New York Giants headlines for Friday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
New York Giants Top pick: No. 3 overall | Total picks: 8
It doesn’t matter who’s running the coaching staff or front office or quarterback room; the Giants are perpetually rebuilding. Current leaders Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, meanwhile, could use both more instant playmakers in the mold of Malik Nabers, and a sturdy longer-term arm to succeed veteran stopgaps Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. And that’s not even mentioning the offensive front, which has frequently been undermanned and overpowered. Basically, they need a little of everything.
Milroe has interviewed well, and even some clubs who aren’t run-heavy are intrigued. Several teams believe he’s worth a pick somewhere in the 20–50 range due to his upside. After recent private workouts with the Browns and Saints that were deemed “impressive,” Milroe, according to sources, has upcoming visits scheduled with the Giants, Rams and Seahawks.
“He’s got a super-strong arm — even by NFL standards,” the AFC East scout said. “Good touch on the long ball. He just needs more reps and time to refine his layering ... see more defenses, watch more tape. Think more football in general. That’ll come. He’s one of those guys — if you see it, you go get him,” the scout added. “He might not start Day 1, but in this quarterback class, his ceiling is too high to ignore.”
Kyle McCord, Syracuse: McCord's only year at Syracuse after transferring from Ohio State was exceptional. His 4,779 passing yards was not only the FBS leader for the season, but he also broke the all-time ACC record. He set school records in attempts (592), completions (391) and touchdown passes (34). I've heard some Brock Purdy comps with McCord, who could be successful in the right system and some patience.
