Giants NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Daniel Jones gets another weapon in Jaylen Waddle
NY Post
The Giants only have six picks in the 2021 NFL Draft and so they need to make every one of them count. They own the No. 11 overall selection, two picks in the sixth round but no picks in the fifth or seven rounds. So, forecasting a seven-round Mock Draft only takes the Giants through the first six rounds. For this first Giants Mock Draft, we will use the Pro Football Focus draft simulator. Away we go.
In this iteration, the two top offensive tackles, Penei Sewell (Dolphins at No. 6) and Rayshawn Slater (Cowboys at No. 10) are off the board, as is TE Kyle Pitts (Panthers at No. 8) and WR DeVonta Smith (Bengals at No. 5). The Giants love Waddle anyway, making this an easy pick, as far as where they value the player on their draft board. They think about the pass rushers out there and also discuss where Waddle fits, with Kenny Golladay signed in free agency. Ultimately, they decide Waddle fits anywhere they need him to be in their passing offense as an electric catch-and-run weapon. He is only 5-foot-10 but can line up outside, in the slot or in the backfield and once he has the ball in his hands, good luck trying to chase him down.
The Colts are tired of Anthony Richardson.
The NFL’s most explosive offense resides in Detroit.
The STORY, as I’ve heard it, is that Kenny Atkinson realized his Nets days were numbered after a team meeting called by himself, the coach.
The Rangers sent Matt Rempe to Hartford for a couple of AHL games under the guise of believing it was the most beneficial thing for the 6-foot-8 ½ forward at that moment in time.
With their backs thrown against the wall, the Yankees are not responding with desperation. They will opt for the arm with rest rather than the arm with the reputation.
Tom Brady raised some eyebrows with his commentary while calling the Bills-Seahawks game on Fox Sports on Sunday.
Even though the Nets are just three games into the season, Dennis Schroder is already reflecting on what his time in Brooklyn has meant to him.
D.J. Reed can feel the fans’ pain. He, too, believes the Jets should be much better than 2-6.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Jets dropped their fifth game in a row on Sunday, this one a stunning 25-22 loss to the lowly Patriots. Here are some thoughts and observations from the game:
Perhaps it was wishful thinking, or just trying to will it into existence.
