ESPN's Jordan Reid releases 7-round mock draft
The Giants shook up the first round of the draft with their weekend trade of Dexter Lawrence as they picked up their second top 10 pick, No. 10, to go with their fifth overall pick.
Mock draft season was already going to be heating up this week with the draft a mere few days away, but the trade has now added another layer to the craziness.
ESPN's Jordan Reid just came out with his latest predictions for the draft, with this mock going all seven rounds.
Here are his projections for the Giants' eight picks.
Pick at No. 5: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State
Analysis: "John Harbaugh teams have historically had a commanding presence at middle linebacker. There hasn't been an off-ball linebacker drafted in the top five since 2019 (Devin White), but Styles is a rare linebacker prospect in a draft class that lacks true high-end options at high-leverage positions. Styles' size, instincts, movement ability and continued development make him an ideal fit in the middle of the Giants' defense."
Pick at No. 10: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State
Analysis: "The Giants added another top-10 pick over the weekend in the Dexter Lawrence II trade, and they can use it to keep addressing the defense. It has been nearly a decade since a safety was picked in the top 10 (Jamal Adams, 2017), but Downs is fully worthy of breaking that streak. He is one of the smartest football players I've ever studied, and he has the versatility and sure tackling skills to complement that intelligence. He trusts his coverage instincts, allowing him to routinely make plays against the pass and in run support. Downs would be a perfect addition to John Harbaugh's defense."

Pick at No. 37: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson
