The 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl and 2025 Senior Bowl have now come and gone, shaking up participant rankings and evaluations forward of the 2025 NFL draft. The identical factor will happen throughout and after the 2025 NFL Mix, leaving us in considerably of a grey space for now.
Which means it’s time for one more four-round mock draft!
As regular, we used the Professional Soccer Focus mock draft simulator for this train and left all settings on default. There have been no trades, we managed solely the New York Giants and restricted it to 4 rounds.
Right here’s how issues performed out:

Each quarterbacks had been off the board and the selection of Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, and Mason Graham was left. For common supervisor Joe Schoen, it might be a wonderful downside to have — all three gamers are Day 1 influence starters.
After neglecting the inside line of defense to disastrous penalties a yr in the past, the Giants add Graham and pair him with nostril sort out Dexter Lawrence for one of the best 1-2 inside punch within the NFL. The potential dominance is off the chart and the workforce’s run protection can be instantly improved.

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is on the rise and seems to have surpassed Jalen Milroe within the eyes of NFL draft insiders and analysts following the Senior Bowl. He’s possible pushed himself into the Spherical 1 dialog and should not even fall this far, which is humorously ironic for causes you’ll perceive later on this mock.
Finally, the Giants land their quarterback of the longer term with out having to go on a generational expertise at No. 3 general. They’ll nonetheless have to discover a bridge in free company however this may be a perfect consequence.

Many mock drafts now have Florida State cornerback Azareye’h Thomas going within the second spherical, together with some to the Giants. There’s additionally a perception that he could have catapulted himself into first-round dialog, however in PFF’s simulation, he was nonetheless in some way accessible in Spherical 3.
That is an unlikely state of affairs, however you are taking what you may get within the simulation world. This might be a steal for the Giants.

Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson is a monster of a person, standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 332 kilos. He’s additionally versatile, with expertise at each left sort out and proper sort out — the latter of which might be his place in New York.
Crenshaw-Dickson’s inventory is prone to rise significantly if he attends and participates within the NFL Mix. His measurables are off the charts and he’s additionally put some good movie collectively.
Crenshaw-Dickson is a greater go protector than run blocker however is above common in each areas.

The worth-need mixture was missing at this level within the simulation and with no trades, the selection was to overdraft a participant or discover some worth at a secondary place of want. We stay adamant that the Giants will add one other working again this offseason, so we went with Brashard Smith’s explosiveness.
The Giants battle to generate massive performs and Smith would definitely assist alleviate that in a reserve position. Give him a crease and watch the yards pile up.
And this highlights the flaw in PFF’s grading/rating system. Giving the Giants an “F” for touchdown Dart within the second spherical is what we referenced earlier. Even Graham being given a “B” grade is considerably comical, given his stage of expertise and potential NFL dominance.
We don’t run these simulations for the ultimate PFF grade; we run them to see if we might enhance New York’s roster if we had been in Schoen’s footwear. We like this draft rather more than PFF does.
