The New York Giants have nine selections in the 2022 NFL draft and general manager Joe Schoen would like to use all of them (if not acquire even more). But that’s not the approach Lance Zierlein took for the Giants in his first mock draft of the year.
Instead of staying put at No. 5 overall or even potentially trading back, Zierlein actually has the Giants surrendering picks to trade up in order to select NC State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu at No. 3 overall.
PROJECTED TRADE WITH TEXANS
The Giants move up in a deal with the Texans to ensure they land Ekwonu. He would give the team a tackle/guard option with a nasty playing demeanor and huge upside.
