The NFL has entered the home stretch of this year's draft preparation.
In less than a month, the picks will start to fly in Kansas City as the Giants, who hold the 25th overall pick, will welcome their newest additions from the college ranks. They have already added – and, in some cases, re-signed – veterans in the first few waves of free agency. Now, the attention starts to swing back to April 27.
Below is a look at the latest mock drafts:
NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah updated his ranking of the top 50 prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Pick: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
Analysis: "Addison put up huge numbers for Pitt and USC over the past three seasons, and he could be a plug-and-play starter, getting reps in the slot and outside. This is how the Giants' passing offense can take a big step forward."
Pick: Joe Tippman, IOL, Wisconsin
Analysis: "The Giants did a nice job adding some much-needed speed to the skill positions in free agency. Tippman would team up with two young, talented offensive tackles to protect Daniel Jones for the foreseeable future."
Pick: Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State
Analysis: "Forbes is lean at 6-foot-1 and 166 pounds, but he has great speed and fantastic instincts in coverage. The Giants blitzed more than any other team last season (42.0%) but didn't have many ballhawks in the secondary to take advantage. Forbes would feast on mistakes forced by that pressure."
Pick: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
Analysis: "With QB Daniel Jones locked in long-term, it's time to get him some help on the perimeter. Johnston is a big target who should fit well in the Giants' physical offense. With Julian Love departing in free agency, a defensive back like Brian Branch might also make sense here."
Pick: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
Analysis: "On tape, Addison has some routes that give you flashbacks of Stefon Diggs. Giants head coach Brian Daboll had a front-row seat for Diggs's game in Buffalo, so the hope would be to replicate that in New York. At 173 pounds, Addison was smaller than expected at the combine, but he would add a different dimension to the Giants' passing attack."
Pick: Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
Analysis: "Hyatt exploded onto the scene in Tennessee's vertical tempo offense, catching 67 passes for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns, all while averaging a clean 18.9 yards per catch. He is a certified deep threat, with one area scout telling me at the Senior Bowl that he'll likely run in the low 4.3-second range in the 40-yard dash."
Pick: Joe Tippmann, IOL, Wisconsin
Analysis: "Joe Tippmann should be a definite Combine winner, and he could be a surprise first-round pick as a result. With a projected 10-yard split in the 1.6 range at 6'6", 320 pounds, he has elite size, power, and athleticism. The Giants could put him at center or guard and find space behind his devastating blocks."
Pick: John Michael Schmitz, OC, Minnesota
Analysis: "Beefing up the interior of the offensive line is critical to helping the recently extended Daniel Jones flourish as a franchise quarterback."
Pick: Brian Branch, CB, Alabama
Analysis: "The smart, tough and consistent Branch can play nickel or step right into the safety spot that opened up with the free agency departure of Julian Love."
Pick: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College
Analysis: "Corner or WR? WR or corner? That's what these past few picks have been all about. I'm sticking with Flowers as the Giants' pick, with the receiver just edging out the remaining corners."
Pick: Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State
Analysis: "You can't have enough talent in the secondary when you blitz as much as defensive coordinator Wink Martindale wants to. And when you blitz that much, you want ball hawks on the back end. Who better to add to the mix than the FBS leader in pick-sixes?"
Pick: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College
Analysis: "Flowers gives the Giants a true over-the-top threat who is also capable of working underneath. Daniel Jones should have an array of weapons at his disposal now."
Pick: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
Analysis: "The Giants re-upped the contracts of Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton while inking Parris Campbell in free agency, but that doesn't mean they're done upgrading the receiver group. Johnston gives the team some size and YAC ability on the outside and should make Daniel Jones's life a little bit easier."
Pick: Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia
Analysis: "Smith is unique in so many ways with a lot of projectable NFL traits. He'll likely be a more productive pass-rusher in the NFL than he was at Georgia."

Pick: Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State
Analysis: "The Giants focused on the trenches last year in the draft and getting Daniel Jones a weapon here would work fine as well, but instead they add some more talent on the back end."
