As much as we have focused on the offense, particularly the offensive line, in discussing the New York Giants so far this offseason early mock drafts show a different trend in Round 1 for the Giants.
Four of the 18 mock drafts in our currently updated database show Michigan defensive end Taco Charlton as the pick for the Giants at No. 23. Three show Alabama tight end O.J. Howard as the choice.
