What if New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman decided he wanted to finally explore the trade market on draft day? He’s never done it — trading back, that is — so we decided to put ourselves in his shoes and just see what we could get in return for the No. 4 overall selection.
Using the Pro Football Network’s mock draft simulator, we not only traded back once, but twice, finding that there were still plenty of players on the board that could come in and help fortify the Giants’ roster.
Trade One
The Giants send the No. 4 overall selection to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for the No. 6 overall selection plus the Chargers’ 2020 third, fourth and fifth rounders (Nos. 71, 112 and 151).
The Chargers might see the need to move up to beat the Miami Dolphins (who own the fifth pick) to their quarterback of choice, either Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa of Justin Herbert of Oregon. In this mock draft exercise, the Chargers took Tua.