Pick: John Michael Schmitz, IOL, Minnesota
Analysis: "There are several good centers in this class -- Schmitz, Luke Wypler, Joe Tippmann, Steve Avila (if his NFL future isn't at guard) ... and we have Day 2 grades on all of them. But the Giants have a glaring need in the middle of the offensive line so they address it here."
Pick: Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern
Analysis: "The Giants add Skoronski, who could begin his career at guard, to the blocking unit in front of Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley."
Pick: Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina
Analysis: "The UNC WR can carve defenses up in space and generate downfield plays from the slot."
Pick: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College
Analysis: "Though the Giants would probably like to get a bigger-bodied wide receiver, what they really need is just more playmaking ability from the position. Flowers, while small in size, brings that electric playstyle as an outside receiver and slot player."
Pick: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina
Analysis: "Smith is a tremendous competitor that is battle-tested playing in the SEC. His twitchy movements and sticky coverage abilities will be coveted when New York covers the receivers in this division."
Pick: Zay Flowers WR, Boston College
Analysis: "The Giants made one of the bigger splashes of the free agency period trading for Darren Waller to give Daniel Jones some weapons. They follow that up here by drafting Zay Flowers. Flowers is an explosive player that can align in multiple positions on the field. This should immediately give Jones a target to throw the ball to as he is a guy that can take a five-yard pass for 50 yards."
Pick: John Michael Schmitz, IOL, Minnesota
Analysis: "John Michael Schmitz is a powerful interior offensive lineman who can play guard or center."
Pick: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
Analysis: "This is a home-run style fit and a home-run need filled here in this NFL mock draft."
Pick: Brian Branch, S, Alabama
Analysis: "The Giants may have to trade up the board a bit to secure one of the top cornerbacks in this class. They already missed the initial run at the position. Instead, they take an intelligent, versatile safety capable of getting that defense lined up."
Pick: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College
Analysis: "Tight end Darren Waller was a high-profile trade target, but Flowers would be an explosive addition as well. Although he's not very big -- 5-9, 182 pounds -- he's capable of making plays from the slot and on the outside. He has the strength profile, run-after-reception ability and catch radius to be a creative player in coach Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka's offense. Flowers not only has alignment versatility but also is a sudden-change player who can completely alter the outlook of games in one play."
Pick: Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR, Ohio State
Analysis: "Adding a presence like Jaxon Smith-Njigba to go with the emerging Isaiah Hodgins would allow for the Giants' offense to stabilize and take off in year two under Brian Daboll."
Pick: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
Analysis: "The new regime gets Daniel Jones another big-bodied WR with a penchant for the big play."
Pick: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
Analysis: "I wish he was a bit more of a natural hands-catcher, but he checks off a ton of the boxes you look for in a top weapon that can threaten every level of a defense."
Pick: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
Analysis: Despite a somewhat disappointing showing at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, Addison will likely hear his name called at the back end of Round 1. Showcasing a safe pair of hands, he dropped just two of the 61 catchable passes thrown his way in 2022. The Giants could opt for a center in the first round, but there's a reasonable chance that at least Ohio State's Luke Wypler, Wisconsin's Joe Tippmann or Minnesota's John Michael Schmitz will be available in the second round. Wypler posted 80.0-plus PFF grades in both pass protection and as a run-blocker last season."
Pick: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
Analysis: "The Giants have done an excellent job this offseason giving Daniel Jones a true No. 1 option in the pass game with the acquisition of star tight end Darren Waller. Waller will give this offense the jolt it desperately needed but the team still could use more ammunition in the passing game. Quentin Johnston is a height/weight/speed player who excels as a deep-ball specialist. He would fit in very well as the field stretcher to open up the middle of the field for Waller and Co."
Pick: John Michael Schmitz, IOL, Minnesota
Analysis: "They have a need at center, and Schmitz is considered the best of a good class. They could go corner here -- maybe Emmanuel Forbes or Cam Smith -- but they opt to help out Daniel Jones and the line."
