The more things change the more they stay the same. SB Nation's Mocking The Draft has released its weekly 2015 NFL mock draft, and the choice for the New York Giants at No. 9 overall is a familiar one. Yep. Iowa offensive lineman Brandon Scherff.
MTD's Dan Kadar writes:
The Giants could go a variety of routes with the No. 9 pick. They're another team that could go defensive line in the first round. But with the four best edge players gone, Fairburn went with Scherff to continue bolstering the offensive line.
Interestingly, LSU offensive tackle La'el Collins goes to the St. Louis Rams with the very next pick.
Free agency, which is currently ongoing with the "legal tampering window" in full effect, will likely change needs for many teams. The offensive line market is already thinning, however, and the price tags are exorbitant. Thus, you begin to wonder if the Giants will end up needing to turn to the draft to find the offensive line help they need.
