  20.  &lt;p&gt;Several players received such calls&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="eeTan8"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/"&gt;New York Giants&lt;/a&gt;’ rookie Abdul Carter is the latest player known to have received a prank phone call during the draft. Carter’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said &lt;a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1917614966565122489"&gt;Carter received a call&lt;/a&gt; telling him he was about to be selected with the &lt;a href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/"&gt;Jacksonville Jaguars&lt;/a&gt; on the clock at No. 2.&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="DnQmMv"&gt;“It’s unfortunate that these private numbers are getting to the people making the prank calls, said Carter’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus. “Abdul and I knew it was bs and didn’t even tell his family about the call.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  22. &lt;p id="1Y9Fid"&gt;The NFL has fined the &lt;a href="https://www.thefalcoholic.com/"&gt;Atlanta Falcons&lt;/a&gt; $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 on Wednesday after Ulbrich’s son, Jax, made a prank call to now-&lt;a href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/"&gt;Browns&lt;/a&gt; quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL draft&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p id="yBPNoh"&gt;Other players who received prank calls during the draft include the Browns’ Mason Graham, the &lt;a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/"&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/a&gt;’ Tyler Warren, the &lt;a href="https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/"&gt;Philadelphia Eagles&lt;/a&gt;’ Kyle McCord and the &lt;a href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/"&gt;Buffalo Bills&lt;/a&gt;’ Chase Lundt.&lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;p id="jBvKjn"&gt;The NFL is continuing to investigate the prank calls made to players other than Sanders.&lt;/p&gt;

  36.    <title>Survey: How many sacks will NY Giants rookie Abdul Carter have?</title>

  43.  
  44.  &lt;p&gt;Can Carter win the Defensive Rookie of The Year award?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="jtCXmI"&gt;Right now there are two big questions coming out of the New York Giants’ draft: &lt;/p&gt;
  45. &lt;ol&gt;
  46. &lt;li id="O3Ntry"&gt;How big of an impact will Abdul Carter have on the Giants’ defense?&lt;/li&gt;
  47. &lt;li id="EyLW7S"&gt;How much will Jaxson Dart play? &lt;/li&gt;
  48. &lt;/ol&gt;
  49. &lt;p id="raQoAP"&gt;Carter is currently the favorite in Vegas and on &lt;a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl"&gt;FanDuel&lt;/a&gt; to win Defensive Rookie Of The Year (+250). It’s hardly uncommon for a highly drafted pass rusher to win DROY, and there have been seven edge defenders who have won since 2010. &lt;/p&gt;
  50. &lt;p id="OTa0DC"&gt;Those seven pass rushers have averaged 9.0 sacks their rookie year, with Jared Verse being the outlier at 4.5 sacks last year. &lt;/p&gt;
  51. &lt;p id="FkRhqy"&gt;Vegas set the over-under at 7.5 for sacks in Carter’s rookie year. The Giants’ rookie has been compared to the likes of Micah Parsons and Von Miller. And while those are lofty comparisons, there are similarities in the explosiveness and fluidity in their games. &lt;/p&gt;
  52. &lt;p id="LJcOT8"&gt;Miller had 11.5 sacks as a rookie while Parsons had 13.0, so if the comparisons hold true, Carter could have a massive season for the Giants. That potential could also make 7.5 sacks a low bar to cross. &lt;/p&gt;
  53. &lt;p id="ABIApS"&gt;Of course, the Cowboys’ defense was ravaged by injuries in Parsons’ rookie year, so he was their primary pass rush weapon. Miller had Elvis Dumervil across from him for 14 games, but not much else. Carter, meanwhile, will need to split time on the field with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, as well as beat Dexter Lawrence and Darius Alexander to the quarterback. &lt;/p&gt;
  54. &lt;p id="ncqJ2O"&gt;The other question is how many games Jaxson Dart will start. Vegas set that over-under at 1.5 games.&lt;/p&gt;
  55. &lt;p id="q5XVKl"&gt;The Giants would likely prefer that he not start &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; games as a rookie. They likely want to give him the opportunity to mature without the pressure of carrying the franchise. The hope is that Russell Wilson will put an exclamation point on his career by leading the Giants back to the playoffs while Dart does his work during the week. Even if Wilson gets hurt or is ineffective, the team also has Jameis Winston as their primary backup at the position. &lt;/p&gt;
  56. &lt;p id="IbxVNq"&gt;However, if the team finds itself with meaningless games at the end of the year, it might put in the rookie to get in-game experience. There’s also the possibility that Dart matures more quickly than anticipated and beats out Winston to be the primary backup. &lt;/p&gt;
  57. &lt;p id="9idMVO"&gt;Could we see Dart start two games this year to get the “over”? &lt;/p&gt;
  58. &lt;p id="uyme2Q"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;New York Giants&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; fans and fans across the country. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/EFIUQ7/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sign up here&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  77.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  78.  
