NFL’s draft cannot happen quickly enough.
But let’s be real: we are less than three weeks before the event and each passing day brings another potential wrinkle to what New York Giants could do.
Managing Director Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll has faced a decisions offset that will speak to the urgency to transform the franchise by winning again. This comes with the obvious pressure under which everyone will work when they enter a fourth pivotal season to control Big Blue.

With the festivities of the NFL project in Green Bay which start with the first round time of time listening on April 24, we will continue to analyze what we know about the prospects that should be at stake for the Giants.
Who will Giants write in the first round?
So many things are on the table for the giants, which currently hold the overall selection n ° 3 with the pre-tapest focusing from professional days to private training sessions and “30” visits to East Rutherford. Whatever the plan that Schoen has made in a free agency, would have a significant impact on the plans of plans of the giants, in particular at the quarter-arre, and the remains of uncertainty. Cam Ward and Shemer Sanders are considered the first two QBs of the 2025 class, and Ward should go to the Titans at No. 1.
Sitting at n ° 3, with the additions of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, what does that mean for the prospects to take a quarter-Arrière there? Sources have declared to Northjersey.com and to the record that these two signatures would not change the plan, and that if they believe in Sanders or another quarterrier at this place, the presence of Wilson and Winston will not prevent a selection.

The giants will continue to function in the mind to keep all the options open.

Giant Mock Draft: Each selection for Big Blue
Using Professional football network project simulatorHere is our stab now a week to exhibit a possible simulation for the giants. Ward went to the Titans and the Brown I took Abdul Carter, so I had the choice between Travis Hunter and Sheder Sanders, and I went back and forth.
I spent time preparing potential commercial offers if I had to return to the first round using the choice of the second round of the giants at n ° 34. The idea would be to go up if the two Sanders were starting to fall, or if I had to take a step to get, let’s say, Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss.

The team to go ahead was Pittsburgh’s Steelers at No. 21, but this is only part of the challenge. If the browns do not take a quarter of a quarter at n ° 2, I must consider Cleveland as a potential threat to exchange one for one.
So I chose three potential business partners: the Falcons of Atlanta At n ° 15, the Bengals of Cincinnati at n ° 17 and the Denver Broncos At n ° 20. I started with a commercial package which included the choice of the second round of the Giants and the third round this year, and I modified the offer accordingly starting with Denver.
Offer to broncos that has been accepted: n ° 34, n ° 65 and a 4th round 2026
Offer to Bengals that has been accepted: n ° 34, n ° 65 and a 2nd Rounder in 2026

Offer to the Falcons that was accepted: n ° 34, n ° 65, a 2nd Round 2026 and an exchange of choice, the 4th round of the Giants for the 5th Round 2026 of Falcons.
With the framework of these offers in place, I sent the card for n ° 3:
Round 1, Pick 3: Travis Hunter, CB / WR, Colorado

This would leave the giants in a position to take Sanders, 23, if they consider him as their quarter of the future, or the 21-year-old hunter, the two-lane star of the Heisman Trophy who, according to some scouts, is the best corner half and the best wide receiver in the 2025 class.
The whole league continues to guess what the Browns and the Giants will do to numbers 2 and 3. The two teams do their best so as not to be completely transparent, despite what so many people think they know. The same three players have been mentioned for the two teams for months, but speaking with many sources in recent days, nobody knows it with certainty.

Some championship sources earlier this week have predicted that the reorganization bias would take control of the post-colorado day with regard to what the browns would do. Abdul Carter has been out of sight, in mind so to speak in recent days, and it is not his fault. It always looks like bruns can go Carter or Hunter, with Sanders that have not yet been released either.
The Browns stayed with Carter and I decided to go for the 21 -year -old hunter, the two -lane star of the Heisman trophy who, according to some scouts, is the best corner half and the best wide receiver in the 2025 class.
The giants see Hunter as a perspective that can change the two sides of the ball, probably with its absolute priority at the corner and an unusual capacity to contribute immediately in attack, those who know the team’s reflection throughout the evaluation process have declared to Northjersey.com and in the record. The difference here would not only be a physical challenge, but a mental question for Hunter to learn defense and offense as a recruit, as Daboll noted earlier this week.
This has nothing to do with a lack of intelligence, because by most accounts, Hunter is very lively. It is not a talent problem either, the NFL network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, said: “Travis Hunter is as if someone had gone to the Philadelphia Eagles And took Devonta Smith and Darius Slay, turned him into a circle and they came out as the same human being. “”
Round 1, choose 15 (trade with Falcons): Sheder Sanders, Qb, Colorado
Schoen and Daboll can probably not think like that, but I can: I did not leave the project without a Franchise quarter. For me, Sanders has enough in his game which is worth taking this swing, so I thought that I would beat the browns with the punch and use the exchange of choice as a sweetener to bring Atlanta to take the plunge. If Sanders is out of the set, I would likely try to conclude the agreement with Cincinnati or more likely Denver, but we will see.

