The 2025 season doesn’t start for a few more weeks, but we’ve already seen a fair share of “way too early” mock drafts.

Now that we’ve seen a little bit of each NFL team through the first preseason games, draft analyst Toddy McShay released his “appropriately early” mock draft. He and Steve Muench co-host The McShay Show podcast and worked together to scout players that teams might actually draft, rather than shooting in the dark.

Based on FanDuel’s Super Bowl odds, the Giants are projected to have the third overall pick. With that pick, McShay and Muench predict that the Giants will select offensive tackle Spencer Fano out of Utah.

“I think that offensive line’s got a chance to be a lot better than people expect. Marcus Mbow they drafted (this year), by the way, Marcus Mbow is having a good camp. That’s ‘our guy’ from Purdue, I think he gets a little stronger and there’s something there,” McShay said.

McShay goes through the top five picks in his mock before getting Muench’s opinion on his selections. Muench is very high on Fano.

“Violent, athletic, it’s not all clean,” Muench said. “It’s not all clean. But that gives you is the opportunity to see what happens when he gets caught in a bad spot. I remember watching when the Jets took Alijah Vera Tucker out of USC. I remember Joe Douglas, who was the GM of the Jets at the time, talking about ‘what happens when Vera Tucker gets caught out of position, how does he recover?’ And they were so impressed with his ability to recover.

“Man, I see Fano, and when he’s clean with his technique, it is beautiful, but when he does things that he’s not supposed to, he still wins. And when you’re looking at that kind of a talent, I would have no problem taking him in the Top 5.”

The Giants’ offensive line has struggled over the last few years, but it does seem to be coming together this year. However, aside from John Michael Schmitz, all of the starting offensive linemen have been in the league for a minimum of five years.

There’s not a ton of youth behind them, either, and Fano could easily slide into the rotation should the Giants actually draft him.
