The NFL mock draft season is in full swing and lots of the consultants have the New York Giants specializing in bolstering their punchless offense.
Within the newest mock from NFL.com, deputy editor Gennaro Filice sees the Giants augmenting their vast receiving corps by deciding on LSU’s Malik Nabers with the No. 6 general decide on this spring’s NFL draft.
Ten years in the past, the Giants drafted a playmaking receiver out of LSU who checked in proper round 6 ft tall and 200 kilos. Asking the eerily related Nabers to duplicate Odell Beckham Jr.’s spectacular burst onto the NFL scene (SEE: 1,300-plus yards and double-digit touchdowns in every of his first three seasons) is a tall order, however the 20-year-old would undoubtedly give Brian Daboll’s passing assault a essential jolt of electrical energy.
Nabers is the most recent in an extended line of nice receivers to come back out of Baton Rouge. The Giants can solely hope they’re getting the subsequent OBJ, Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase.
There nonetheless is the problem of who shall be on the opposite finish of the passes that shall be supposed for Nabers, nevertheless. Daniel Jones remains to be rehabbing his knee, Tyrod Taylor is headed without spending a dime company and Tommy DeVito is, properly, clearly backup materials in the intervening time.
