The NFL Draft in 2023 is little over a week away.
So far this offseason, the New York Giants have gained several significant components through trade and free agency. However, the draft class will go a long way toward helping Joe Schoen establish the backbone of this roster.
This season, New York owns the 25th overall pick after making the playoffs. Here's who the experts think they should go with...
Ryan Wilson, CBS Sports
WR Quentin Johnston, TCU
The Giants would love to get an interior offensive lineman or a cornerback here, but they will have to settle with one. Instead, they focus on a different need: wide receiver. Johnston is an above-the-rim playmaker whose athleticism and contested-catch skills were evident on his TCU footage.

Quentin Johnston is the obvious choice here to instantly improve the New York Giants pass-catching area. Johnston is an ideal intermediate-range target for the Giants and QB Daniel Jones as they continue to establish themselves as a feared offense in the NFL.
Danny Kelly, The Ringer
The Giants re-signed Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton while signing Parris Campbell in free agency, but that doesn't mean they're done improving their wide receiver corps. Johnston adds height and YAC skills to the team's outside game, which should make things simpler for Daniel Jones.

WR Jordan Addison, USC
The receiver run continues, with club need and positional value aligning at No. 25. Addison, the smoothest route runner in this class, would provide Daniel Jones with someone he could rely on to routinely get open on the perimeter.

WR Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee
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.
Jordan Reid, ESPN
WR Zay Flowers, Boston College
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.

CB DJ Turner, Michigan
In my previous mock drafts, I slotted wide receivers for the Giants, so let's reverse gears and look at another position they may pursue. On the other side of Adoree' Jackson, they could use a player to challenge Aaron Robinson and Cor'Dale Flott. Turner is a popular name in the NFL right now, thanks in large part to scouts and executives going back to the video following his 4.26-second 40-yard sprint at the combine.
Since 2003, this was the fourth-fastest time at the combine. He's now in the first round of consideration. Turner isn't particularly large at 5-foot-11, 178 pounds, but he's versatile, having played outside and in the slot for the Wolverines. Last season, New York placed 25th in the NFL with 19 takeaways.
Daniel Weinman was crowned winner of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event on Monday, taking home a record breaking $12.1 million in winnings. Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
