Draft question of the day: Travis Hunter at receiver or corner?

2 days ago | bigblueview.com | Chris Pflum

Photo by Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft is almost here and this year’s draft is going to be hugely consequential for the New York Giants. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that it could determine the course of the franchise for the next five years. This is also an incredibly unusual draft with intrigue at almost every level and at every position. The BBV mailbag is already stuffed with questions and we are been picking a few out to answer along the way.
Giants Reacts Survey: Should the Giants trade up from 34th overall?

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images The New York Giants are currently sitting as perhaps the wildcard in the 2025 NFL Draft. Nobody seems sure as to what the Giants are going to do at any point in the draft. They will certainly have one of the three players commonly assessed as a “blue chip” talent available to them at 3rd overall. On the flip side, they’re in pretty desperate need of a Quarterback Of The Future, with only Jameis Winston under contract for 2026 and nobody for 2027 and beyond.

Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images We’re less than two days away from the 2025 NFL Draft, and we can finally — fully — close the door on the New York Giants trading up with the Tennessee Titans for Cam Ward. Titans GM Mike Borgonzi stated in a pre-draft press conference on Tuesday that the Titans have come to a consensus to keep the first overall pick.
2025 NFL Draft - Walter Nolen, iDL, Ole Miss - Prospect profile

Petre Thomas-Imagn Images The 2025 NFL Draft has a very deep class of defensive lineman. Not only are there great players in this draft class, but there’s a very broad set of skills available to suit pretty much any need. Ole Miss defensive lineman Walter Nolen isn’t the big block-eating tackle we normally think of when we picture “defensive tackle”. However, he has an impressive burst and can be highly disruptive when attacking gaps.

Brett Davis-Imagn Images The class of edge defenders could be the driving force in the 2025 NFL Draft. This year’s EDGE class is going to determine how the first round plays out and we could see a run on pass rusher start almost immediately in the first round. Georgia edge defender Jalon Walker could be the prospect who kicks that run off, thanks to impressive athleticism and an incredibly versatile skill set.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images There’s a sense that the 2025 NFL Draft is weak. It isn’t, but it is unusual in that it lacks star power on offense at the top. The biggest-name quarterback might be the third one off the board, while the top “receiver” might wind up playing cornerback. Looking purely at the offensive side of the ball, the two best players might just be a tight end and a running back. So it’s understandable that evaluators could be a bit off balance.

Dale Zanine-Imagn Images The safety position occupies an interesting place in the discussion of positional value. Most safeties don’t directly impact pass defense, the pass rush, or run defense. They can — and do — contribute to all of them, but they aren’t the primary actors. In many cases, that causes their value to slip some in the eyes of teams. However, great safety play can expand defensive playbooks, shrink offensive playbooks, and literally change the way a team is able to play defense.

Robert Hanashiro-Imagn Images Quarterbacks around the NFL should be on notice for the upcoming season; the EDGE class in the 2025 NFL draft is preparing to make their lives miserable. This year’s crop of edge defenders and pass rushers is the best in recent memory. It has the potential to be the deepest and most talented group of pass rushers to come out of college in well over a decade — if not longer. The New York Giants already had a fierce pass rush in 2024.

Gary Cosby Jr.-Imagn Images Linebacker play could be on the verge of returning to it’s old level of importance in the NFL. The surge in defenses running two-high coverage shells to counter explosive passing offenses has allowed for a resurgence in running games league-wide. Considering that the base defense is now a nickel look, that places even more importance on finding versatile linebackers.
