NFL prognosticators are not giving the New York Giants a lot of love as the 2020 season approaches. Granted, they have a new coaching staff that has not gotten the benefit of a normal offseason plus they open their year with five games against five tough opponents: Pittsburgh, Chicago, San Francisco, the Rams and Dallas.
They also play the Cowboys again, Philadelphia twice, Tampa Bay, an improved Arizona team, Seattle, Cleveland and Baltimore. They could win six games, two more than they won in 2019.
Based on what Luke Easterling of Draft Wire is predicting in his latest 2021 mock draft, the Giants won’t win more than four games. He has them selecting third overall in next April’s draft.
Round 1, Pick 3: Ja’Marr Chase, wide receiver, LSU
Round 2, Pick 35: Hamilcar Rashed, EDGE, Oregon State
Round 3, Pick 67: Camryn Bynum, cornerback, Cal
Chase is likely the best wideout in the draft, and since the Giants didn’t take a wide receiver in this year’s draft, they will be looking to augment and upgrade the unit come 2021. He won’t last long in this draft.
Rashed will be on every major watchlist this coming college season. In 2019, the 6-foot-4, 236-pound redshirt senior led the nation with 22.5 tackles for a loss.
Bynum has started 38 consecutive games for the Golden Bears and is Cal’s active career leader in both pass breakups and passes defended which ranks fourth among active FBS and Pac-12 players.
