Giants have met with a number of backs in buildup to draft
The visits to the New York Giants by quarterback prospect Jalen Milroe, which is occurring Thursday in East Rutherford, is the one getting attention. The Giants, though, are also hosting another player on Thursday who could be a first-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Per NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Giants are hosting North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton for a ‘30’ visit.
That is an interesting one.
There is no chance the Giants would consider selecting Hampton, the No. 2 running back in the class behind Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty.
Would they select Hampton in the middle or late portion of Round 1 after a trade down. Considering GM Joe Schoen’s often-stated aversion to selecting running backs in the first round that seems highly unlikely.
This could be due diligence on the Giants’ part in the event that Hampton falls to No. 34, the Giants’ pick in Round 2.
To say the least, it is interesting that the Giants have spent a fair amount of time investigating the running back market in the upcoming draft class. Among backs they are known to have visited with are Hampton, Kaleb Johnson of Iowa, Kyle Monangai of Rutgers, Ollie Gordon of Oklahoma State and Quinshon Judkins of Ohio State.
Perhaps it is an indication they could be intent on adding another back to a position that already includes Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary.
