Colorado QB most-often selected player for Giants
Despite the presence of both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston the New York Giants roster, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders continues to be the dominant selection in our Giants mock draft tracker.
This week, Sanders was the choice at No. 3 in 34 of 75 mock drafts (45.3%).
One key thing to point out is that most of the mocks used this week were done prior to Wilson signing with the Giants. Still, many of the ones done post-Wilson signing with New York have the Giants taking Sanders. Opinions are split as to whether or not the Giants would, or should, select a quarterback at No. 3 overall.
There were two mock drafts this week in which the Giants got their quarterback in Round 1 via trade up.
Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports had the Giants move up to No. 2 with the Browns to select Sanders. He only surrendered a third-round pick to do so, and he did not specify which one (65 or 99).
Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports gave the Giants offensive tackle Armand Membou at No. 3, an outside the box selection. He then had the Giants trade to No. 26 with the Los Angeles Rams to select Jaxson Dart. The Giants parted with picks Nos. 65 and 105.
Interestingly, Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter was the position play most often selected for the Giants. He was the choice in 15 mock drafts (20%).
