Giants NFL Draft trade scenarios: If NY moves down from No. 3, what could it get? | The Athletic
To trade up from No. 34, the Giants would need to be mindful of leap-frogging the Browns if they intend to take a quarterback with their second pick. The 20th pick, owned by the Broncos, could be the sweet spot to ensure the Giants get their choice of the second-tier quarterbacks because the Steelers are also in the market for a QB with the 21st pick.
The Jimmy Johnson trade chart isn’t a perfect guide, but it’s at least a reference point (and something the Giants use). The 20th pick is worth 850 points on the Johnson chart. The 34th pick is worth 560 points. To make up the difference on the chart, the Giants would need to deal a third-round pick (No. 65) and a fifth-round pick (No. 154), although future picks could be included to reduce the cost in 2025 capital. No one would complain about that price if the Giants found their franchise QB in such a trade.

NFL Scout Says There’s ‘Real Chatter’ Shedeur Sanders Could Be Drafted After Dart | Bleacher Report
According to Zac Jackson of The Athletic, an anonymous high-ranking AFC scout said there is “real chatter” around the league that Dart could be taken ahead of Sanders, which was incomprehensible just over a month ago.
ESPN’s Matt Miller backed Jackson’s report, noting that he spoke to a scout who predicted Dart would go before Sanders. The scout added that multiple teams have Dart ranked ahead of Sanders on their draft board due to the belief that Dart has “better physical traits” and “more developmental upside.”
Shedeur Sanders: I tell teams what I think, some like it and some don’t | Pro Football Talk
One of the things that’s been discussed about Sanders is how he handles his meetings with teams that might be interested in selecting him. That topic came up during a Thursday appearance on NFL Network and Sanders said he is always going to be himself even though he knows that might not be what some teams want to hear during their visits.
“When I go visit these coaches and when I go to all these different franchises, I ask them truly what I think and how I feel,” Sanders said. “Some get offended, some like it, some don’t. Make some people uncomfortable, some people invite that. They know what type of person and what type of player they’re gonna get out of me, so I just have to make sure, you know, what type of culture or what type of dynamic I’m going to have with them also.”
NFL Draft 2025: If Giants don’t land Travis Hunter, can they actually depend on Deonte Banks? | NJ.com
Banks, the 24th overall pick in 2023, has mostly struggled through two seasons. Yes, he is no longer the Giants’ No. 1 corner, since they just signed Paulson Adebo. But Banks is still starting.
The arrival of Hunter would effectively bury Banks, who has been yet another underwhelming premium draft pick by general manager Joe Schoen. But if Hunter doesn’t wind up in East Rutherford, Banks would have another shot in Year 3. Realistically, it’s his last chance to prove himself.
NFL legend urges Giants to draft Travis Hunter | USAToday.com
Pro Football Hall of Famer Devin Hester recently said in an interview that the Giants would actually be the “ideal” team to take Hunter.
“That’s a fit for him,” Hester said. “I don’t know how it’s going to pan out when you talk about Travis playing offense and defense, but I can see him playing some offensive plays with the Giants as well as playing DB.”
Jalen Milroe details his running ability as his “superpower”
Alabama QB Jalen Milroe with us on @gmfb this morning, not shying away from his running ability being a big part of what he does: “Everybody wishes they had my superpower of having my legs and my arm. … If you don’t like it, stop it.” pic.twitter.com/MdU1MA648L

2025 NFL Draft: Meet our favorite running back fits for NY Giants | The Record
Kyle Monangai, Rutgers: The former Don Bosco star rushed for more than 1,200 yards each of the past two seasons for the Scarlet Knights. Serious Ahmad Bradshaw vibes for Giants fans. His 4.60 40-yard dash at the Combine might get used by detractors to show he’s not a blazer, but that’s not Monangai’s game. He’s not slow by any stretch, so for a team that might be looking to steal the 5-foot-9, 220-pound back on Day 3, it was a welcomed sight.
Drew Lock agrees to return to Seahawks | Pro Football Talk
Lock has agreed to terms on a contract with the Seahawks. Lock, 28, previously spent two seasons with Seattle. He was a part of the Russell Wilson trade in 2022, heading to the Seahawks after playing his first three seasons with the Broncos.
Lock spent 2024 with the Giants, appearing in eight games with five starts. He finished the season having completed 59.1 percent of his passes for 1,071 yards with six touchdowns and five picks.
