It’s almost over, folks. Mock draft season, that is. In a little more than a week, we’ll have the real NFL draft to kick around but for now, let’s talk about what the Giants will do with their two top 10 picks next week in Las Vegas.
The Draft Network’s Kyle Crabbs has the right idea by using the fifth and seventh overall selections to upgrade the Giants’ ability to protect their quarterback and get after their opponents.
Round 1, Pick 5: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama
Why I would do it: Neal has played right guard, right tackle, and left tackle over the last three seasons. In an offense that desperately needs everything on the line outside of left tackle Andrew Thomas, Neal having that kind of versatility and experience gives him plenty of paths to success. Ideally, you don’t draft a lineman here to not play left tackle but this is a decade-long investment, not a one-and-done.
