Ian Valentino of PFN released a 7-round mock on Saturday

KingBlue : 11/26/2023 11:14 am

Valentino is PFN’s Director of College Scouting. This ia a full mock draft with selections for all teams. 5 QB's selected in top 10. Valentino picks a quarterback for the Giants at No. 5...(Ha Ha, this should be fun)

1) Chicago Bears: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
2) Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
3) New England Patriots: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
4) Chicago Bears: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama
5) New York Giants: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon
6) Tennessee Titans: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
7) Washington Commanders: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
8) Atlanta Falcons: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
9) Green Bay Packers: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
10) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

GIANTS DRAFT

5. Bo Nix, QB, Oregon: The New York Giants might feel like the New York Jets did when the latter lost out on Trevor Lawrence and opted to settle on Zach Wilson, but the Giants would be making out much better than their rival. Bo Nix has been terrific the last two seasons, boasting efficiency numbers that are almost hard to believe.

36. Cooper Beebe (OG, Kansas State)
53. J.T. Tuimoloau (EDGE, Ohio State)
69. Xavier Legette (WR, South Carolina)
100. MarShawn Lloyd (RB, USC)
133. Brendan Rice (WR, USC)
164. Kitan Oladapo (S, Oregon State)

PFN Mock Draft - ( New Window )

Jayden Daniels

Jarvis : 11/26/2023 11:16 am : link

Would be the better pick in this situation (i think…like who ever really knows)

reaching for QBs

Chip : 11/26/2023 11:19 am : link

is always a mistake

Drake Maye laid another egg last night in Raleigh, and his demeanor on

Spider56 : 11/26/2023 11:20 am : link

the sideline looked like he didn’t even want to play. I know, just 1 game but he’s continued to regress under Mack Brown.

I know Nix has been great. But his time at Auburn is burned into my brain.

I'm a big Nix fan, but

speedywheels : 11/26/2023 11:23 am : link

I'd take Daniels over him in a heartbeat...

Nix on Nix

Sec 103 : 11/26/2023 11:23 am : link

If they selected Nix

Jay on the Island : 11/26/2023 11:38 am : link

Over Daniels I would lose my mind.

Daniels on the board...

BillKo : 11/26/2023 11:38 am : link

....I think we go there.

If the Giants Take Nix

Bernie : 11/26/2023 11:50 am : link

Then I give up. Might as well continue to roll with DJ if that is the path they r thinking about going.

Going with QB Daniels in Rd1

MarvelousMike : 11/26/2023 11:51 am : link

for the two 2nd Rd picks its WR/Edge or Edge/WR with OG going in Rd3. Still can get quality OG in third but need Rd2 to go after much needed upgrades for Edge & WR.

Switch out Daniels for nix

Mattman : 11/26/2023 11:55 am : link

And im very happy

Tuimoloau is a good compliment to kt

Beebe can be a good guard and I like the wr picks

Would like a 3t/5t though at some point

I like

VanillaVick : 11/26/2023 11:57 am : link

Leggette at 69. Dude is big and fast.

Swap Daniels in for Nix and that draft is a winner

PatersonPlank : 11/26/2023 12:00 pm : link

really like the K State G in Rd two and the 2 WRs

Nix is a 2nd day pick

logman : 11/26/2023 12:02 pm : link

at best.

This would be as bad as drafting Jones 6th

God

charlito : 11/26/2023 12:07 pm : link

Help the Giants if they pass on Jayden for Nix😔

I wouldn't pass on Daniels for Nix, but Nix can play

Go Terps : 11/26/2023 12:10 pm : link

Brenden Rice, WR, USC

KingBlue : 11/26/2023 12:13 pm : link

I believe that would be Jerry Rice's son.

Nix instead of Daniels?

Likely worse. We didn't pass on anyone except Haskins and Lock when we took Jones, and Daniels is a much better prospect than either of those players. And I like Nix.

It's impossible to know how skills from

arniefez : 11/26/2023 1:36 pm : link

college football will transfer to the NFL. But if the Giants are going to take a QB and Williams is off the board I hope they choose Daniels over any of the other QBs in this class. He is 6' 4" and I think he has a rare talent combination of arm talent and running ability. Durability might be a challenge with his build though.

Three yucks

JonC : 11/26/2023 1:53 pm : link

and you're out.

I suspect the Giants will take Sheneur Sanders

81_Great_Dane : 11/26/2023 3:00 pm : link

if the top two guys aren't available. I'm guessing Shoen and Daboll look at him and see their Josh Allen. And they can give him a year behind DJ and possibly DeVito to learn/develop.

After the two top QBs I have no idea who they should pick, but I have a hunch they'll like Sanders.

Ran the simulator on PFN today; Giants start at 6.

Angel Eyes : 11/27/2023 5:31 pm : link

6. QB Jayden Daniels, LSU (PFN is way down on him, they have him at 54)
37. Edge Laiatu Latu, UCLA
53. WR Xavier Legette, South Carolina
70. DT Ruke Orhorhoro, Clemson
101. OG Trevor Keegan, Michigan
134. S/Nickelback Hudson Clark, Arkansas
165. RB Carson Steele, UCLA

Latu is going top-10 if the medicals check out. He did retire once due to a neck injury, but he's been healthy ever since. The guy is a game-wrecker.

This happens EVERY YEAR on this site. The self-professed QB “experts” lock onto the top “measurables” guys and can’t let go.

Daniels is about 2 years from being a starting QB. He has insane measurables- but if you watch him play, the accuracy and decision making just aren’t there. We’ve been killing Jones on this site for years for those very faults- yet posters are once again making the same mistakes over and over.

Rinse Wash Repeat on this site.

Take Nix and never look back
