Milroe will join parade of quarterback prospects to visit the Giants
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe will take a ‘30 visit’ to the New York Giants, per a report from FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
Per Schultz, Milroe recently visited with the Cleveland Browns, who are one pick ahead of the Giants in each of the first two rounds. Milroe also has upcoming visits with the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, per Schultz.
Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough, considered by most to be in the same general tier of quarterbacks as Milroe, visited with the Giants on Wednesday.

Can Schoen and Daboll save their jobs?
The New York Giants have their work cut out for them after a disasterous 2024 season. The team finished the year in tatters, without a quarterback, with several of their best players injured, and with their head coach and GM firmly on the Hot Seat.
The good news is that they seem to understand the assignment and aren't just chalking 2024 up to bad luck.
The Giants were one of the NFL's most active teams once free agency opened and addressed their most pressing deficiencies. They signed two of the top young defensive...

Is Umanmielen an sleeper in a very good edge class?
If there’s one thing that quickly becomes abundantly clear about the 2025 NFL Draft, it’s that this is an incredibly deep and talented the edge class.
This class of edge defenders is so impressive that a player like Princely Umanmielen of Ole Miss is flying under the radar. Umanmielen had 10.5 sacks and 14 tackles for a loss after transferring from Florida to Ole Miss, but is still only on the periphery of the conversation regarding pass rushers.
The New York Giants have added depth players to fill out their...

The return of NASCAR?
Big Blue View’s Tony DelGenio asked a little while ago if the New York Giants should draft Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter at No. 3 if they have the chance.
Given the current roster, with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux already in place on the edges, how would the Giants get Carter on the field enough to justify using the third overall pick to select him? It is a valid question.
Sports Illustrated NFL insider Albert Breer has provided a glimpse into the potential answer.
The working belief at the moment is that Cam Ward...

An elite player in a year the draft is deep at his position
New York Giants fans have inhabited a world of diminished expectations the last couple of years. Battered by the collapse of the 2022 playoff team as soon as the 2023 season began. Eying a top three 2024 draft pick only to have it ruined by Tommy DeVito and Tyrod Taylor late-season heroics. Having the 2025 top pick slip through their hands late in the season with a meaningless victory over Indianapolis.
Now, having hoped for Cam Ward but seeing all reports having him go to Tennessee at...

Could Shough be an option for the Giants at No. 34?
With most of the NFL Draft world currently believing the New York Giants will pass on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders at No. 3 in the upcoming draft, attention has turned to which quarterback New York might target in the next tier.
One of the intriguing quarterbacks in that group, Tyler Shough of Louisville, is visiting with the Giants on Wednesday in East Rutherford, N.J.
Shough is an odd prospect. He will be 26 in September, ancient for a draft prospect after an injury-plagued seven-year college journey. Yet, his tape...

Finding the right quarterback to lead your franchise isn’t easy.
In a recent post, we detailed how only 38.8% of quarterbacks drafted in Round 1 have reached ‘solid starter,’ ‘franchise’ or ‘Hall of Fame’ caliber. On Day 2 of the draft (Rounds 2 and 3) we detailed how only five of 32 quarterbacks drafted during that time period (15.6%) reached at least ‘solid starter’ status.
So, how about Day 3?
The story of Tom Brady being a sixth-round pick is legendary. Brock Purdy having been selected as Mr. Irrelevant is the latest late-round quarterback success story.
Still, how...

Is Gabriel the next Russell Wilson?
Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel is one of the most intriguing passers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
He’s also one of the least talked about quarterbacks at the national level, and the fact that he’s rarely brought up for quarterback needy teams like the New York Giants makes little sense on paper.
Gabriel quick, agile, has a strong arms, and has been efficient and productive quarterbacks in this draft class. From a stats perspective, he compares extremely well to the top quarterbacks in this year’s “Deep Dive” series:
Completion percentage: 72.9 percent (*2nd - Shedeur...

DeMarcus Walker had 7.0 sacks playing for Shane Bowen in 2022
With attention focused on the upcoming NFL Draft, it is easy to forget that there are still useful free agents on the market. The New York Giants are reportedly hosting one of those for a visit on Wednesday, as eight-year veteran defensive end DeMarcus Walker is scheduled to visit the Giants.
Walker, who will be 31 in September, was a second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2017. He played four years for the Broncos, one each for the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, and the last two seasons...
