The mail’s here! Surprise! It’s a special draft day edition of the Big Blue View mailbag. Warren Schuman asks: My son and I were debating a hypothetical for ‘25 and wanted to get your opinion. Let’s say the Giants draft Maye or McCarthy at 6. And then the Giants and Jones go on to have a very good season. Let’s say 10-7…wild-card…win one playoff game. And Jones plays every game, throws 30 TDs, 10 INTs, 3500 yards 67% completion…etc. At that point what would the trade value be for Jones, and what would the trade value be for their rookie QB with the bubble wrap on? And given the trade value, c ..read more

Jeremiah makes a now-familiar selection for the New York Giants, giving them LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers. 6.

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images Most Giants fans are set on a receiver in the first round On the eve of the 2024 NFL Draft, New York Giants fans know who they want to see their team draft. Well, the position, anyway. They’re pretty well split on exactly “who”. In our final Reacts poll just before the draft, we asked Giants fans who they would want the team to draft in the first round. The choices offered were, Drake Maye (QB, UNC) Rome Odunze (WR, Washington) J.J. McCarthy (QB, Michigan) Malik Nabers (QB, LSU).

Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images Is Nabers the receiver for the Giants? LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers should be a very familiar name at this point. He’s been featured at the top of pretty much every mock draft of the 2024 NFL Draft cycle. He’s also been the player most commonly mocked to the New York Giants at sixth overall. He’s one of the most explosive offensive players in the draft, highly productive, and plays a position that’s commonly cited as the Giants’ greatest weakness. It seems like a natural fit. So what does Nabers really bring to the table, and is he the right receiver fo ..read more

Danielle Parhizkaran/NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK Money aside, the team situation matters more in the long run Thursday evening’s first round of the NFL Draft can’t get here soon enough. Just about everything that can be said about the top quarterback prospects has already been said, unless photos surface of one of them in a gas mask bong or having an accident driving an ATV this week. What hasn’t been talked about very much, though, is these quarterbacks’ chances for success in the NFL depending on the team that selects them. At this point in 2023, Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud were cons ..read more

One name you’ll hear mentioned as being among the top tackles is Oregon State right tackle Taliese Fuaga. But could he wind up being the best tackle to come out of this draft class? Fuaga doesn’t have the athletic upside of some of the other tackle prospects, however he’s a confident and sound technician who does just about everything well. He also plays with a mauler’s mentality while rarely putting himself in bad positions. Fuaga’s position as a ..read more
