New York Giants
Not as successful as those drafted in Round 1
We recently looked at the NFL success rate for quarterbacks drafted in Round 1, finding that since 2010 only 38.8% turned into solid starters or better. Now, let’s look at quarterbacks selected on Day 2 during that same time period.
This remains unchanged from a year ago when this story first ran. No quarterbacks were chosen on Day 2 of the 2024 draft.
2010
Round 2
No. 48 — Jimmy Clausen (Carolina Panthers
Round 3
No. 85 — Colt McCoy (Cleveland Browns)
2011
Round 2
No. 35...

Prospects we know the Giants have visited with
[April 7 update]
Since we last updated our New York Giants visits tracker, a trio of visits from offensive skill position players have been reported. They are:
Running backs Quinshon Judkins and Ollie Gordon — Judkins, out of Ohio State, is ranked No. 51 on the NFL Mock Draft Database Big Board. That makes him a potential Day 2 selection. Gordon, out of Oklahoma State, is No. 128. That makes him a potential Day 3 pick.
Tight end Elijah Arroyo — With Theo Johnson and...

Can Bowman be a versatile piece for the Giants’ defense?
The New York Giants have a young and talented secondary, at least on paper. They’ve added quite a bit through free agency and the draft, but are they done building the back end of their defense?
Oklahoma defensive back Billy Bowman Jr. is listed as a safety, however he’s a very versatile player with great movement skills. He can play a variety of positions and alignments in most modern defenses, which could make him a great value if he slips on draft day.
Could that value appeal to the Giants?...

Carter could be in play for Giants at No. 3
Somehow, food always seems to factor into the equation when the New York Giants and top NFL Draft prospects get together. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter is reporting that Giants head coach Brian Daboll had breakfast in State College, Pa. on Sunday with Nittany Lions edge defender Abdul Carter, and that Carter will visit East Rutherford, N.J. on Thursday.
There has, of course, been a growing belief in draft circles that the Tennessee Titans will take quarterback Cam Ward No. 1, and the Cleveland Browns will follow suit by selecting...

Here are the numbers since 2010, and they are not encouraging
With the New York Giants still in the quarterback market, I am updating a series of posts I did last year looking at the success rates of quarterbacks drafted on Day 1, Day and Day 3 of the NFL Draft.
Today, we look at Round 1. The bulk of this post appeared on Big Blue View prior to the 2024 NFL Draft. It has been updated to reflect another year’s worth of data.
We have often talked about the hit rate, the percentage of time NFL teams get it...

Yet another running back with playmaking potential
It really does seem as though everywhere you look, there’s another running back in the 2025 NFL Draft with the potential to be a playmaker at the next level.
DJ Giddens from Kansas State, for instance, isn’t high on many draft boards, and gets little discussion outside of scout circles. Yet he ran for over 1,300 yards and averaged over 6.5 per carry this year with an average of 6 yards per carry for his career.
The New York Giants might not feel a pressing need to draft a running back this year,...

Which quarterback is the right one to choose?
Yet again, the New York Giants are slated to be selected among the top six in the 2024 NFL Draft; this year, they have the third pick. The Giants still lack a long-term plan for the quarterback position. The Tennessee Titans appear infatuated with Miami quarterback Cam Ward, and it seems like he’s set to be the first overall selection in the draft, albeit anything can happen.
New York signed two veteran quarterbacks, Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston; the former is set to receive the opening crack at starting quarterback. Signing the...

Increasingly, Cam Ward and Travis Hunter are expected to be selected 1-2
It is beginning to look like the New York Giants’ choice at No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft will be between Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter.
Following Friday’s Colorado Pro Day, the Tennessee Titans cancelled a private workout for Sanders and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter. The Titans have been considered likely to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, and that would now appear all but certain.
Meanwhile, until recently the Cleveland Browns had been heavily linked...

Giants get elite playmaker and a quarterback with first two picks
Another week, another New York Giants seven-round mock draft.
ESPN has released its 2025 Mock Draft Simulator. To perhaps change up the board from what we have worked with in recent weeks, I used the ESPN Simulator.
Let’s see what happens.
Cam Ward went No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans. Shedeur Sanders went No. 2 to the Cleveland Browns. I don’t believe the Browns will take Sanders in this spot, but that’s how this mock worked out.
I get...

Is Thomas a sleeper at the cornerback position?
The cornerback position isn’t held to be one of the more talented ones in the 2025 NFL Draft class. That’s largely due to several of the top prospects missing time due to injury, yet there are quite a few potential starters flying below the radar.
Cornerback Azareye’h Thomas out of Florida State has been a steady riser throughout the process. He took advantage of his opportunity at the Reese’s Senior Bowl, forcing scouts to go back to the FSU tape, and they’ve liked what they’ve seen.
Thomas’ evaluation could vary widely based...
