Top 105 2021 NFL Draft Prospects
After coming up with a decent get with Andrew Thomas last year – despite overdrafting the OT at the 4 – and having a potentially solid all-around draft if a few of the parts progress – now it’s all about nailing the 11. There’s a decent pick in the second round at the 42, and a flier will be taken at the 76, but there’s no margin for error here. Get the 11 right, or the draft won’t work.
They need a pass rusher, but the 11 is a little high unless they overpay for Michigan’s Kwity Paye. The Giants are normally good at finding value up high – Thomas, to a point, and Daniel Jones aside – and this is where Micah Parsons should slide along with a slew of talented receivers.
The offensive line help can be had in the second round. There will be a few there for the taking at the 11, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go along with Thomas, but there should be too many other difference-makers there to ignore.
