New York Giants Mock Draft – Fifth Round

Miami (OH). Sterling Weatherford. 144. player. 31. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. FS

Having a collection of versatile defenders can make life easier for a defensive coordinator to match up with different opponents. One potential late round gem for the Giants is Weatherford, a free safety for Miami of Ohio that can also slide down to play linebacker if necessary.

With Jabrill Peppers set to test free agency, adding a guy like Weatherford can help the Giants maintain quality depth in their secondary, which was the defense’s strength a year ago. Weatherford also brings tremendous intangibles and competitiveness, attributes that are good qualities to help transform a locker room that has been besieged by losing in recent years.

173. 31. Scouting Report. OG. Tulsa. Chris Paul. player. Pick Analysis

This pick comes to New York in a trade from the Baltimore Ravens and they use it to take a flyer on an athletic offensive lineman out of Tulsa. Paul has no relation to the All-Star NBA point guard of the same name.

New York Giants Mock Draft – Sixth Round

Scouting Report. Stanford. Tanner McKee. 181. 31. Pick Analysis. QB. player

Schoen has already committed to building around Daniel Jones this season, which is a wise decision since this year’s quarterback crop leaves something to be desired. McKee does have some good traits that make this a decent flyer for a developmental backup.

New York Giants Mock Draft – Seventh Round

The Giants do not currently own a seventh-round pick after trading theirs to the Cincinnati Bengals to land offensive lineman Billy Price.