  79.  &lt;p id="OP5lBW"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/"&gt;New York Giants&lt;/a&gt; will hold their rookie mini-camp on May 9th and 10th. They’ve reportedly offered undrafted free agent contracts to 13 players. &lt;/p&gt;
  80. &lt;p id="HL7upX"&gt;Wide receiver Antwane “Juice” Wells stands out among the players whom the New York Giants reportedly made offers.&lt;/p&gt;
  81. &lt;p id="uHh2Vg"&gt;It’s become a fairly common tactic for teams that draft quarterbacks to add familiar faces. The familiarity can help shorten the young quarterback’s development curve and pre-existing chemistry can help both players acclimate to the NFL more quickly. &lt;/p&gt;
  82. &lt;p id="GOPE3Z"&gt;Wells is that familiar face for new Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, as the two played together at &lt;a href="https://www.redcuprebellion.com"&gt;Ole Miss&lt;/a&gt;. But will that familiarity be enough for Wells to make an impact on the Giants’ receiving corps?&lt;/p&gt;
  83. &lt;h2 id="WjmYjW"&gt;What does Wells bring? &lt;/h2&gt;
  84. &lt;p id="lYPLH0"&gt;[&lt;a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/2025/1/25/24351657/2025-nfl-draft-prospect-profile-antwane-wells-jr-wr-ole-miss-scouting-report-ny-giants"&gt;Prospect profile&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
  85. &lt;p id="P176Br"&gt;Wells lacks stand-out size and athleticism checking in at the NFL Scouting Combine at 6-foot¾-inch tall, 201 pounds and  with 8⅞-inch hands. Likewise, he had a pretty poor 4.58-second 40 yard dash. &lt;/p&gt;
  86. &lt;p id="kunkS6"&gt;However, he was one of the most explosive receivers in college football last year. Wells was sixth in college football last year in average depth of target at 17.8 yards downfield while also being 16th in yards after catch at 8.3 per reception. His ability to attack downfield and rack up yards after the catch certainly gives credence to the nickname “Juice”. &lt;/p&gt;
  87. &lt;p id="qzNyGl"&gt;In his appearance on Jon Gruden’s Quarterback Class, Dart identified Wells as the “savviest” of Ole Miss’ receivers. He understands how to release against off and man coverage, as well as use misdirection to create opportunities for separation. Wells has enough explosiveness to get initial separation out of his breaks, as well as enough speed to maintain it. He also has solid vision as a ball carrier, which helped him pick up those yards after the catch. &lt;/p&gt;
  88. &lt;p id="IcINvn"&gt;As you may expect from a receiver who caught passes nearly 20 yards downfield, he has good ball skills and can locate, track, and adjust to the ball in the air.&lt;/p&gt;
  89. &lt;h2 id="HD3nrw"&gt;Can he stick? &lt;/h2&gt;
  90. &lt;p id="Dbalqz"&gt;There are reasons why Wells ultimately went undrafted. His size and athletic profile are uninspiring, and he only had 28 receptions despite Tre Harris being lost for four (and a half) games to a groin injury. &lt;/p&gt;
  91. &lt;p id="U9CiLJ"&gt;However, Wells did have almost 1,000 receiving yards in his first year at South Carolina (2022), and 1,250 yards (and 15 touchdowns) the prior year at James Madison. His 2023 season was cut short by a foot injury, while he was used as primarily a deep threat or screen receiver at Ole Miss. &lt;/p&gt;
  92. &lt;p id="Y0Rbht"&gt;His production earlier in his career suggests untapped upside, and Wells has a real chance to make waves in the offseason program. And of course, he already has experience catching passes from Dart in games and practice. That rapport could give him a built-in advantage over the other undrafted receivers. Not only will Dart be used to looking for Wells, but the two will already have a feel for timing that could result in eye-catching receptions.&lt;/p&gt;
  93. &lt;p id="sKbQPM"&gt;Wells will need to make his hay on special teams, but the potential for explosive plays in camp and preseason gives him a good case.&lt;/p&gt;

  111.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  112.  
