NFC East News: New York Giants likely lose number one pick with win against Raiders
"Sunday delivered football fans the Number One Overall Pick Bowl in Sin City as the Giants visited the Las Vegas Raiders with the loser of the game "winning" the number one overall pick. Tanking (losing on purpose) is a practice that many frown upon, but when your team has been as moribund as the Giants and Raiders both have been for some time, the number one overall pick can represent a lot of hope and promise."
"It is hard to know who the number one overall pick will even be, some believe Indiana's Fernando Mendoza is the heavy favorite, but at least we know the Giants will likely not be the team making that selection. Even if the Giants are confident in quarterback Jaxson Dart as their future signal-caller, they could have traded out of that pick had they "won" it and netted quite the return."
