The New York Giants are in position to add a blue-chip talent to their roster this year with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft. Whether it’s a quarterback like Cam Ward or Shadeur Sanders or a special two-way player like Travis Hunter, they’re bound to come away with a premier prospect in April.
Of course, there’s always the possibility of the Giants moving off that pick and trading up or down the board. General manager Joe Schoen said at the NFL combine on Tuesday that the Giants are open to everything, including a move up from No. 3.
“We have an idea of 3-5 players, six players, seven – whatever it may be,” he said. “And move-back scenarios, you can do that. We’ll also look at moving up if that’s a possibility. So it’s an exciting time and year for us and got a chance to make some changes on our roster so we’ll look at all different scenarios.”

Sitting at No. 3, the Giants have a good idea of which players will be available at that spot. There are only two players who can be selected before they go on the clock, and there’s a good chance those two players could be Ward and Abdul Carter – two of the favorites to go first overall.
If the Giants covet one of them, it’s possible they’ll try to trade up with either the Titans or Browns to ensure they land one of them. At the same time, Schoen sounds open to trading back if they don’t love the prospects at No. 3.