  113.  &lt;p id="xMTPi7"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/"&gt;New York Giants&lt;/a&gt; entered the third day of the 2025 &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; with two players on their mind for Pick No. 105: Cam Skattebo (&lt;em&gt;RB, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.houseofsparky.com"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Arizona State&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) and Marcus Mbow (&lt;em&gt;OL, Purdue)&lt;/em&gt;. Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll discussed the decision in their post-draft press conference. They acknowledged that it was improbable both players would fall to their following selection at No. 154.&lt;/p&gt;
  114. &lt;p id="6sxoPJ"&gt;A tide could be turning, ladies and gentlemen, for Mbow fell to Pick No. 154. Mbow started 32 of 36 games through college and was a Second-Team Freshman All-American as a right guard. He’s played 668 snaps at right guard and 1,167 at right tackle. Mbow allowed just 51 pressures over 1,092 pass-blocking snaps, and he had just four sacks allowed. &lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;p id="omwMI7"&gt;The Giants coached Mbow at the &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/senior-bowl"&gt;Senior Bowl&lt;/a&gt;, where he was part of the National Team, led by coaches such as Mike Kafka (&lt;em&gt;offensive coordinator&lt;/em&gt;) and James Ferentz (&lt;em&gt;assistant offensive line coach)&lt;/em&gt;, among other Giants’ coaches. The Giants also hosted Mbow for a Top-30 visit. &lt;/p&gt;
  116. &lt;div id="2acq3K"&gt;
  117. &lt;iframe src="https://www.mockdraftable.com/embed/marcus-mbow?position=OL&amp;amp;page=GRAPH" width="480" height="651" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  118. &lt;/div&gt;
  119. &lt;p id="avQ2cx"&gt;For what it’s worth, Mbow’s arms grew half an inch at his Pro Day. Here’s my scouting report and synopsis on Mbow:&lt;/p&gt;
  120. &lt;p id="RXjslI"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Strengths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  121. &lt;ul&gt;
  122. &lt;li id="ZmKHyg"&gt;Solid overall height &lt;/li&gt;
  123. &lt;li id="zZpraH"&gt;Feather feet – moves smoothly &lt;/li&gt;
  124. &lt;li id="d1ncmj"&gt;Excellent athlete with good agility and change of direction&lt;/li&gt;
  125. &lt;li id="PNDjxR"&gt;Excellent closing burst and control as a mover &lt;/li&gt;
  126. &lt;li id="8Pui5v"&gt;Excellent reactive quickness and athletic ability&lt;/li&gt;
  127. &lt;li id="FqWULU"&gt;Fluid hips to open/close&lt;/li&gt;
  128. &lt;li id="3o4rmT"&gt;Very explosive out of his stance &lt;/li&gt;
  129. &lt;li id="qHVhQz"&gt;Solid overall play strength and lower leg drive&lt;/li&gt;
  130. &lt;li id="i4ja8W"&gt;Good quick feet to position himself – frames blocks well&lt;/li&gt;
  131. &lt;li id="o4TvPk"&gt;Good overall pass protector who wins with positioning &lt;/li&gt;
  132. &lt;li id="HTzczI"&gt;Lightning quick jump-set and vertical set&lt;/li&gt;
  133. &lt;li id="5LrMnR"&gt;Elite recovery to transition off hammer to looper on twists/stunts &lt;/li&gt;
  134. &lt;li id="3CU865"&gt;Heavy hands into contact as run blocker&lt;/li&gt;
  135. &lt;li id="R3NmOc"&gt;Excellent angle discernment into contact as a run blocker&lt;/li&gt;
  136. &lt;li id="kAJucE"&gt;Takes elite angles up to the second level&lt;/li&gt;
  137. &lt;li id="vGG4av"&gt;Quickly fires out of stance – good overall run blocker&lt;/li&gt;
  138. &lt;li id="qUjwaG"&gt;Moves well with offensive line unit as a zone blocker&lt;/li&gt;
