When it comes to the Giants in 2024, mock drafts offer little consensus beyond three pressing needs for New York: offense, offense and more offense.
Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports suspects three quarterbacks will be going in the top three of the 2024 NFL Draft. With the Patriots taking Ohio State wide receiver and Heisman Trophy finalist Marvin Harrison Jr. at No. 4, Trapasso believes the Giants will select offensive tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu from Penn State.
Fashanu is widely considered the top tackle in the draft, and at just 21 years old, he still has room to grow. Many saw him as a top-10 pick in 2023 before returning to school where he was named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year by playing 324 snaps without giving up a sack.
New York signed left tackle Andrew Thomas to a record five-year, $117.5M extension in the offseason, which means Fashanu would have to battle Evan Neal, a first-round pick in 2022 for the right tackle job. Neal has disappointed in two years with the team, making Fashanu a logical choice with the No. 5 pick.
Nate Tice of Yahoo! Sports also believes the draft’s top-three quarterbacks will be gone before the Giants make their pick, but he sees the team getting some much-needed help at wide receiver with LSU’s Malik Nabers.
