I know he's probably going top 10
....but if he slipped at giants trades back into the first to get him ... I would not be mad at all .... Him and Tracy as a 1-2 punch could be pretty deadly ......'still got Nabers and hopefully decent qb play

Maybe. Abdul Carter and Penn State's D brought him down to earth in the playoffs this year.

Nearly everyone faulted the Giants for letting Barkley walk. Image if they trade down and take Jeanty to replace him.
I am not advocating for that move, but it would be interesting, especially with the resurgence of the importance of the running back.

The same people would flip out saying you can't take a RB in the 1st round. Plus Tracy looked really good last year so I don't think they'd do it anyway.

While I liked what I saw from Tracy last season, he wasn't perfect. I would feel more comfortable with him as part of a duo than counting on him being the bell cow RB.

I would expect a later round pick at RB again to team with him for sure. Don't think they'd give him 30 carries a game. I also think he's going to improve a bit given he already had limited experience at the position even in college and still looked pretty darn good last year.

This is where I am at. Tracy seems best suited as a combo back. More Kareem Hunt rather than Nick Chubb (styles are different but my point is the second "lead" of 2 headed monster). I'd like to get the Chubb portion of that monster.
I'd love a shot at Cam Skattebo. Dude reminds me of a modern-day Rob Carpenter.

It isn't the sexy choice, but ironically he would probably be the BPA in such a scenario.
I am hoping they land Raheim Sanders, him and Tracy would be a good duo.

If (and I appreciate it's a big if) the Giants can improve their O-line, adding Jeanty could potentially have the biggest impact on the team. We saw what Barkley did for the Eagles.

Skattebo is an immature child who seriously injured a teammate by being reckless and is now getting sued for it. There a ton of good backs in this draft. No need to take a 22 year old who acts like he's 13. That juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Cam Skattebo, Arizona State Sued for $300K Over Golf Cart Incident
The suit claims the star running back injured a teammate by jumping on a golf cart and causing it to collapse in July 2023.
Cam Skattebo has become as elusive to lawyers as he is to opposing defenses.
The former Arizona State running back has been added to a lawsuit against the school brought by former teammate Mattheos Katergaris, after the plaintiff's lawyers spent weeks trying to serve him with papers.
In the suit, Katergaris claims Skattebo injured him in a July 2023 practice incident involving a golf cart.
The suit alleges that Skattebo jumped repeatedly on the back of a golf cart Katergaris was on with another player, causing the cart to collapse and Katergaris to rupture his triceps tendon.
Katergaris, a walk-on offensive lineman, hasn't played since and says he still has pain from the injury.
Skattebo, who finished fifth in Heisman voting last year, is being sued for one count of negligence resulting in injury along with ASU and the Arizona Board of Regents. Katergaris is seeking $300,000 in damages due to medical bills that are still unpaid. Skattebo was recently added as a third defendant on Jan. 27, weeks after the Sun Devils season ended in the College Football Playoff with a double-overtime loss to Texas.
The Arizona Board of Regents acknowledged Skattebo's actions in a February response to the complaint after he was added to the case, which said it "has reason to believe Defendant Skattebo boarded the back of the golf cart while two other players were sitting on the rear section," and that "Plaintiff ended up on the ground, and that this may have been due to a fall."

I posted the information. I am sorry, but this is the sort of thing that would be filed under boys will be boys (especially young men who are paid to play a game for a living) rather than some sort of indication of a character flaw or shortcoming.

You missed the reports that the teammate didn't intend to sue him initially but added him to the suit when he found out that Skattebo was making fun of the kid and his injury to teammates. You end a kids career, cause him to have to undergo reconstructive surgery and then treat it like a joke. No thanks. Don't want that on my roster when there are guys just as good who'll be available in the second or third round.

It's in the lawsuit. It was posted on Reddit. Don't know if it's still there.

Doesn't seem to be a thing that exists anywhere, not saying you made it up, but wherever you saw it, does not appear to have any credibility.

