Just when you think it's safe to book Abdul Carter as the Giants' pick at #3, the spectre of Shedeur Sanders rises again. Giants' brass took one last trip to Boulder on Aprii 17th for a private visit with Sanders - just one week before the Draft! While
pundits do their best to assuage Giants' fans concerns (that the team will draft Sanders against their wishes), the timing of the visit raises eyebrows.
Fans are excited about Carter joining a defensive unit that already contains Dexter Lawrence, and star EDGE rushers Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. No such excitement exists for a Sanders-led offense.
We think cooler heads will prevail and Carter will be the pick...
Regarding Day 2 of the Draft. GM Joe Shoen has brought in a half-a-dozen of the top RBs not named Ashton. Omarion Hampton figures to be a Day 2 pick if he's available at #34. If not, the Giants will likely wait until RD3 for Quinshon Judkins, Kaleb Johnson or Cam Skattebo.
As for a Day 2 QB, some Giants' podcasters and Youtubers have pointed out that
QBs selected on Day 2 have an extremely low hit rate in terms of developing into starters. 15.6% to be precise. They pound the table
against the selection of a QB at #34 (Dart, Shough, Milroe), noting that the Giants have studied all three.
POLL! Assuming the Giants select EDGE Abdul Carter in RD1...
