A top offensive playmaker for the Giants at No. 11?
In their latest mock draft penned by Ben Linsey, Pro Football Focus agrees, offer a dream scenario that might please a lot of Giants fans if it were to come to fruition.
That scenario has Alabama s Devonta Smith falling to the Giants at No. 11, Linsey s justification for the pick as follows:
The Giants likely went into the 2020 season feeling content with their offensive weapons and made no real moves to add to their receiving corps. It’s hard to imagine that being the case again in 2021, so Smith falling to 11th overall would be an ideal situation for New York.
There are plenty of cornerbacks to choose from in every round of he draft should the Giants be looking to upgrade the depth at this position. Let s take a look at what Stanford senior Paulson Adebo has to offer.

Giants general manager Dave Gettleman has a big job ahead of him that’s certain to be filled with many sleepless nights. The most significant cause of angst is the uncertainty regarding the salary cap and how much he will have to spend.
Solving some of their needs via free agency could depend on negotiations with some of their own free agents. Will, for example, they be able to lock up Leonard Williams to a multi-year deal that carries a lower first-year cap number, or will they have to devote an estimated $19 million to the franchise tag?
Will they have room to re-sign Dalvin Tomlinson, or have they already decided to let another young defensive interior lineman walk away as they’ve historically done with guys like Cornelius Griffin, Linval Joseph, and Johnathan Hankins?
