Big Blue Huddle

He sees Ward and Sanders going 1 and 2.  He sees Hunter as primarily a WR for NYG (Creating an elite WR unit).  If Sanders doesn't go to the Browns (McShay isn't certain of this pick) then he sees NYG going Sanders at 3.  The source is McShay's pay site (link at the bottom) and his current podcast.





3. New York Giants: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Deciding between Hunter and Carter is a great opportunity, but it's a brutal choice to make. I almost always favor pass rushers over skill-position players. And one could argue that the Giants aren't as desperate for Hunter's services as they were just a couple weeks ago, before the team added corner Paulson Adebo and re-signed wideout Darius Slayton. But since Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux are on the roster, I think that the Giants could lean in Hunter's direction. They would need to make a decision on how to get the most out of him on both sides of the ball, but my guess is that he would play a bigger role on offense here than he would if picked by some other organizations. Brian Daboll still needs a quarterback (stay tuned for later in this mock), but once New York finds its passer, he will have a dangerous corps of targets in Malik Nabers, Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Hunter. This has the makings of a surprisingly fun offense.



Trade: The Giants send picks 34 and 65 and a 2026 third-rounder to the Buccaneers for pick no. 19.

19. New York Giants: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
New York moves up from no. 34 to no. 19 (two spots ahead of Pittsburgh, which could be eyeing a quarterback at no. 21) for Dart. I could see a combo of Russell Wilson and Dart (or even Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough) as the quarterback outcome for GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. If the Giants make this move, Travis Hunter and Dart would become the long-term building blocks for the G-Men.

While Giants fans may be agitated, to say the least, if Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are off the board before New York picks at no. 3—making it the second year in a row that New York is unable to land one of the top quarterbacks in the draft—I would argue that this is the better outcome for the team. I don't think that the gap between Sanders and Dart is as large as many seem to think. More importantly, Dart has the stronger arm and is more mobile, and if you look at Daboll's track record (including Josh Allen in Buffalo and Jalen Hurts at Alabama), those traits very favorably work with what he asks for from his quarterback.

I would prefer Carter to Hunter but if this is the way they go, I wouldn't throw myself off the top deck. Does Dart last until 19? I don't think this draft is all that deep.

There are reports the Jets have an interest in Dart.  Mel Kiper had him going 9th to the Saints.  So, there is no guarantee regarding how long Dart will last in round one.

This to me is a dream scenario.  I would be over the moon if it played out exactly like that.  I don't think it will, I think Dart goes in the top 10, but this would be perfect.

Milroe seemed to have done very well at his pro day.  If they're trading back into the back end of the 1st round I could see them doing it for him as well.  Especially if they end up getting a vet like Wilson that can allow Milroe to sit and learn for a year.

If Ward goes first overall I hope we trade down for additional picks. If they stay put I feel that Hunter, as a receiver, doesn't fill a real need but Graham and to a lesser degree Carter do. I want no part of Sanders with the third pick overall. He has busy written all over him.

Warren Sharp has the Giants trading back in as well

I agree with this. Dart will go top 15 and even Milroe might slip into the late first round.

Great so we put new QBs behind an OL that could not protect last year and do not have a 2nd or 3rd rounder to help shore it up.  No thank you.

Draft Hunter or Carter ot OL at 3 and see who is available at QB in round 2.  Draft OL

The top Draft Guru thinks Sanders is the second pick of the draft? Ok...

Before the injuries the OL wasn't terrible. It was Daniel Jones holding us back.  We should draft OL every draft, but I think DL is more of a need.

As you know, I consume a lot of football content.  While Sanders seemed to take a dive around the Combine, he seems to be picking up more support lately.

If so that would thrill me to no end.

What?  That is crazy.  First, our OL is always injured so we are always digging into our 2nd/3rd stringers so stop with the our OL played good when healthy.  They are never healthy and they were not playing good.  They were average at best.  Two years ago they gave up 85 sacks.  The DL is worse?  That is ridiculous.  We have 2 Edge Rushers, Dex and an open hole at DT.  That is hardly our OL.  Jesus.  How easily do you think we can score 20 points in a game?  It's our OFFENSE.

I don't think Dart makes it out of the Top 10.
