New York Giants 7 Round Mock Draft: Fleecing division rivals with trades, adding starters
By Ryan Messick
Round 2, Pick No. 45: TRADE
The Commanders wanted the pick, and if there’s anything we should learn from watching their franchise operate, when they want to make a trade with you – you listen.
Washington decided to fleece themselves, and we got a pretty good haul to move back two spots:
COMMANDERS GET: 45th Overall Pick (2nd round)
GIANTS GET: 47th Overall Pick (2nd round), 113th Overall Pick (4th round), 189th Overall Pick (6th round)
That’s 512 points of draft chart value we managed to scoop up while only giving up 450 points of value.
The gap is equivalent to a free mid-fourth-round pick!
Perhaps the best part? They did all of that for a running back! They took Kenneth Walker III.
I’m not at all a believer in expending significant draft capital on the running back position, given the short shelf life. So, if I were the GM and this deal happened, there would be some laughter in my war room when the Commanders made their pick.
Anyway, back to work…
