Quarterback news: How does Derek Carr’s injury impact the New York Giants?

Joe Flacco, Drew Lock have new homes

New Orleans Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that could require surgery and keep him out for the entire 2025 season. That news could impact the Saints’ plans in the upcoming NFL Draft, and, by extension, those of the New York Giants.

The Saints, who have the No. 9 overall pick, have already been connected to quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders of Colorado and Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss at that spot. The injury to the 34-year-old Carr could increase the likelihood that the Saints select a quarterback at No. 9.

New York Giants visits tracker: Cam Skattebo, Donovan Jackson, Alfred Collins meet with Giants

Giants continue hosting intriguing 30 visits

In addition to completing their ‘30 visit’ with potential No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter on Friday, the New York Giants reportedly hosted a trio of other noteworthy NFL Draft prospects.

Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, the Giants hosted Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo, Ohio State guard Donovan Jackson and Texas defensive lineman Alfred Collins.

Skattebo is a powerful 5-foot-9, 219-pound back. NFL.com calls Skattebo a “carnage creator” and has a fourth-round grade on him. The Giants have Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary at running back, but neither offers Skattebo’s physicality.

Big Blue View mailbag: Tyler Shough, Abdul Carter, the fifth-year option, drafting 2 QBs, more

The mail’s here!

*Spencer Gross asks: Regarding Tyler Shough, I must admit I’m a fan of the player so maybe I’m biased but is the age that big of an issue? It’s mentioned as a caveat multiple times but it’s also well documented that having a rookie QB on the cheap allows you to compete during free agency during that initial contract time frame. My argument is you’ll have him for 4 years to see if he succeeds which would put him at I believe 31 at the end of his contract. There’s still football to be played at 26...

2025 NFL Draft prospect profile - Jack Sawyer, DE/EDGE, Ohio State

2025 NFL Draft prospect profile - Jack Sawyer, DE/EDGE, Ohio State

Can Sawyer be an impact player in the NFL?

The defensive line is a commonly cited need for the New York Giants, with the need for run defense as the primary complaint.

Defensive end and EDGE Jack Sawyer has been a mainstay for the Ohio State defense, appearing in (or starting) 54 games for the Buckeyes. He’s a tough and powerful edge defender who can set the edge as well as constrict the pocket.

Could he be a target if the Giants don’t select a lineman at the top of the draft?

New York Giants draft: Making the case — Travis Hunter or Shedeur Sanders

New York Giants draft: Making the case — Travis Hunter or Shedeur Sanders

The playmaker or the quarterback?

The New York Giants may select one of two Colorado players, depending on the Cleveland Browns’ selection at No. 2 overall. Suppose the Browns select edge defenderer Abdul Carter or make a surprise pick, and Cam Ward goes No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans. In that case, the Giants may choose between Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders or Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter.

Sanders and Hunter were a dynamic duo in Pat Shurmur’s offense with a shaky offensive line. Sanders threw for 4,134 yards with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2024; Hunter caught 96 passes for...

New York Giants mock draft tracker: Moving away from quarterback at No. 3

Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter share the top spot

Our mock draft tracker for the New York Giants this week reflects the changing tone of chatter surrounding the 2025 NFL Draft. Quarterback is no longer the focus at No. 3 overall for the Giants.

This week’s tracker, including only mock draft conducted this month, includes 45 mock drafts. Tied at the top as the players most often selected are Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter. Each player was chosen 17 times (37.8%).

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was chosen for the Giants in only six mock drafts...

Abdul Carter stress reaction called a ‘non-factor’

Carter visiting Giants after medical re-check

Before he headed to East Rutherford, N.J. on Thursday for his highly-anticipated ‘30 visit’ with the New York Giants, Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter went to Indianapolis for a recheck of the stress reaction in his foot.

Carter reportedly got good news.

Per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Carter’s foot is healing and no surgery will be needed.

“It should be a non-factor with the teams at this point,” Carter’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said.

Recent mock drafts have trended toward giving Carter to the Giants with the third overall pick. Todd McShay...

New York Giants draft visits: RB Omarion Hampton visits the Giants

Giants have met with a number of backs in buildup to draft

The visits to the New York Giants by quarterback prospect Jalen Milroe, which is occurring Thursday in East Rutherford, is the one getting attention. The Giants, though, are also hosting another player on Thursday who could be a first-round pick in the upcoming draft.

Per NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Giants are hosting North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton for a ‘30’ visit.

That is an interesting one.

There is no chance the Giants would consider selecting Hampton, the No. 2 running back in the class behind...

2025 NFL Draft prospect profile - Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green

Is Fannin the most versatile offensive weapon in the class?

One of the interesting features of the 2025 NFL Draft is the number of good players coming from unexpected locations.

Not only is it a testament to the work done by recruiting services and smaller schools to uncover talent, but it’s to NFL scouts putting in the work to evaluate small programs that might previously have been overlooked.

Harold Fannin Jr. might have gone to Bowling Green — hardly a football powerhouse — but he might also be one of the premier offensive weapons in this year’s draft. He’s incredibly...
