17. New York Giants (3-14). Malik Nabers is a star, so teaming him up with the right quarterback could help the Giants improve. But is the No. 3 pick too late for Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll to have a shot at a legit franchise savior? The quarterback pickings in free agency are slim as well.

Brian Burns sack totals remained the same, but his’ overall effectiveness improved. He had 61 pressures in his first season with the Giants, the second-highest total of his career, and the 13th-most in the NFL. Burns thrived in creating negative plays for opposing offenses in general. His 42 stops in 2024 were a career-high and the second-most in the NFL, behind Jonathon Cooper, and 30 of those defensive stops came against the run, an area where Burns has particularly struggled in his career.

The Giants would have considered acquiring a fourth-round pick for edge rusher Azeez Ojulari, who was in the middle of one of the best stretches of his four-year career with five sacks in three games as a fill-in starter for the injured Kayvon Thibodeaux. But the market to rent edge rushers was set at about a sixth-rounder.

Receiver Darius Slayton likely would’ve brought back similar value to the fifth-rounder that the Jets received from the Steelers for Mike Williams, but Slayton’s locker room leadership and ability to simplify head coach Brian Daboll’s complex offense for younger receivers Malik Nabers and Jalin Hyatt was too valuable to lose.

Giants mailbag: Did NY keep Daboll out of fear job would be undesirable to top candidates? | The Athletic

In 2022, the Giants did it right. Ownership went outside of its comfort zone to hire Schoen. Then Daboll, who was a coveted head-coaching candidate, was hired. But the right process can still lead to poor results. Maybe that’s because of the overwhelming influence of ownership. Or maybe Schoen and Daboll just aren’t good at these incredibly challenging jobs that have an exceptionally high failure rate.

That’s why I didn’t buy into the fears of not being able to find upgrades if the Giants made changes after the season. This regime is 9-25 over the past two seasons. This whole endeavor is pointless if ownership doesn’t believe it’s possible to do better than that.

Giants Mailbag: Is Travis Hunter a realistic target at No. 3 in the draft? | SNY.tv

The talk around league circles has been Sanders. It’s been that way since before the season ended. The Giants actually had a completed report on Sanders ready if he declared for last year’s draft. He would have been a target in the second or third round…That tells me the Giants are going to do everything they can to go up and get their quarterback. The biggest question, as addressed above, is if the Titans or Browns are willing to move back.