  139. &lt;li id="ydWrW4"&gt;Smooth operator in space – weapon as a screen blocker&lt;/li&gt;
  140. &lt;li id="ET1bS1"&gt;Provides good force into contact – heavy into COMBO blocks&lt;/li&gt;
  141. &lt;li id="Skz5Gq"&gt;Very smart and aware in the trenches&lt;/li&gt;
  142. &lt;li id="WIqXBA"&gt;Elite hustle through the whistle – very aggressive player&lt;/li&gt;
  143. &lt;li id="ALHJtS"&gt;There’s some positional versatility, although his arm length may hurt his ability to play tackle&lt;/li&gt;
  144. &lt;/ul&gt;
  145. &lt;p id="WOuc3R"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Weaknesses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  146. &lt;ul&gt;
  147. &lt;li id="l3B0zF"&gt;Underweight – looks small for an offensive lineman&lt;/li&gt;
  148. &lt;li id="couElz"&gt;Only 32” arms, short arms for an OL, especially an OT&lt;/li&gt;
  149. &lt;li id="wrVGeC"&gt;Must play with a lower center of gravity – especially due to lack of mass&lt;/li&gt;
  150. &lt;li id="f0P27g"&gt;Hand timing/placement are still a work in progress&lt;/li&gt;
  151. &lt;li id="zLsNqg"&gt;Way too many penalties – had 7 in 2024 and 16 total&lt;/li&gt;
  152. &lt;li id="2wxfNA"&gt;False starts way too frequently &lt;/li&gt;
  153. &lt;li id="Reo287"&gt;Play strength is only solid – anchor could be a problem against elite competition &lt;/li&gt;
  154. &lt;li id="3sn33G"&gt;Could be more patient in pass protection &lt;/li&gt;
  155. &lt;li id="M1bvSG"&gt;Does have elite recovery vs. twists/stunts BUT does get baited too far out of position &lt;/li&gt;
  156. &lt;li id="p32omO"&gt;Can – at times – tip his assignment off by looking at him presnap&lt;/li&gt;
  157. &lt;li id="971afW"&gt;Has not played OG since 2022 – likey where he will play in NFLc&lt;/li&gt;
  158. &lt;/ul&gt;
  159. &lt;p id="YJ0mY4"&gt;Mbow is an undersized offensive lineman with short arms, but he overcomes those physical deficiencies with athleticism, intelligence, and competitive toughness. He’s very nimble and quick on his feet, with an explosive nature to his game. He takes good angles of attack with elite adjustment ability, due to his ability to open his hips and his controlled movement skills. Although he hasn’t played guard since 2022, that may be his likely destination when he turns pro. &lt;/p&gt;
  160. &lt;p id="twvzWw"&gt;However, Mbow must improve his anchor in pass protection, and could stand to be more patient and use his hands more effectively. Overall, his athletic ability can be an asset, but he must iron parts of his game out while adding more sand in his pants if he’s going to be successful in the NFL.&lt;/p&gt;
  161. &lt;h2 id="I21RVp"&gt;Backside blocks&lt;/h2&gt;

  164. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Marcus Mbow, a thread... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's start with his effectiveness as a back-side blocker.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His feather feet + angle discernment are top-notch, it allows him to remove pursuit defenders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Whether it's scooping to cut off the BS or 2nd level space blocks, the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Giants?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Giants&lt;/a&gt; gained a weapon. &lt;a href="https://t.co/qgJ3EtFsVo"&gt;pic.twitter.com/qgJ3EtFsVo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nickfalato/status/1916554739707269157?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 27, 2025&lt;/a&gt;

  167.  
