My mock draft for the Giants on Monday is going to have zero picks for 2025 because I am going to keep trading down until all eight picks are traded away. It's for the best.

And if the Giants feel the same way, they'll take either Hunter or Carter. We'll find out in two weeks

@art_stapleton IMO, there’s no franchise QB at 3. Best player available

For months, consensus league-wide was Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter were the two best players in the 2025 NFL Draft. Period. The Giants want and need a franchise QB. Period. Don't use the second point to slander the first point. Have your opinion. Don't distort reality.

All 32 teams get the medical records from the combine rechecks. There’s not much framing to do as an agent in this spot..

Qualifies as promising. Now Abdul Carter is onto his visit with the Giants

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Abdul Carter’s medical recheck in Indianapolis today showed that the stress reaction in his foot is healing, there has been improvement and no surgery will be needed, per his agent Drew Rosenhaus. “It should be a non-factor with the teams at this point,” Rosenhaus said. https://t.co/0pWOiC19Ou

Russell Wilson is hanging at the Masters. He’s also made time to work out at Georgia Tech with some new Giants teammates, including Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson and Theo Johnson. Threw with Daniel Bellinger and Greg Dulcich in recent days, too. (via Russ on IG)

This isn’t solely about Shedeur

Neal @ericgrayfan

Drake Maye wasn’t a perfect prospect, the reason 99% of the fanbase wanted him(including Schoen wanting to trade up) is because he had elite tools you can develop. Other than accuracy I don’t know what Shedeur has, why would you force him at 3 just “to take a chance”

Notable for Abdul Carter's Giants visit - the medical rechecks in Indy are significant.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer

One quick clarification: Penn State DE Abdul Carter is still in Indy for combine medical rechecks (standard for guys injured at the time of the combine), so he won't arrive in Jersey until later in the day. He'll have dinner with the Giants tonight, and his 30 visit tomorrow.

You guys are completely missing the point. It's not about comparing the prospects. It's about the evaluation and the perception of who they will be. Everyone laughs when you bring up past evals and draft projections for guys who became stars or busts

@art_stapleton So, which QB is this year's "Patrick Mahomes" Art? C'mon...

Two weeks from now, the "All In with Art Stapleton" podcast will be back at MetLife Stadium doing our live broadcast from the Giants' Draft Party. Working on guests. Will be more of a preview show with the latest from the Meadowlands. More details to come. https://t.co/s2RVDBHR6v

Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson is visiting with the Bengals today after visiting with the Giants yesterday, per sources. UNC RB Omarion Hampton is with the Giants today after being with the Steelers yesterday. The latest visits for NYG in our tracker: https://t.co/WfBsHG7Mma

Where did I bring Shedeur up?

HJ Sports @HJSports_

@art_stapleton Mahomes had a cannon and was making throws only Aaron Rodgers was making in the NFL. The skill set was clearly there to be molded even if it was raw. Sanders literally has a bottom 10 arm, not a top 25 QB athlete has an insanely slow release time and his escapability is overrated

I never thought you were a bad consiglieri, Tom. I thought Santino was a bad don, rest in peace.

Papa G @papa_gardner11

This is the logic people used two years ago when they said to draft Malik Willis at seven.

Two weeks more. https://t.co/ku9oGlRWkX

The NFL’s draft advisory committee told Mahomes when he entered the draft that he would be a 2nd round pick.

BC @bjcohen76

@art_stapleton If you’re using Mahomes as an example, what were people saying about his traits like arm talent, ability to make off-platform throws, anticipatory throws, and using the whole field? The traits are what matter most and should be visible regardless of other factors.

Patrick Mahomes freelanced way too much in college. Texas Tech played nobody. That offense did not produce pro style quarterbacks. He’ll never get away with playing that way in the NFL. Not worth the first round pick. Just keep all of that in mind.
