Well, I guess I lied. Last week I said I was pretty much done with ‘scenario-driven’ mock drafts. This week, though, we have another scenario-driven mock draft for the New York Giants. Since the Minnesota Vikings traded up to acquire pick No. 23 in the first round they now have picks 11 and 23. It is apparent they are preparing to trade up for a quarterback, probably trying in fact to get ahead of the Giants. What, though, if the Giants at No. 6 were the Vikings’ trade partner? Would the Giants do that? I don’t know. But, hey, let’s run the scenario and see how the draft would turn out. I used the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator. I actually had to use the simulator’s ‘Force Trade’ function to make this happen. The deal:
Georgia
Texas
Notre Dame
Florida State
South Carolina
