In the lead-up to the NFL Draft, the anticipation and intrigue surrounding the New York Giants' picks have been building. With the release of their final mock draft, the Giants have made some exciting selections that address the team's needs and secure key positions.

The Giants' first three mock drafts showed a focus on appeasing both the quarterback and wide receiver crowds. However, their final mock draft took a different approach, with a deeper consideration of the team's actual needs.

Speculations suggest that the first three picks of the draft will likely be quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye. The Giants, aiming to secure a top target, decide against drafting a quarterback, as J.J. McCarthy is taken off the board in a trade-up scenario. With Marvin Harrison Jr. selected, the Giants seize the opportunity to pick an exceptional wide receiver in Nabers, whose ability to separate and excel after the catch makes him an exciting addition to the offense.

Addressing their need for defensive support, the Giants prioritize selecting Lassiter, a talented cornerback. With good size and the ability to excel in both man and zone coverages, Lassiter is expected to have a chance to start right away, complementing Deonte Banks and adding depth to the secondary.

The Giants then turn their attention to the running back position, recognizing the need for options following Saquon Barkley's departure to the Eagles. The selection of Wright, known for his big-play potential and impressive 7.4 yards per carry average in 2023, provides a new dynamic to the Giants' backfield.

In the later rounds, the Giants take a chance on Pratt, a quarterback with potential. While he may start as a backup, Pratt's athleticism and track record as a four-year starter make him an interesting prospect for head coach Brian Daboll to develop.

To reinforce the offensive line, the Giants add Foster late in the draft. With his impressive size and experience as a three-year starter, Foster brings valuable depth to a position that the team struggled with last season.

Lastly, the Giants address the safety position by selecting Taylor-Demerson. Despite his smaller stature, Taylor-Demerson has proven to be a ball-hawk, recording seven interceptions over the past two seasons. He is expected to contribute not only as a depth player in the secondary but also on special teams.

The Giants' final mock draft showcases their strategic approach to address key positions and strengthen the team for the upcoming season. Exciting additions like Nabers and Lassiter, along with solidifying the running back and offensive line, give Giants fans hope for a competitive year ahead.
