<\/a><\/p>\nAt least, in my opinion it\u2019s perfect. For the Giants. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s one the Kansas City Chiefs would see a need to entertain. If fact, I highly doubt it. I am here, though, to write about scenarios that would help the Giants. So, I\u2019m doing it.<\/p>\n
Giants get: Picks 9 and 29
Kansas City Chiefs get: Pick No. 5<\/p>\n
Maybe the Chiefs are happy sitting at No. 9 and selecting whoever they see as the best cornerback, wide receiver, edge defender or offensive tackle on the board at the time.<\/p>\n
Maybe an edge defender like Reuben Bain of Miami or David Bailey of Texas Tech is there, and that convinces them to move up. Or, a wide receiver like Carnell Tate to energize their passing attack.<\/p>\n
In any case, the Giants could capitalize if the Chiefs are antsy.<\/p>\n
Take your pick from the list of players above. There would be a really good player available who would immediately step into New York\u2019s starting lineup. Maybe not a gold jacket player, but you never know.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at the players who might be available to the Giants at those spots.<\/p>\n
I used the Pro Football Focus simulator to force a 9 and 29 trade. As it happened, the Chiefs selected Bailey at No. 5.<\/p>\n
More importantly for our discussion, of course, is what the Giants did with the ninth and 29th picks.<\/p>\n
Downs, Mauigoa, Ione, McCoy, and Fano were all still on the board. In my view, Downs at No. 9 PLUS getting another first-round pick would be a home run.<\/p>\n
No. 29 \u2014 Denzel Boston, WR, Washington<\/p>\n
I thought about guards Emmanuel Pregnon and Chase Bisontis here, but I would cross my fingers and hope one of those two was still available at No. 37.<\/p>\n
Wide receiver KC Concepcion, and cornerbacks Colton Hood and Chris Johnson are also available here.<\/p>\n
I opt for Boston, a 6-foot-4, 212-pound vacuum cleaner who would be a great option across from Malik Nabers<\/p>\n
An alternative with the Chiefs<\/p>\n Giants get: Picks 9 and 40 If the Chiefs won\u2019t give up the 29th pick, the trade charts also give the Giants a value received advantage if they were to get picks 9 and 40 from the Chiefs.<\/p>\n If I am GM Joe Schoen and Chiefs GM Brett Veach won\u2019t give me pick No. 29, I\u2019d say something like \u201coh well, I guess we can accept 9 and 40.\u201d<\/p>\n Honestly, I would ask for 9 and 29 but take 9 and 40 without complaint.<\/p>\n Here is what I end up with in this deal, which the PFF simulator actually accepted without my needing to force the deal:<\/p>\n No. 9 \u2014 Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU<\/p>\n This time, Mauigoa, Lemon, Ioane, McCoy and Fano are still on the board. Downs is off the board. I am taking a player who should walk in the Giants\u2019 door and win a starting job.<\/p>\n Honestly, I keep thinking about Harbaugh talking about new-fangled positional value and saying that teams have always known quarterback and cornerback were important.<\/p>\n No. 37 \u2014 Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon<\/p>\n This is an original New York pick. I wouldn\u2019t doubt it if the Giants like Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis, a New Jersey kid who is three years younger, more than Pregnon. But, Pregnon it is.<\/p>\n No. 40 \u2014 Christen Miller, DT, Georgia<\/p>\n Miller, 6-foot-4, 321 pounds, is No. 43 on Dane Brugler\u2019s big board, and Brugler calls him \u201ca rock solid run defender.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s all I need to know.<\/p>\n The simulators love this trade<\/p>\n Over and over when I run mock drafts using the Pro Football and Sports Network simulator or the NFL Mock Draft Database simulator, I receive this trade offer:<\/p>\n Giants get: Picks 8 and 42 So, let\u2019s put it on the list. The Pro Football Focus simulator accepted the deal, meaning PFF\u2019s algorhythm thinks it is realistic enough.<\/p>\n I ended up with Downs at No. 8, Pregnon at No. 37, and Chris Johnson, a cornerback out of San Diego State many analysts think will be off the board before this, at No. 42.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
Chiefs get: Pick 5<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
Saints get: Pick 5<\/p>\n
