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.

What is he being sued for, and is there any evidence that he actually did it?

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."
