Giants news, 4/9: Kiper drafts Carter, Milroe for Giants, Travis Hunter, Russell Wilson, more headlines

Jalen Milroe film review: Why a potential NFL Draft gem needs extensive polishing | The Athletic

The ball explodes out of Milroe’s hand, bringing the strongest arm in this class. At his best, he is a deep-game hunter who can effortlessly get the ball downfield. He’s an exceptional runner who has the strength to rip away from arm tackles and the explosiveness to take runs to the house. He’ll sail passes occasionally but when he gets his feet properly aligned, he can fire into tight windows.

Teams will be intrigued with developing his considerable tools but what concerns me most about Milroe is his general lack of feel for the passing game. He had 28 starts in college so he’s experienced but even late into his last season, he didn’t display a sense of timing, pressure and anticipation.

Giants, Milroe marriage is perfect fit: Orlovsky

“If I could hand pick one team for Jalen Milroe, it would be the New York Giants. … This would be the perfect place for both the player and the organization.” ✍️

Abdul Carter falling into Giants’ lap at No. 3 pick could create dominant pass rush | New York Daily News

Carter’s character is also a part of the evaluation process that the Giants need to clear. He was accused of assaulting a tow truck driver one year ago during an alleged incident in which the driver suffered a fractured rib. And Carter has been characterized as more individualistic than team-oriented in his on-field football approach by some scouts, needing more discipline to stay in structure rather than always pursuing a big play, for example.

Then again, he played through a bad shoulder during the College Football Playoff rather than protecting his body against further damage for the draft at the expense of his team. And the determination to make game-changing splash plays would be welcome, frankly, in New York.

Yes, we all know the Giants need a long-term answer at quarterback. But Schoen doesn’t exactly seem eager to take one from this class — which some experts have deemed the worst in recent memory. “We can go any which direction. It doesn’t force you into a corner or force you to have to take something based on need,” Schoen said at last week’s owners’ meetings, when asked how signings of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston impact his draft plans.

Bottom line: If Schoen is telling the truth, he’ll take the best player available. Carter is that and then some. He would be a potentially generational consolation prize for missing out on Ward.

A Giants plan for Travis Hunter’s two-way game is far from decided | New York Post

As the college season ended and the Giants ramped up their player evaluation process, they initially viewed Travis Hunter as a cornerback first and foremost, with the unique ability to also contribute now and then as a gifted wide receiver.

No. 3: Giants – CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado There are still some around the NFL who believe the Giants are going to draft Sanders here. It would make sense. But the way Schoen spoke at the NFL’s annual meeting has me questioning all of that, though. He made it clear: The Giants will not draft a quarterback if they don’t believe in that quarterback. It seemed like he was explaining in advance why the Giants aren’t going to pick Sanders, at least at No. 3. Hunter is right up there with Carter as the top two players in this class. The Giants will likely start him at corner and then give him a handful of plays each week at receiver.

Prospect to target: DI Darius Alexander, Toledo Although the Giants‘ interior houses one of the best defensive linemen in the game, Dexter Lawrence, there isn’t a lot outside of that, evidenced by the team’s 46.1 PFF run-defense grade on the interior after Lawrence went down in Week 13 in 2024. At 25 years old, Alexander possesses the strength to excel against the run, charting a 90.3 PFF grade in that facet last season.

Victor Cruz compares his time with Giants, Bears | USAToday.com

“And I’m like, well, I’m going to the Bears, a heralded organization, been around for a hundred years. Like, they absolutely run a high-level organization there. And I got there and I was looking around, I was like, this [expletive] is trash. Food was trash, ownership was trash, coaching staff was trash… It was just awful. In comparison to the Giants, where it was like gourmet, we got packaged lunch.”
