ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay released a dueling two-round mock draft on Wednesday morning, and at No. 6 overall, they universally agree Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins is going to the New York Giants.
6. New York Giants
Kiper: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
I’m sticking with Haskins to the Giants, even though they have a gaping void in their edge rush. I wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t take a quarterback in Round 1, though.
McShay: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
This is a tough call, but you just have to think the Giants take a quarterback here. They do need pass-rushers, but I don’t see them opting for Montez Sweator Rashan Gary over taking care of their No. 1 problem.
At No. 17 overall, Kiper and McShay see things going differently. While they do agree it will be a defensive lineman, they disagree on who.
17. New York Giants (from Cleveland Browns)
Kiper: Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson
I gave New York a quarterback at No. 6, which means it has to address its pass rush with its other first-round pick. Ferrell is a prototypical 4-3 defensive end.
McShay: Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
Big Blue undoubtedly needs edge guys, but that whole line is really in shambles. The versatile Wilkins would be a good start in rebuilding the unit.
Finally, at No. 37 overall in Round 2, McShay and Kiper once again disagree on the Giants’ approach, but this time it’s a bit more pronounced.
37. New York Giants
Kiper: Cody Ford, G/OT, Oklahoma
This could be the best-case scenario for the Giants, who can stick Ford at right tackle, where he would be a mauler in the run game.
McShay: Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
Ya-Sin would likely start right away opposite Janoris Jenkins for an extremely shallow cornerback group.
Which of the two mock drafts would you prefer, Giants fans? Are you on Team Kiper, Team McShay, Gryffindor or Red Team?
