Bleacher Report has a great mock. I would love for the draft to unfold this way.

The New York Giants have reportedly come to an agreement with the Cincinnati Bengals to trade their fifth-round pick in the 2012 NFL draft for 2008 first-round pick linebacker Keith Rivers.</p>
Rivers,
the ninth selection in the 2008 NFL draft, has been underwhelming since
being taken by the Bengals, falling short of expectations and often
injured. The acquisition of Rivers does potentially address the Giants
biggest need this offseason, should Rivers or current Giants linebacker
Michael Boley move to the inside linebacker spot.</p>
Regardless of
the direction the Super Bowl champions may choose to go there, one thing
appears certain: the Giants will not draft a linebacker in this year’s
draft.</p>
The Rivers pickup shifts their focus going into the draft
at the end of this month and enables them to answer some other questions
heading into the 2012 NFL season.</p>
Let’s take a look at how things are shaping up with just a few weeks to go leading up to the draft.</p>

The departure of longtime New York Giants right tackle Kareem
McKenzie and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the left tackle
position has really put Big Blue in a bind.</p>
Jerry Reese is not
the type to address the offensive line in the first round, but he would
be a fool to ignore the dramatic regression the Giants offensive line
took in 2011.</p>
At 6’7”, 323 pounds, Adams is a physical specimen
with raw ability entering the NFL. He has shown great footwork, though
he can be a bit heavy on his feet, and utilizes his long arms to ward
off rushing defenders.</p>
Adams can immediately fill the right tackle
void left by McKenzie in his rookie year and may be a better fit there
than on the blindside.</p>

Cliff Harris could be a steal if he is still there that late in the draft. How does this look to you?
