The New York Giants possess the sixth overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft and are considering trading down. According to the latest NFL Mock Draft by Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic, Baumgardner proposes a trade between the Giants and the Chicago Bears, where the Giants would move down to the ninth pick.
In this scenario, the Giants would receive the ninth overall pick, the 75th pick, and a mid-round selection in 2025. Baumgardner suggests that with the ninth pick, the Giants should select Brock Bowers, a tight end from the Georgia Bulldogs, while the Chicago Bears would potentially draft wide receiver Malik Nabers from LSU.
Baumgardner argues that prioritizing the acquisition of talent like Bowers could benefit the Giants, especially considering the potential retirement of Darren Waller and the need to enhance the team’s offensive options.