It seems more likely he was added to the suit because it appears the RB is in for a big payday
QuoteSkattebo wasn't named in the original complaint, which was made in May 2024. However, it has been amended twice – most recently on Jan. 27, 2025 – when Skattebo was added as a defendant.
At the time, Skattebo was just two weeks removed from a breakout senior season at Arizona State, during which he ran for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns while leading the Sun Devils to a College Football Playoff berth. He is expected to be selected during the 2025 NFL draft, and potentially early on in it.
Udulutch insisted the timing of Skattebo's addition to the lawsuit was merely coincidental.
"I'm aware of the speculation and how that looks, but I can't comment on the rationalization," Udulutch told The Republic. "All I can say is that we became aware that it was actually him that was on the back of the golf court, jumping up and down, according to my client."
The guy making the statement is the plaintiff's lawyer

It is a great draft to get a very good RB in Rounds 3 and later. No need for Jeanty early in the 1st!

It was a dumb-a$$ thing to do and there's definitely cause and effect which ties Katergaris' injury to the incident and action Skattebo took by jumping repeatedly on the back of the cart which was clearly marked "Maximum two people ride, 600 pound capacity."
Because the incident happened on ASU property, the University is most definitely liable. But I believe the civil suit against Skattebo is to capture funds for medical and related bills not paid for by the university, as well as pain and suffering.
Because ASU was ultimately liable, as it was their grounds, their football program and, logically, their cart, unless Arizona law provides a precedence a player can sue another while both signed agreements with the University to play football under their terms and conditions, which undoubtedly have statements on liability, I'm struggling to understand the legal precedent on which they bring this case forward. I feel for the young man, and can empathize what it is like to not have an extremity work you like it once had (i.e. my own left leg after six surgeries, bills), but the University did provide care and the real argument is whether the plaintiff can prove negligence on the medical staff, which required them seeking medical attention outside ASU, or can ASU play the "Patient Not Compliant" game.
As for Skattebo, the incident was a dumb, stupid thing young jock straps do and he should have been punished by the University at the time. Maybe he was and that will eventually come out. But I do find the timing of the ammendment of the lawsuit peculiar, not being disrespectful to the plaintiff, but unless there was discovery which provided them a path to sue Skattebo directly, and they only discovered it recently, then the timing is indeed interesting.
Note this incident was two years ago and its impact must have scared his a$$ straight because he's been a model citizen out here since.
If the court eventually finds him liable, then good for Katergaris because he and his family should never have been put in a position of having to file a lawsuit in the first place. Regardless, even if they dismiss the case on Skattebo, ASU needs to pick up the tab for all medical bills at a bare minimum. It doesn't matter if the kid was a walk-on. He was part of that team and deserved to be treated as such. It's unfortunate that he has had no other recourse but to go this route to be given that respect he justly earned.
Like or hate Skattebo, the law will adjudicate this matter. Cam has to live with the consequences for his actions the rest of his life and all the NFL money in the world won't change that.
Whether the Giants pick him or not, he's going to have a career in the NFL and, if he can successfully reconcile this issue from his past, he should have no problem becoming a key back for an NFL team.
Peace!
If the Giants traded back to 6 or 7, would they consider Jeanty?

I'd assume on this board it would be a hard no on drafting a RB in the top ten, since we've just for years gone through all the drama surrounding that idea and how awful it is.
Of course, it would be pretty damn ironic if Saquon left, was a leading factor for changing the league's perspective about the value of the RB position (and the corresponding money it should be paid), and then the Giants follow this new thinking and draft a RB in the top ten. :P :P :P
He's a classic Jerrah pick..he won't last past Dallas. no? Yes.they need a compliment to Lamb but they can add that later. Star power Jones can't resist.

Too rich for our blood. Would be Barkley all over again, i.e. poor use of draft capital for a team needing help in so many areas.
I would like Kyle Monongai in the 6th or 7th round though. He breaks tackles very well for being just 211, and has the frame to handle frequent snaps.
No point drafting a RB that high, unless you believe that Schoen has fixed the O-line.
While I believe Jeanty is a longshot, I do believe NYG will be drafting another RB

Change Shough to a different QB and I can buy into this. Not sure we have room on the roster for 2 RBs, but arguable a top BPA at 99.

I will admit the second RB was a mistake.