  168. &lt;/div&gt;
  169. &lt;p id="yVW6aT"&gt;Above is a thread on X of Mbow and what he offers. I truly enjoyed his tape, specifically in pass protection and as a back-side run blocker. His ability to judge angles, fires of his stance, be an offensive line heat-seeking missile, and his overall control as a mover is such an asset for the Giants.&lt;/p&gt;
  170. &lt;p id="Wz4MKZ"&gt;Mbow won on the backside in a variety of ways. He understands how to frame his blocks and use his hands to manipulate the defensive player’s intentions and remove them as a threat, which also helps the runner find cut-back lanes. Smart is synonymous with Mbow.&lt;/p&gt;
  171. &lt;h2 id="EvWZdR"&gt;In space&lt;/h2&gt;
  172. &lt;div id="YkuEQF"&gt;
  173. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center" data-conversation="none"&gt;
  174. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Mbow is an asset in space due to his redirection ability and overall control.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Elite feet/angles + balance w/ enough strength to alter defenders in space. He closes width suddenly and makes defenders pay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rare movement skills for a 300+ man: screens, FS/BS stretch, 2nd level    &lt;a href="https://t.co/FksiYwdRFT"&gt;pic.twitter.com/FksiYwdRFT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nickfalato/status/1916554749895221410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 27, 2025&lt;/a&gt;

  177.  
  178. &lt;/div&gt;
  179. &lt;p id="NOmNCr"&gt;Designing screens with Mbow in space should allow the Giants to be effective in that area, which is something they’ve struggled with over the years. Mbow locates, closes width, and destroys the enemy with tenacity and a mean streak. He frequently pulled on counters and operated skip-pulls in a balanced manner. &lt;/p&gt;
  180. &lt;h2 id="HLo2Az"&gt;COMBO blocks&lt;/h2&gt;
  181. &lt;div id="uQsjzV"&gt;
  182. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center" data-conversation="none"&gt;
  183. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Has DAWG in him with these COMBO blocks, great for DUO or IZ.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stays low through the near hip w/ good timing on the climb. Included a FS reach and one rep vs. Abdul Carter at the end.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One other note, Mbow tended to look at his assignment presnap, slight tell. &lt;a href="https://t.co/lCI0KLfMoK"&gt;pic.twitter.com/lCI0KLfMoK&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nickfalato/status/1916554752382390611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 27, 2025&lt;/a&gt;
  184. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  186.  
  187. &lt;/div&gt;
  188. &lt;p id="wPYVar"&gt;Mbow’s profile suggests a strength deficiency; this may be the case when moving backward in pass protection but not when he’s moving forward. Mbow drives his feet through contact with solid aiming points on double teams, and he quickly redirects to find his target at the second level. He explodes low to high and uncoils his hips into contact to move defenders off the line of scrimmage.&lt;/p&gt;
  189. &lt;h2 id="8MCKJA"&gt;Pass protection&lt;/h2&gt;
  190. &lt;div id="ovHkIn"&gt;
  191. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center" data-conversation="none"&gt;
  192. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;PASS PROTECTION&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mbow's smooth/controlled vertical set + his quick jump set keeps an EDGE guessing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ability to mirror and stay low allowed him to maximize his less-than-ideal anchor, albeit wasn't a liability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mbow has a variety of ways to engage/punch to dictate contact. &lt;a href="https://t.co/IQqWqw9P6n"&gt;pic.twitter.com/IQqWqw9P6n&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nickfalato/status/1916557744112390640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 27, 2025&lt;/a&gt;
  193. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  194. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  195.  
