Giants news, 3/28: Malik Nabers, Jayden Daniels, J.J. McCarthy, more headlines

New York Giants news for Thursday Good morning, New York Giants fans! NFL Draft: ‘A lot of people think the Giants’ guy is J.J. McCarthy’ According to ESPN, many NFL insiders believe the Giants really do have eyes for McCarthy. Here is a summary of the current quarterback situation beyond the first pick, where the Chicago Bears will almost certainly select Caleb Williams: The Washington Commanders are still going through their process at No. 2 and being tight-lipped about it. Some people think they’ll take Jayden Daniels, others think Drake Maye, but I don’t think...

2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan

Karen Warren/Houston Chronicle via What are the Giants looking for in a cornerback? Michigan cornerback Mike Sainristil doesn’t have many of the traits that normally get evaluators excited. He’s short (5-foot-9), has okay (4.47) speed, and poor length (30 7/8 inch arms). However, any time you have a cornerback with six interceptions and two touchdowns in a single season, he warrants a closer look. Sainristil started his career at Michigan as a receiver before transitioning to the defensive side of the ball full time in 2022. That explains his ball skills and why...

McCarthy real? Or, is it the Giants trying to force a quarterback-hungry team like the Minnesota Vikings to get ahead of them at No. 6, giving the Giants a better chance to land the wide receiver they want in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Matt Miller’s 7-round New York Giants mock draft haul

Malik Nabers Giants get a No. 1 wide receiver AND a quarterback ESPN’s Matt Miller penned a full seven-round mock draft on Wednesday. Here is how it turned out for the New York Giants. Round 1 (No. 6) — Malik Nabers, WR, LSU Miller writes: The Giants’ offense ranked No. 29 in offensive points last season (14 per game), as quarterback Daniel Jones tore the ACL in his right knee and the offensive line surrendered 85 sacks (most in the league).

However, this draft is quite deep at other premier positions as well, and this is a great group of cornerbacks. There’s plenty of talent at the top of the draft class, as well as hidden gems who could help out almost any scheme run in the NFL.

2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Payton Wilson, LB, NC State

Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports Will Wilson be the first linebacker off the board? It’s a strange feeling to be heading into the NFL Draft and know that the New York Giants don’t need a quarterback. The duo of Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden turned into a very solid unit in 2023, giving the Giants their best linebacker play since the days of Antonio Pierce and Kawika Mitchell. But just because the Giants don’t need a linebacker doesn’t mean the can’t select one in the 2024 NFL Draft. If so, the Giants could look to continue to add athleticism to the second level...

Big Blue View mailbag: Draft scenarios, other NYG roster questions

The mail’s here! Jeffrey Greenberg asks: With so much attention going to whether the Giants would trade up for a QB, here’s another thought: would they trade up for Marvin Harrison Jr.? My rationale: He’s thought to be a generational talent, and some put him as the top player in the draft. With 4 QBs that may go in the top 5 picks (including by a team that may trade ahead of the Giants), getting MHJ could mean trading up just one or two spots, likely a modest day 2 or 3 pick in addition to #6. Would they and should they do this to get a foundational piece for years to...

2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Calen Bullock, S, USC

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports Can Bullock help solidify the Giants’ secondary? Will the safety position continue to be devalued in the 2024 NFL Draft? That’s going to be an interesting question to follow this year. This year’s safety class isn’t as highly regarded as the cornerback class, which will likely hurt its stock as a whole. In general, safeties need to be able to impact the passing game and come away with turnovers to be drafted highly. That could boost the stock of USC safety Calen Bullock, who had some buzz coming into the 2023 season only to lose...
