What the New York Giants’ ideal NFL Draft would look like | The Athletic

Giants beat writer Dan Duggan walks through the NFL Draft explaining what he would do with each of New York’s six selections, looking at options if the team goes all in to acquire UNC QB Drake Maye or see what drops to them at 6.

Select the best wide receiver on the board. The Giants are rumored to be closely monitoring the quarterback class, but they would be wise to select the best wide receiver available. Their wide receivers ranked 31st in receiving grade in 2023, and they haven’t had a premium threat in several years. LSU’s Malik Nabers would be an ideal fit as an explosive chess piece who led the nation in receiving grade last season.

6. New York Giants: WR Malik Nabers, LSU. The Giants pivot to wide receiver with the top three quarterbacks off the board. New York hasn’t had a Pro Bowl receiver since Odell Beckham Jr. in 2016. Nabers and Rome Odunze both have that kind of upside, but Nabers is the favorite for this pick, currently priced at +150 on DraftKings.

The Giants need a premium receiver to improve their passing attack, and WR Malik Nabers would be their immediate WR1 as someone who can play on the outside and in the slot. They are also slated to need some help on the interior of their offensive line. The versatile and experienced IOL Cooper Beebe could be an ideal option for them if he’s available early on Day 3.

Logan Ryan urges New York Giants to get Daniel Jones a top receiver | USAToday.com

“Daniel is tall, Daniel has an arm, Daniel is athletic. We know that,” Ryan said. “The problem with Daniel Jones has been his ability to stay healthy. If you don’t like that, take one of the best pass catchers available — (Malik) Nabers out of LSU or (Rome) Odunze out of Washington. Give that future quarterback, when you do get him, a top receiver. They need that….They have holes all over their roster. They need a great receiver. It’s a great receiver draft — get him at six.”

10. New York Giants. The team struggled to a 6-11 season, which earned the Giants the No. 6 overall pick in this year’s draft. Many expect that to be used on a QB, but Daboll told reporters that last year’s mess of a team and the playoff squad from 2022 aren’t as different as some might think.

The offense in New York is a major question mark, whether it’s a line that allowed 85 sacks in 2023 or a skill-position group that is among the weakest in the league. But no one expected much from a similar Giants team in 2022. Don’t count Daboll out. Not entirely.

Two years ago, the Giants shopped wide receiver Darius Slayton and squeezed him into an embarrassing pay cut when they couldn’t find an adequate deal. Now Slayton is returning the favor.