Sanders has just released a season when he led Colorado to his first season of nine victories since 2016, broke the program record for the yards through the pass through a season (4,134), ended with the largest percentage of completion of a season (74%) and launched the most affairs in a single season (37).
He’s not going to draw Oohs and Aahs with his arm like Justin Herbert or his wheels like Lamar Jackson, or direct people like Josh Allen. This should not allow Sanders not to do to get away from what it does really well.

In some respects, Sanders is a quarter of an age different from the NFL. He is a pocket smuggler who, because of his DNA, is partially demoted because he is not QB prime despite being the son of the Temple of Professional Football Deion Sanders.

It should always play in today’s game: it is consistent, hard, precise and the spotlight and the pressure here will not stir it. On the field during the training of the professional day, SheDer Sanders made 62 passes on 67 with three drops, according to Jeff Howe of athletics. He made comparisons with Russell Wilson for his deep precision of the ball, including several completions in Hunter.
With Wilson and Winston here, the giants can afford to give Sanders time to acclimatize to the pros and show what he can do behind the scenes, while waiting for him to be ready to be immersed in QB1.
Round 3, Pick 99: Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State
The farmer was one of the most neglected perspectives in a deep class of defensive line players. At 6 feet 3 inches and 305 pounds with 35 -inch arms, he is not afraid to use his size as a racing cap with eight plated for the loss to accompany four bags last season to Florida State. It is difficult not to think of Braden Fiske and Jared pays and their impact with the RAMs when the farmer and the line D in Tallahassee. Farmer is a good athlete who can play from top to bottom, which would give the giants flexibility as they seek to find the right mixture at the front with Dexter Lawrence anchoring the middle.
Round 4, Pick 104: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami
Huge production at the Oregon State, then with the Hurricanes after the transfer before the season. He led Miami with 1,002 yards on the ground and 10 affected, ending his university career with 3,169 yards on the ground and 26 scores, 14 games of 100 yards and 32 receptions for 391 yards.

Martinez is listed at 6 feet and 217 pounds, he plays even larger and would be an intriguing complement to Tyrone Tracy. The giants have done a lot of homework in a class of running back in depth, so they are likely to add one in the draft this year.
Round 5, Pick 154: Jake Majors, C, Texas
Incredible sustainability at 6 feet 3 inches and 315 pounds. He has a high football IQ and, even if he arrives in the league which is only projected as a center, the giants could also explore how he would adapt to Guard. They met him after Texas Pro Day. The majors have set a new program record with 56 career departures in five seasons.
Round 7, Pick 219: Hollin Pierce, OT, Rutgers
Pierce has an ideal combination of size and length (6 feet 8 inches, 344 pounds), and the most attractive aspect of his game is the way he quickly improved in his career. The native of the New Jersey has not yet struck his ceiling, and in this place, the Giants should look for an offensive line player to develop and get the most out while working behind the veterans Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor. If Pierce excels quickly enough, he would give the giants a young depth that is well necessary for a position dependent on proven players who are not easily replaceable.
Round 7, choose 246: Will Sheppard, WR, Colorado
Sheppard is a very good road runner and he impressed at the East / West Shrine Bowl, that the giants were everywhere. It was there that they fell in love with Tyrone Tracy a year ago, and you can bet that Daboll and Schoen saw a lot of Sheppard while they have combed through all the ribbons of Sheder Sanders. They recently dined with Sheppard, who also impressed Friday at Colorado Pro Day. I like the fact that you can bring a second receiver beyond Hunter who had a certain chemistry with Sanders in Boulder. It measures 6 feet 3 inches and 205 pounds, and will be a development prospect under the radar.
