The clouds are lifting on what once was considered the Giants’ doomsday draft scenario.

“What if the Giants have a choice between Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter?” sounds a lot more optimistic than “What if the Giants can’t get either Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders?”

The Giants still plan to draft a quarterback, but the recent <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/25/sports/giants-bring-in-russell-wilson-as-stopgap-qb-solution/">signings of Russell Wilson</a> and <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/21/sports/giants-signing-jameis-winston-on-two-year-8-million-contract/">Jameis Winston</a> opened the possibility that the Giants could draft the best player available at No. 3 and wait to add a developmental prospect in the middle rounds.&nbsp;

Instead of panicking that Sanders might be picked at No. 2 by the Browns, the Giants could consider passing even if he is on the board.
