Todd McShay September mock draft

As the NFL draft season approaches, NFL scouting departments are actively evaluating prospects, while front offices meticulously assess their squads. Draft analyst Todd McShay released his September Mock Draft, providing an opportunity to evaluate where the New York Giants stand heading into the season. The Giants are looking to rebuild from the offensive line out, with left tackle Trevor Goosby, a 325-pound 6-foot-7 prospect from Texas, seen as a prime fit for their physical, heavy-personnel offense.

Goosby's length, mass, and natural power make him a formidable force against opposing tackles, while his ability to create movement in the running game and potential to move to right tackle are notable.

McShay's mock draft hints at the Giants being in the market for new talent, as they have six quarterbacks projected in the first nine picks. However, he emphasizes the importance of focusing on the team's long-term needs and philosophy, rather than fixating on the prospect at hand. The Giants may find an opportunity to draft an offensive tackle in 2028 if Jermaine Eluemunor or JC Davis fail to develop, but for now, the team's primary priorities should be addressing their defensive needs, particularly at defensive tackle, cornerback, and wide receiver.

With multiple talented prospects available in these positions, the Giants could potentially draft higher in the draft order depending on their performance throughout the year.
