Mock Draft Tracker 10.0: Free agency shake-up?

Nick Baumgardner, The Athletic

Pick: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame

Analysis: “Alt (6-7, 322) will be OT1 on some boards after a fantastic junior season with the Irish. He still moves like the 220-pound tight end he was in high school.”

Gordon McGuinness, Pro Football Focus

Pick: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Analysis: “Odunze rounds out a three-quarterback, three-receiver start to this mock draft, giving the Giants a potential true No. 1 wide receiver. Odunze dropped just 3.2% of the catchable passes thrown his way this past season, while his 2.93 yards per route run average ranked eighth among his classmates.”

Trevor Sikkema, Pro Football Focus

Pick: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Analysis: “The Giants will be in the trade-up market for a quarterback, but if they stick at No. 6, I think it’s a receiver over an offensive lineman since they brought in a few veterans in free agency to give them good flexibility at tackle and guard. From what I have heard, Odunze has been acing interviews on top of his excellent NFL scouting combine performance. His size would add something new to the Giants’ starting receiver lineup.”

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “Offensive line could be a consideration here, but the Giants opt for Nabers, a big-play receiver who is a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball.”

Connor Livesay, The 33^rd Team

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “Malik Nabers adds much-needed explosiveness, reliability and big-play ability for a group that has lacked all of those traits from a wide receiver in some time.”

Keith Sanchez, The Draft Network

Pick: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

Analysis: “The Giants find themselves in the best position possible as they were able to stay patient, didn’t give up any draft capital to move up, and drafted their quarterback of the future in Jayden Daniels. Daniels is a true dual-threat quarterback that I believe Brian Daboll will be able to develop and be creative with his play-calling, finally making this Giants offense an exciting one to watch.”

Damian Parson, The Draft Network

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “OT or WR? With four QBs selected in front of them, the Giants must select an impact player to help elevate Daniel Jones. Malik Nabers will give him a dynamic and explosive run-after-catch threat to pair with Darren Waller and the rest of their weapons. A new potential WR1–OBJ 2.0?”

Connor Rogers, NBC Sports

Pick: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

Analysis: “Daniels’ electric running ability and vertical passing is a great fit with Daboll, who unlocked both of those aspects while working with Josh Allen a few years ago in Buffalo.”

Chris Trapasso, CBS Sports

Pick: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan

Analysis: “I can’t see Joe Schoen leaving this first round without a quarterback. McCarthy has sky-high upside.”

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “Upgrading the offense has to be a priority this offseason.”

Ryan Fowler, The Draft Network

Pick: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Analysis: “New York has to figure out their future at QB, but Rome Odunze would immediately provide a WR1 for either Daniel Jones or Drew Lock. He sits hip-to-hip with Marvin Harrison Jr. on a few teams’ boards.”

Joe Broback, Pro Football Network

Pick: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State

Analysis: “We’re already seeing Marvin Harrison Jr.’s draft stock drop a little bit with more people supporting guys like Rome Odunze and Keon Coleman, but New York’s fine with that. Whether you think Harrison is the best receiver or not, one thing’s for sure: the kid can ball.”

Brentley Weissman, The Draft Network

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “The speedy Malik Nabers would be a great addition to an offense that is in major need of playmakers.”

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “Nabers’ raw speed is still an understated part of his game, but don’t be surprised to see a 40 time around 4.40 seconds or faster.”

Pick: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan

Analysis: “Yes, despite his relatively low usage in the passing game at Ann Arbor – where he was surrounded by a tremendous supporting cast on both sides of the ball – his stock seems to continue skyrocketing. Why? Demeanor, accuracy, leadership, athleticism, high ceiling, good decision-making. And he’s a winner (27-1 record with the Wolverines).”

Will Helms, Pro Football Network

Pick: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Analysis: “He played through injuries in 2023 and still flashed dominance. Even with Darren Waller on the roster, Bowers makes so much sense in New York.”

Cynthia Frelund, NFL Network

Pick: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Analysis: “Odunze is my WR2 by the slimmest of margins. In fact, his contested-catch ability, as well as his body control, ranks in the top 20 percentile in a 10-season sample. I also cannot believe my models didn’t choose an O-lineman here either, as it is an area of big need. That should tell you how much my evaluations love Odunze.”

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “Nabers doesn’t have the route tree of Marvin Harrison or Rome Odunze, but he’s lightning-fast, has excellent hands, and is just as effective on the outside as in the slot.”

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “Nabers’ game is quite similar to that of former Bayou Bengal Odell Beckham Jr., so Giants fans should appreciate his toughness, strong hands and top-notch route running.”

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “If the Giants are going to run it back with Daniel Jones, they might as well give him a true No. 1 wide receiver for the first time in his career. Nabers has the talent to give the G-Men an element they have missed since Odell Beckham Jr.’s heyday.”

Marcus Mosher, The 33^rd Team

Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Analysis: “In nearly any other draft class, Malik Nabers would be the first receiver drafted and a lock to be a top-five pick. But because of Harrison Jr., he “slides” to No. 6. It’s very reminiscent of when Julio Jones fell to No. 6 in the 2011 NFL Draft because A.J. Green was selected at No. 4 by the Bengals.”

Tony Catalina, Pro Football Network

Pick: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State

Analysis: “The Giants could easily go and get Malik Nabers and add a true playmaking WR here to help Daniel Jones on the outside. Instead, they take OT2 and add more help in the trenches. You can’t throw the ball if you can’t protect, and the Giants understand that with the selection of Olu Fashanu in this 2024 NFL Mock Draft.”
