Joe Schoen will put it all on the line with this Giants QB call | New York Post

Can Joe Schoen sing?

Can he carry a tune? Can he belt out a melody? Does he enjoy Broadway musicals?

If the answer to any of these is “yes,’’ then Schoen needs to get behind a microphone and belt out “This Is The Moment,’’ the “Jekyll & Hyde” showstopper that aptly defines this precise juncture Schoen finds himself in as he attempts to return the Giants to relevance.

Travis Hunter: How NY Giants view two-way star at NFL Combine | The Record

Asked who would win in a showdown between Travis Hunter the wide receiver and Travis Hunter the cornerback, Hunter playfully quipped: “Travis Hunter.”

Hunter wants to play 100% of the snaps on both sides of the ball in the NFL, and that’s what he’s telling teams in his meetings when the topic arises. His reasoning: “”They say, ‘Nobody has ever done it the way I do it,’ [and] I tell them, ‘I’m just different.’”

Day 2 Target: CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss. They need to find a way to add at least one veteran who could become a starter, but they should also be utilizing the draft to add to the room. Getting Trey Amos in the second round would be a huge addition.

He draws a comparison to Carlton Davis in his scouting report from Cory Giddings. At 6’1″ and 190 pounds, he has desirable height but also has the quick feet to mirror receivers in man coverage. He’s a willing tackler who could help improve the overall attitude and talent of the Giants secondary.

2025 NFL Draft: The ideal haul for every team in the first three rounds | PFF

New York Giants: QB Cam Ward, CB Benjamin Morrison, Edge J.T. Tuimoloau.

The Giants haven’t concealed their desire or need for a high-profile quarterback, and they’d be thrilled if they could take Ward without having to maneuver out of No. 3. While Sanders has appeal with Malik Nabers and the New York market, Ward (6.3% big-time throw rate) has the higher ceiling, and Brian Daboll could help improve his internal clock.

It’s good that New York possesses two other picks in the top 65 because the team’s defense could use upgrades at cornerback and edge rusher. Landing Morrison’s upside at No. 34 is worth a swing, while Tuimoloau (87.3 PFF run-defense grade) could help fill Azeez Ojulari’s void — and even take over for Kayvon Thibodeaux in 2026.

Minnesota LB Cody Lindenberg and DL Jah Joyne roverlapped with Giants safety Tyler Nubin, who garnered plenty of praise from both of his former teammates.

“I learned so much from Tyler,” Lindenberg told Giants.com. “To have him play behind me, get the calls from him, coverage calls, it feels so … there’s not a moment in my mind where I have to turn around and think, ‘Does this guy got my back? Does he know what’s going on?’ There was absolutely none of that. I felt so comfortable with him behind me, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to hopefully someday play alongside him, play against him, and just see him in the next steps coming forward.”

“When I talk about leaders, he was leading by example,” Joyner added. “That’s definitely a guy I look up to, honestly. He doesn’t have to be in your position group. He’s a safety. Definitely a leader.”

Giants had ‘really good’ meeting with Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer at NFL Combine | SNY.tv

Big Blue has already met with Ohio State pass rusher Jack Sawyer. “I really liked their meeting,” Sawyer told reporters Wednesday. “It was really good. [Brian] Daboll and those guys do a really good job over there. They’re a great team and they’ve had some really successful seasons. They’ll have good seasons in the future too.”

“The Giants are a Disaster”

“No way I would want to play for the New York Football Giants. The New York Football Giants are a disaster.”

2025 NFL Draft: Browns, Giants and Saints among teams most likely to pick quarterback in first round | NFL.com

These Giants scream “veteran quarterback” to me — even if they end up drafting one this year at some point — and there already has been chatter about the Rams’ Matthew Stafford potentially being in play. The veteran options are limited, and there are potential drawbacks with all of them. But entrusting a rookie passer with leading the Giants back to competitiveness in Year 1 feels like a stretch to me.

If the Giants strike out on landing an unquestioned veteran starter, their likelihood of drafting a quarterback in Round 1 will rise significantly. But I think going the free-agent/trade route is Plan A right now.

32 NFL players who should change teams in the 2025 offseason | ESPN.com

WR Jalin Hyatt. The 2024 season was a disaster for Hyatt. He started the summer as the No. 2 receiver behind Malik Nabers (ahead of Darius Slayton) and finished with eight catches on 19 targets for 62 yards and no touchdowns. That was in 16 games with three starts. It was clear from watching Hyatt that he was unhappy with the situation. This is a 2023 third-round pick with incredible speed who averaged over 16 yards per catch as a rookie. Considering his discontent, it might benefit everyone for him to have a fresh start elsewhere.
