New York Giants headlines for Tuesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
If New York passes on one and selects a blue-chip talent such as Colorado’s Travis Hunter, it could be a franchise-changing decision. What would the plan be for Hunter: corner, receiver or both? The Giants certainly will try their best to put as much of Hunter's talent to work early if he is indeed the pick, but the plan in this scenario would be important and telling. They ranked dead last in 20-yard pass plays last season and in the bottom five in defensive takeaways. Hunter could help both areas, but he can’t do it alone.
The Giants have five picks in the top 105 overall and can be aggressive. Whether that means trading up for a QB prospect (Shedeur Sanders? Jaxson Dart?) at some point along the way, or hoovering in as much ready-made talent as possible with those picks, they must be ready to strike when opportunities present themselves.
If the Browns select Travis Hunter at No. 2 things get chaotic. It would be a smart pick for Cleveland, and honestly the best selection for them organizationally. There are two legitimately can’t-miss prospects in this class in Hunter and Abdul Carter, and while the assumption has been that the Browns would take Carter — it’s also a luxury when you already have Myles Garrett as an edge rusher. At the very least Hunter gives you offensive and defensive options, rather than simply overloading on pass rush.
That then creates a nightmare scenario for the New York Giants at No. 3. One of the most difficult decisions any team will face in the 2025 NFL Draft: Take the best player available in Carter, even though he plays the only position you’re set at, take Shedeur Sanders and hope you found a franchise quarterback, or trade down — potentially missing out on both.