  196. &lt;/div&gt;
  197. &lt;p id="mpCArm"&gt;I love watching Mbow’s feet in pass protection. His feet move so quickly, and they’re precise — whether it’s a run or a pass, Mbow understands angles and how to close the width on his attack. Watch the plays and see the variety he uses with engagement, the quickness in his jump set, and the smooth nature of his vertical while staying framed and protecting each of his edges. He may be able to exist as a tackle with slightly above 32-inch arms; if he does, it’s due to his feet/framing. &lt;/p&gt;
  198. &lt;h2 id="S6DvFi"&gt;Could improve&lt;/h2&gt;
  199. &lt;div id="uAuAfQ"&gt;
  200. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center" data-conversation="none"&gt;
  201. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Mbow's punch timing/placement are erratic, at times, which leaves him vulnerable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This may be due to the varied punches he does throw? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mbow wasn't frequently bullied or anything, but he was pushed back a few too many times to ignore, especially when projecting it forward. &lt;a href="https://t.co/xK0b7Tr6yp"&gt;pic.twitter.com/xK0b7Tr6yp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Nick Falato (@nickfalato) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nickfalato/status/1916559216011051016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 27, 2025&lt;/a&gt;
  202. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  203. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  204.  
  205. &lt;/div&gt;
  206. &lt;p id="s6ZRo0"&gt;Mbow varies his punches, but his timing and placement are not always consistent, and there are times when he gives defenders easy access to the backfield due to poor placement; this must be improved upon at the next level. Also, there are plays where his weight seems to be an issue.&lt;/p&gt;
  207. &lt;p id="OBbefd"&gt;Mbow is 303 pounds, which is very light for an offensive lineman. His anchor isn’t terrible, but cementing himself into the deck against better NFL competition could be a task difficult to overcome if Mbow fails to add strength. We see how he gets bumped back a few times on tape against a stronger defensive lineman. It’s something to take note of, and it could be a reason why this talented young man was available in the fifth round. &lt;/p&gt;
  208. &lt;h2 id="ofEzDx"&gt;Final thoughts&lt;/h2&gt;
  209. &lt;p id="oL8OxR"&gt;The Giants identified and located a talented offensive lineman with excellent movement skills and control. He’s explosive with good acceleration, fluid hips, he can bend, and he moves very well laterally. New York will try him at right tackle behind Jermaine Eluemunor, and Mbow may be the future right tackle for New York. If tackle does not work, he has the athletic traits to kick inside; he played guard as a freshman. Either way, he does need to add strength to succeed at the next level. This was another quality add by Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll, and the New York Giants. &lt;/p&gt;

  227.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  228.  
  229.  &lt;p&gt;Did the Giants have a second home run draft in two years?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="tZ13e7"&gt;As the dust from the 2025 &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; settles, we can get some perspective on the &lt;a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/"&gt;New York Giants&lt;/a&gt; draft class. &lt;/p&gt;
  230. &lt;p id="Upmjz9"&gt;The full story of the class won’t be written for a while yet, and three years is standard when it comes to evaluating a class. The very earliest impression is that this could be a very strong class, and the Giants seemingly got value at almost every pick. &lt;/p&gt;
  231. &lt;p id="AiExgK"&gt;GM Joe Schoen’s work has been almost universally praised around the NFL media ecosystem. In aggregate, the only team to have a more highly-regarded class is the &lt;a href="https://www.patspulpit.com/"&gt;New England Patriots&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  232. &lt;div id="Jf72gb"&gt;

  234. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;  2025 NFL Draft Team Grades&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I´ve compiled 24 evaluations of the 2025 NFL draft and totaled the team grades. &lt;br&gt;Sorted by GPA for all 32 teams. I sorted the 24 evaluations by GPA as well. From left (soft) to right (hard graders).&lt;br&gt;Thanks to all who give out grades every year!   &lt;a href="https://t.co/HW69yxX702"&gt;pic.twitter.com/HW69yxX702&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— René Bugner (@RNBWCV) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/RNBWCV/status/1916838588173729846?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 28, 2025&lt;/a&gt;
  235. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  236. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  237.  
