Now that yours truly is back from the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, where I got to talk with several of the NFL Draft prospects, it’s time for me to start my weekly New York Giants mock drafts leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft. A reminder: Until the last couple of drafts I will be presenting scenarios. Sometimes, these will be exactly what I would do. Sometimes, they will simply be to present options and ways things could happen. Another reminder: I’m using simulators to do the other picks, and there will always be some weirdness. In this mock, George Karlaftis of Purdue went No. 2 to the Detroit Lions. I don’t see a world in which that really happens, but it did here and I just rolled with it. In this draft, I could have executed trades on every pick. I decided to do a baseline, three-round mock draft with no trades. I will move around the board in subsequent mocks. Let’s get started.
