Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Let’s focus on their two first-round picks. Edge rusher Abdul Carter, who was viewed by many evaluators as the best overall player in the draft class, has been doing a few things every day in practice that have caused coaches and teammates to ooh and ahh. As for quarterback Jaxson Dart, this was some cool perspective from our conversation over the summer: “I want to be the best in everything I do, especially this game,” Dart said. “My happiest self is when I’m out there competing and succeeding. Down deep, that’s what drives me. I want to be the best. … I just love this game.”
The New York Giants now have the best defensive player in the NFC East with star Dexter Lawrence and it’s not even close. It could turn out to be a 1-2 punch on defense if Abdul Carter becomes the player the NFL believes he can be this season.
That is just the beginning of the fallout from the blockbuster trade rocking the league Thursday night and beyond when the Dallas Cowboys decided to trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for a pair of first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.

Adebo was building a Pro Bowl case before going down last season, recording three interceptions and 43 solo tackles in only seven games. He is the ball-hawk the Giants’ defense needs after the squad registered just five picks in 2024-25.

Collins might have a paltry stat line (one catch, though it went for 80 yards), but the 6-3, 206-pounder’s spectacular play throughout offseason workouts and training camp has suggested he could develop into a key contributor...