  238. &lt;/div&gt;
  239. &lt;p id="xHNg1w"&gt;I won’t be giving out a formal grade for the Giants’ draft — again, I believe in giving prospects three years. Development isn’t linear and nobody comes out of college as a finished product. We need to see the players on the field, in the Giants’ schemes, and how they fit with their new teammates. &lt;/p&gt;
  240. &lt;p id="1Xrqzc"&gt;We’ll have to wait and see how the Giants’ 2025 draft class fares on the field. It’ll be fascinating to see how they integrate Abdul Carter and Darius Alexander into the defense, as well as how the offensive players develop. &lt;/p&gt;
  241. &lt;p id="nDgwb6"&gt;We might not see the full return on investment right away, but the potential is certainly exciting. &lt;/p&gt;
  242. &lt;p id="p4pHA0"&gt;But for now we can take a look at the class and assess the value and fit, and maybe start to get an idea of how it will all come together. &lt;/p&gt;
  243. &lt;h2 id="sTdOBf"&gt;Offense&lt;/h2&gt;
  244. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="w70CjI"&gt;1.25 - Jaxson Dart, QB, &lt;a href="https://www.redcuprebellion.com"&gt;Ole Miss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;4.105 - Cam Skattebo, RB, &lt;a href="https://www.houseofsparky.com"&gt;Arizona State&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;5.155 - Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue&lt;br&gt;7.219 - Thomas Fidone II, TE, Nebraska&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  245. &lt;p id="bmasOa"&gt;I’m not going to say that the entire class hinges on Jaxson Dart and whether he becomes a franchise quarterback. The fact that Daniel Jones didn’t pan out doesn’t make Dexter Lawrence any less of a player.&lt;/p&gt;
  246. &lt;p id="RNxfRk"&gt;But we also know that how Dart develops will color how this class is perceived by fans and the media alike. There’s a lingering sentiment that drafting Dart was a desperation move, but those criticisms seem as though they were written before the draft then left in to drive clicks. But more on that later.&lt;/p&gt;
  247. &lt;p id="wMH26h"&gt;Dart has pretty much all of the traits that the Giants want in order to operate their offense the way it’s envisioned. I expect we’ll get plenty of frustrating reports out of camp as he works on mechanics and technique, but also highlight reel throws when he’s turned loose to &lt;em&gt;just play&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  248. &lt;p id="7eWLlB"&gt;Ideally, we won’t be seeing Dart in any more than in a mop-up role until 2026. One of the problems with quarterback development in the NFL is that if they’re drafted highly, they’re forced onto the field right away. Very few quarterbacks are truly “pro ready”, yet they’re often forced to work through their issues on the playing field, which forces a return to old — or bad — habits. &lt;/p&gt;
  249. &lt;p id="VH0Ilb"&gt;Realistically, we’ll likely see the most of Cam Skattebo. Skattebo was a fantastic value at 105th overall, yet some expected him to go as early as the second round. Ultimately, the running backs came off the board later than expected, and the draft run on them did not officially start until the Giants picked Skattebo. He’ll have the opportunity to work in a rotation with Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary right away, and he brings a physicality and skill set that the other runners lack. &lt;/p&gt;
  250. &lt;p id="tgPGeY"&gt;Offensive lineman Marcus Mbow also went far later than expected, and the best explanation we can piece together is that he dropped out of Day 2 “because reasons.” Every so often the NFL collectively talks itself out of someone who played well but doesn’t have a clear projection. That’s often how good teams get great players: They get slandered as a “tweener” (or some such), until a team like the Baltimore Ravens takes them and everyone else realizes they missed the forest for the trees.&lt;/p&gt;
  251. &lt;h2 id="mOWnpT"&gt;Defense&lt;/h2&gt;
  252. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="TujArb"&gt;1.3 - Abdul Carter, edge, Penn State&lt;br&gt;3.65 - Darius Alexander, iDL, Toledo&lt;br&gt;7.246 - Korie Black, CB, Oklahoma State&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  253. &lt;p id="0ia7PI"&gt;We don’t need to belabor the point at the top of the draft.&lt;/p&gt;
