatt WR Tennessee

89. Jack Campbell LB Iowa

102. Keeanu Benton DT Wisconsin

128. Kenny McIntosh RB Georgia

163. Rashad Torrence II S Florida

208. Braeden Daniels OT Utah

219. Laiatu Latu EDGE UCLA

242. Tyson Bagent QB Shepherd

245. Kemari Averett TE Bethune Cookman

246. Viliami Fehoko EDGE San Jose State

254. Juice Scruggs OG Penn State

I find First-pick too unrealistic with the trade offers

Quote:

I don't particularly like going TE in the 1st.

It's pick 25, if the top TE falls, that's amazing value....assuming its a bluechip prospect. Outside of specials, almost no position should be eliminated at pick 25. The importance of QB's, WR's, CB's, OL and DL means great players will fall at other positions and present great value.

Would have liked a corner earlier.

Really?

I said the following: "if the top WR and CB are gone and they don't see value at 25, go Meyer if still there, LB, or G in Torrence. I believe in positional strength in targeting QB, OT, edge, WR, and CB early, but sometimes drafting at 25, you may just have to another position to get what you feel is an impact player."

The Giants are usually picking in the top 10-15. I believe in prioritizing drafting the higher value positions. I don't think it's particularly controversial. Schoen has mentioned that. Reese did that.

QB, OT, DE, CB, WR usually cost the most in FA, so I favor drafting them high. As noted above, drafting at 25 is different, and the Giants may find themselves looking at the 5th WR or 4th CB vs top 1 or 2 LB, top G, or top TE. In that scenario, I noted I have no problem going with that as BPA may very well be at one of those positions. I favor BPA with a strong bias towards the high dollar positions (QB, OT, DE, CB, WR)

Oddly this is how I learn which prospects I should start digging into every year. I'll do a bunch of mocks, look at all the names that keep popping up then go in and start looking at film.

Maybe one day I'll just start reading magazines or get a website subscription like a normal person, but this works for me for now.

Same. It's part of how I get introduced to some of the prospects as I do a little digging researching names. I also use the Fanspeak one. I did one using Drafttek Big Board. Note, I realize that most if not all these picks have no chance of being at the pick I took them, but this is an exercise to get to know players, it's for fun, and to spur discussion. This draft is admittedly highly unrealistic, as simulators always are. I already did 5 rounds because even 5 rounds is deeper than I want to go at this point. Here are my results:

Rd 1, Pick 25: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU - SIX corners taken by pick 25 robbing me of value (a theme in this entire draft, you'll notice I didn't get one through round 5, this is because value was never there, they were constantly overdrafted). Johnston though is a huge WR target with incredible size-speed ratio and big production. Easily slots in as #1 WR right away.

Rd 2, pick 57: O'Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida - Just incredible value here, Torrence is a monster who slots inside and will blow up people in the run game and anchors well in the pass block. My priority would rather be for a Center, but as with all my picks, not going to force anything.

Rd 3, pick 89: Tyree Wilson, Edge, Texas Tech - The silliness continues. Not a chance he goes this late, but since he was there, he would form a terrific tandem with Thibs and move Ojaluri to rotational and situational pass rusher, where he may be best suited.

Rd 3, pick 100: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College - I expect Flowers to go approximately 60 picks earlier than this. I double up here at the position because the value is so good, Flowers is versatile, can play the slot or the outside, is a perfect complement to Johnston, and may end up being the more dynamic pro. One of my favorite players in this draft, particularly for team fit in the Daboll system.

Rd 4, pick 128: DT Kobie Turner, Wake Forest - Another player who will likely be taken well before this spot, Turner has a tremendous motor, was named 3rd Team All-ACC. He has some pass rush ability, great agility, hustle player, really like him, can play the 3-tech or the 5-tech. I like him more as a complement to Leonard Williams on the other side than I do as an eventual replacement for Williams.

Rd 5, pick 162: RB Eric Gray, Oklahoma - Gray has a thick, compact frame, blends receiving ability with tremendous balance and agility. Has enough speed to occasionally go the distance, but will break enough long ones because of his dynamic ability to make guys miss in short quarters. Gray has the goods to be a lead back if the Giants part ways with Saquon, and would be a terrific third down back right away in the short-term.

Also considered Matthew Bergeron here, OT, Syracuse, as a value-swing tackle with upside, thought Gray was too good to pass up.

Need to upgrade dl, lb, IOL

JGM's have gone after skill positions how has that worked out

We are losing (?) in part for more than one reason. Part of that reason is not having a credible weapon on the outside that dictates coverage and can make big plays.

Part of it is trenches on both sides of the ball, yes.

A big part of it is quality depth at a lot of positions. But WR must be a priority in this draft. Because our offense relies on DJ's designed runs and non-designed runs, as well as Saquon (if he returns), but even if he doesn't, you have to have at least one player on the outside that can really hurt a defense to loosen up those boxes. Really the Giants need two receivers.
