As we get closer to the draft, the offseason picture is starting to clear up after the initial surge of FA.
We may add a few more FA's (hopefully), but I think the main acquisitions are done for now.
With that said, I've listed 10 prospects (each round) that could be playing in blue next year.
NOT an exhaustive list, of course, but good solid players we could realistically have a shot at each pick/round.
I'll list my "mock" at the end, but this exercise's intention is to start good discussions amongst BBI, not give my vision for the team.
We have a chance to add 10 really good players, and I can't wait for year 2 under Joe/Dabs.
I use NFL Mock Draft Simulator for my mock's and will be using their rankings (round by round) to select the players...I know, I know, "no way player X falls to pick Y" or the opposite opinion, either way I wanted to pick a singular source for the rankings, so send any complaints to their website :0)
I will use different websites/sources for actual player breakdowns, highlights etc, but again this exercise is for pure discussion and to potentially help out any BBI'ers that don't nerd out on the draft like me :)
Hopefully this is helpful to some...and if not, oh well.
Go Giants!! Fun time to be a fan, finally!
*YES, THIS TOOK MORE HOURS TO CREATE THAN I'D LIKE TO ADMIT*
Sorry, it's quite a lot of info, but again, if it helps discussion around the draft, then it was worth all the coding/finger pecking...Cheers!! :)

NFL MockDraft - (
New Window )
Johnston
Schmitz
Ricks
Well….I’d be pretty excited
I’ll post a mock soon.
Not only does this exercise show there will be good choices for each pick, it looks like there will be trade down opportunities.
Wouldn’t mind adding extra picks as this draft unfolds.
Benton could be Lawrence's eventual replacement (though this year maybe a year or two too early, hopefully).
Thanks Bill!
I’ll post a mock soon.
My pleasure buddy, Brenton Cox has all the talent to be a top flight player, but he was kicked of Florida this past season for throwing a punch during a game...not sure how deep the issues go, but if he can mature emotionally...steal in the area of the draft

very true...
I will try to post this again closer to the draft...with any pertinent updates
Rice reminds me of Hakeem Nicks. a strong, explosive 6-1, 204 with sticky hands, a big catch radius, RAC ability and plays faster than his timed speed. In fact, both ran a 4.51 at the Combine. Rice battled a toe injury throughout 2022 yet finished with 96 catches, an SMU record 1,355 yards and 10 TDs.
The Giants sent Schoen, Daboll, Kafka, Wink and Jerome Henderson to the Senior Bowl where Rice got off to a slow start and struggled at times but improved considerably by week's end. And 28 teams were at SMU's Pro Day although I don't know if the Giants were among them. Rice is projected to go between rounds 1 and 2 and I can't fathom him not being on their radar.
There are a couple good Rice highlights on YT, here's one of them. Rice should be in this conversation.
Rashee Rice Highlights - ( New Window )
haha, sorry...I triple checked, but you're right haha, that and I misspelled "Boise " in another spot :)
Cheers!
Rice kinda disappointed me during Senior Bowl, but I think you are spot on with the similarities between Nicks and Rice. I wouldn't be mad if we took Rice in round 3, he is a very intriguing talent
appreciate that Col!
...I'm like a pre-K student to Sy's PhD, haha. Definitely go with whatever Sy says hahah

Here is a bonus post on Rice, just for you. I agree that he should be in contention round 2 or 3

I'll admit...he's my favorite pick for us at #26....I think he might be a special player in Wink's system...all upside for this young man
My sense here is that the Giants already pretty much know what they want to do with the #1 pick and that's get THE best receiver option they can. That's in fact the way teams draft. And the only real question is whether they will be comfortable thinking that who gets to 25 will fit the bill or will they have to trade up. The problem with JSN is that is very likely to go to Houston at #12 which may be too rich to jump. So does Flowers emerge as a 2-3 option.
And they will likely do the same in the second round, although it is not quite as clear which particular position will be the target although either a CB or defensive line would be a pretty good guess. And if you wanted a sleeper type position how about the OL and NO not C. But more a swing G/T type like Cody Mauch who would give you a little insurance if Neal doesn't pick up his game because if he doesn't you just can't leave him out there! and with a guy like Mauch you get a versatile player who coyuld also play and start at both C and OG if need be (although not necessarily at the same time!)

As I have said elsewhere, Mauch is really high on my short list if Gonzalez, Witherspoon, Porter, Addison, JSN, and Hyatt are off the board. That also assumes nobody unexpected falls to our pick.

Thank you sir! Totally understand, good point… I’m just happy to finally have some faith in our FO… haha. Love your content sir! Cheers
Thanks and I have some reading to do!
It will be interesting to re-read this on Draft Day - mods, give this man a sticky!

This is a great thread, shock. Awesome job. But for the record, the Giants pick is 25. I’ve seen you mention pick 26 a couple of times including the OP. Not a big deal, just sayin…

I never see mentioned who I can't imagine the Giants aren't scouting closely: Rashee Rice, WR, SMU
