We have to look at it. We must. If the Giants actually have self-assurance in Daniel Jones as the starter, then possibly drafting a quarterback won’t occur at all…Maybe Joe Schoen will choose to make (a person a lot more time) all over Jones, but this time the suitable way. Despite the fact that numerous of us won’t like this thought, right here’s yet another mock draft where New York provides parts about him.
*sigh, below we go*

Explanation
With Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze going fourth and fifth general, that left Marvin Harrison Jr. on the board for the Giants’ getting. Why not, proper? Even with not participating in the combine or his professional day, he is arguably the most effective receiver in the draft. Recording his next straight season of 1,200 obtaining yards, he caught 14 touchdowns for the Buckeyes in 2023. He is a complete prospect, with fantastic releases and an professional route tree. It will help that he’s 6𔃾″, helping his capability to earn 50/50 balls. In all, he is just a entire large receiver the Giants have not experienced in several years.
Nubin was additional in the next round to exchange the departed Xavier McKinney. Even with optimism with the existing security area (Jalen Mills and Dane Belton), Nubin will come in as a guaranteed factor. He’s now Minnesota’s all-time leader in interceptions and has the athleticism to be adaptable and impactful no make any difference in which he plays. Include in his ability to blitz effectively, and he reminds me of a Landon Collins-sort player but greater.
With the other 2nd-spherical select, it’s apparent Sanders was the greatest selection listed here. Just after all, we nonetheless don’t know if Darren Waller will retire or not. He may as perfectly make this select a lot easier. If it weren’t for the loaded weapons Texas experienced (Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mithcell, Jordan Whittington), Sanders would have experienced far better statistical quantities. He is a excellent vertical menace and will overmatch most linebackers. Sanders operates routes like a receiver, and however he isn’t the very best blocker, you can’t deny his ability to be a prime, trustworthy weapon. Apart from the Giants currently have sufficient blocking restricted finishes.
In round 3, we increase yet another weapon to the offense. Since, severely, Jones does not have any additional excuses to not produce after this draft. Corley is a fantastic athlete, nevertheless he is continue to learning the wideout place soon after actively playing functioning back at Western Kentucky for the duration of his very first couple of yrs there. But, he confirmed robust palms and the potential to make major performs with the ball in his fingers. Inspite of a crowded receiver area with Harrison and the incumbents in Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Jalin Hyatt, I can see Corley standing out and becoming a very long-phrase WR2/WR3.
On working day a few, we begin with Lloyd, who will likely not be an RB1 out of the gate. Even so, with his burst and prolonged velocity, he is a huge-play danger who, if you let him to get to the sideline, is long gone. Add in his fantastic fingers in the obtaining video game and his tolerance when finding the hole, Lloyd is a steal. He’ll be a full RB1 once he increases his vision.
Jones, standing at 6𔃼″, is an intriguing cornerback. But, the Giants will need another person to be a CB2 (no, we simply cannot do the Tre Hawkins III experiment once again). He was first-team All-ACC in 2023, starting 9 games for Boston University and racking up five interceptions and 8 pass breakups. He will shut down contested catches simply because of his lengthy size and just knows how to make plays on the ball as a entire.
The rest of the draft was incorporating depth at cornerback and on the offensive line.
