Mock Draft 3.0 (Ginger King)

LFG! The Giants just got the Draft party started early! A rare player for Top 10 pick…maybe the last time since Randy Moss was traded to the Raiders (don’t quote me cause I’m still on a high from this trade). Anyway, this is a huge move for the Giants and the Harbaugh era. Let’s see how it plays out in my Mock 3.0.

Not much change at the top. Giants go all in with Ohio State defense with Sonny Styles AND Caleb Downs. Walking away with the best LB and Safety is an absolute home run. The Giants haven’t had two Top 10 picks ever [check notes] since 2022, and that couldn’t have gone wrong [check notes again, realizes that was Kavon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal]. Anyway, you can’t mess that up twice in 4 years, right? In a (somewhat) surprise, the Browns take Spencer Fano as the first OL. Scouts are all over the place with Fano, but we think he’s the most prototypical tackle in the Draft.

With Downs and McCoy off the board, the Cowboys go to the next best secondary player with Dillon Thieneman. Mauigoa falling seems more likely…he’s projected as a Guard, and that usually means outside the Top 10. Kenyon Sadiq continues to rise. Picks 16-20 would be the dream picks for all of these teams, filling both need and value.

No Ty Simpson, as the Steelers just can’t pass up Vega Ioane (a name that continues to rise). Ty’s best chance for the first is for a team to trade back into the first round (looking at you, Arizona). Browns doubling down on OL seems unlikely, but protecting your (pro-bowl) quarterback is a must. It seems more and more likely that receivers will be there for K.C. and Miami at that back end of the first.

Don’t worry, we’re still processing all the latest draft news. We’ll be back with our final mock later this week, as well as our always popular Draft Day Drinking Game!
