It’s NFL mock draft season, so get ready for the onslaught over the next three weeks.
In his latest three-round mock, Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar predicts a wild time in Kansas City later this month with surprises and trades galore.
As for the New York Giants, Farrar has Big Blue basically sticking to the script, staying in their lane, and taking the best players that fall to them instead of filling some more pressing needs.
Round 1, Pick 25: Zay Flowers, wide receiver, Boston College
The Giants got receiver Parris Campbell via free agency and tight end Darren Waller vis trade this offseason, which is good news for perhaps the NFL’s most receiver-light roster. Head coach and offensive shot-caller Brian Daboll would love a receiver like Flowers, who combines track speed and outstanding release ability to confound cornerbacks of every type.
The Giants have met with Flowers and do have interest, so this is a very possible scenario. As stated, the Giants need a home run hitter and Flowers is a player who can score from any spot on the field.
Round 2, Pick 57: BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU
Why not? What’s better than having one Ojulari brother on your roster? Having two.
The Giants met with Ojulari at the NFL Scouting Combine and have familiarity with him through his brother, Azeez. BJ is a solid player and has stud potential. It’s a novel idea to have bookend brothers but this pick would have suited the Giants better if they would have used it on a center or a cornerback.
Round 3, Pick 89: DeMarvion Overshown, linebacker, Texas
Interesting player as Overshown is a former safety-turned-linebacker. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale runs his defense through his safeties and this pick, who many might not see the benefit of, would give Wink an additional big body to use as a quasi-backer in his scheme.
