NFL.com Shocks with Bold Draft Prediction: Giants Poised to Land Saquon 2.0?
NFL.com’s Adam Rank turned heads this week with a bold and unexpected prediction for the New York Giants. In his lone mock draft — which he doesn’t revise — Rank bypasses the usual suspects like Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, or even a quarterback. Instead, he urges the Giants to take a swing at Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty, the top running back in the draft.
Rank explained on Mock Draft Live that this pick would be a symbolic move — a way to help Giants fans move on from Saquon Barkley’s departure to the rival Eagles. “You need a game-changer who will help the fans forget Saquon just won a Super Bowl with Philly,” Rank said. “Take Ashton now and let your fan base love again.”
