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...

If they have a choice, which one should the Giants draft?
The New York Giants are in an advantageous position with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Tennessee Titans hold the first pick in the draft, and odds suggest that Miami quarterback Cam Ward will find a home in Nashville, leaving one of Colorado phenom Travis Hunter and Penn State edge Abdul Carter as possible selections for the Giants at three.
Of course, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is also in the conversation for New York. Nevertheless, the Giants may forgo selecting Sanders in the first round...

ESPN’s Louis Riddick doesn’t think so
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders wore New York Giants-themed cleats before his team’s appearance in the Alamo Bowl. He has talked about being a Giant a number of times. He was seen dapping up Giants coach Brian Daboll at the East-West Shrine Bowl.
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, though, does Sanders really want to be a New York Giant?
ESPN’s Louis Riddick doesn’t think so. In fact, Riddick told Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com that he does not believe Sanders actually wants to land with any of the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns or Giants...

Oh, and they get Abdul Carter
NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay of The Ringer has the New York Giants taking a big swing for Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe in his newly-released mock draft.
If you receive McShay’s newsletter, you can read the entire mock draft there. You can also watch McShay make and explain the picks on his YouTube channel.
McShay went what is increasingly becoming chalk for the Giants at No. 3, selecting Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter. The Tennessee Titans took Cam Ward No. 1 and the Cleveland Browns selected Travis Hunter No. 2, leaving the Giants...

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.
There has...

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...
