The image of the NFL draft becomes clearer, but a new rumor of Todd Mcshay could have everything exploded. It had always been a sure supposition that the Titans of Tennessee would take Qb Cam Ward with the choice n ° 1 – and it was essentially cemented now, but that is what happens after that was completely broken.
So the @Titans have respectfully canceled private training sessions with Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, which makes everyone, but they will take Cam Ward n ° 1.
And now, I’m starting to hear more and more on Hunter in Cleveland at No. 2.. It would mean Abdul Carter against Sheder …– Todd McShay (@ mcshay13) April 5, 2025
If the Browns select Travis Hunter at No. 2, things become chaotic. It would be an intelligent choice for Cleveland, and honestly the best selection for them for them. There are two legitimate prospects not to be missed in this class in Hunter and Abdul Carter, and although the hypothesis was that the Browns would take Carter – it is also a luxury when you already have Myles Garrett as Rusher de Bord. At the very least, Hunter offers you offensive and defensive options, rather than just overloading the rush to the passes.
This then creates a nightmarish scenario for the New York giants at n ° 3. One of the most difficult decisions a team will be confronted in the draft of the NFL 2025: make the best player available in Carter, even if he plays the only position in which you have put yourself, take SheDer Sanders and hope that you have found a quarter of a franchise, both.
N ° 1: Selection of Abdul Carter
It would not be a bad choice, but it does not functionally make the giants much better immediately, and it is a problem. It is a team that invested a top 5 in Kayvon Thibodeaux in 2022, then carried out an exchange of superproductions for Brian Burns in 2024.
Although Thibodeaux has not completely turned off as an elite rusher, he is only 24 years old, developing, and he was not terrible to the point that you need to find a replacement. It is an absolutely usable on -board rusher.
You cannot write Abdul Carter to put it in rotation. You cannot functionally write Carter and move the thibodeaux or burn in the rotation. Basically, you must write it and try to find a trading partner for Thibodeaux, which is most likely to be moved to this scenario. At this point, your best return could be a 3rd round at bestWhich looks a bit like terrace chairs.
No. 2: Selection of Sheder Sanders
It was always a strong possibility, but the issues are considerably increased when you send the consensus player n ° 1 to the draft to take the second best quarter-arre.
The problem here is simple: it looks too much like 2019 again. It was at this point that the giants made a choice of despair in the quarter-Arrière and ended up with Daniel Jones-and we know how it ended.
Eight first -round pro quisters have been selected After The giants chose Jones. There is a very real risk that history is repeated. In addition, it is not clear if QB is a very urgent need at the moment after the Giants have signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, the plan of the organization seeming to wait until next year or later to really find a QB franchise.
No. 3: Exchange of choice
It is a very real possibility. The question becomes: how much the giants would go low and what would they obey in return?
If we examine the order project and the needs of the team, there are two organizations to take a tour in a potential agreement: the Panthers (n ° 8) and Bears (n ° 10). In a perfect world, you would like to imagine that the giants return to n ° 8, obtaining a future choice of 1st round from the Panthers, while landing Sanders – but it may not be realistic.
There is a commercial relationship between the panthers and the giants arising from the trade of Brian Burns. However, Caroline is unlikely to exchange a future choice of 1st round under the new director general Dan Morgan – especially after having had to lose a lot of choice in the Bryce Young trade in 2023. This would potentially mean accepting a 2nd round, 3rd round – and more, which is a bad return.
Bears GM Ryan Polish love Roll and treat, but n ° 10 is a big fall for the giants. In addition, taking a future 1st from a ready to break out organization under Ben Johnson is risky like hell. Suppose for a dry that Chicago makes the series of the playoffs. This 1st next year could be at the end of adolescence or in the early 1920s. The decision to take place may not be worth returning a top 3 choice.
In addition, if you go to n ° 8, there is a very real possibility that the jets select Sanders at n ° 7, and the best you can do is take an offensive line player. It would be good – but disappointing.
So what should The giants do it?
Let’s talk about it in the comments. If you are Joe Shoen, do you take the best rusher of this class in Abdul Carter? Ignore the noise above you and take Sheder Sanders? Or are you going entirely in a different direction?