  254. &lt;p id="kazZs1"&gt;Taking Carter was the correct decision. Really, barring an absolute haul — such as the &lt;a href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/"&gt;Browns&lt;/a&gt; got for Travis Hunter — the Giants were correct to not trade down.&lt;/p&gt;
  255. &lt;p id="icIO7k"&gt;They were also correct to pick up Kayvon Thibodeaux’s fifth-year option. &lt;/p&gt;
  256. &lt;p id="gAv8XX"&gt;I’ve mentioned this before, but the Giants didn’t just have a &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; pass rush in 2024. All things considered, they had one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. &lt;/p&gt;
  257. &lt;p id="Dsw6Cz"&gt;The Giants finished tied for eighth in sacks and fifth in sack rate, despite missing Lawrence and Thibodeaux for chunks of the season and Brian Burns playing injured. The Giants’ defense also saw the third-fewest pass attempts, and had to lug around an offense that averaged 14.25 points per game outside of their outburst against the Colts. Their pass rush production under those circumstances is, honestly, impressive.&lt;/p&gt;
  258. &lt;p id="kEkKto"&gt;That’s the defense to which the Giants added one of the most explosive pass rushers to come out of college in recent years. Carter is still in the process of learning his trade, with just one year of experience as an edge defender. However, he still had 24 tackles for a loss, 12.0 sacks, and an insane 43 hurries.&lt;/p&gt;
  259. &lt;p id="9EjlHP"&gt;How the Giants work Burns, Thibodeaux, and Carter onto the field will be one of the biggest stories of the offseason. But it’ll also be one of the most enjoyable aspects of the offseason from a purely football perspective.&lt;/p&gt;
  260. &lt;p id="7VtiO2"&gt;Carter needs to continue to hone his craft and get stronger, but it’s entirely possible that he emerges as a steal at No. 3 overall. &lt;/p&gt;
  261. &lt;p id="MS544k"&gt;Then we have Alexander. The Toledo tackle was on people’s radar throughout the year, but didn’t really burst onto the scene until the &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/senior-bowl"&gt;Senior Bowl&lt;/a&gt;. There, he showed off his athleticism and disruptiveness and put the NFL on notice that he belongs with the big-school prospects. &lt;/p&gt;
  262. &lt;p id="QJ3f8m"&gt;Alexander isn’t the block-eater that many fans wanted, however he’s a good fit in the penetrating defense that Shane Bowen wants to call. The improvement in run defense will come from blowing up plays behind the line of scrimmage while the back seven defenders come up to fill gaps in their run fits. &lt;/p&gt;
  263. &lt;p id="0spSjH"&gt;Much like Mbow and Skattebo, Alexander was a tremendous value where the Giants got him. I personally had a high second-round grade on him based on his tape, and wouldn’t have been surprised to see him sneak into the bottom of the first round after his Senior Bowl and Combine performances.&lt;/p&gt;
  264. &lt;p id="kT5FyF"&gt;Credit to Schoen and the Giants’ scouting department for accurately setting up their board and reading the rest of the NFL.&lt;/p&gt;
  265. &lt;p id="WQGsvF"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  266. &lt;p id="sv4Y7a"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We’ll mix in &lt;strong&gt;BOTH ACTIVE AND RETIRED PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;. It won’t be easy to figure it out in one or two guesses, but some of you might be able to nail it.&lt;/p&gt;
  295. &lt;p id="UzewZY"&gt;After you correctly guess the player, you can click “Share Results” to share how you did down in the comments and on social media. We won’t go into other details about the game as we’d like your feedback on it. How it plays, what you think of it, the difficulty level, and anything else you can think of that will help us improve this game. You can provide feedback in the comments of this article, or you can fill out &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12Pu36-d__kiILrINAY58kKVEJH_afDAtCK79P7o56rI/edit"&gt;this Google Form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  328. &lt;p id="xT736v"&gt;It’s now on Daboll to blend all these pieces together and make it work — especially on the defensive side.

To make sure all of them put up numbers and get after the quarterback.&lt;/p&gt;

  340. &lt;p id="Svpcy9"&gt;No. 105 &lt;a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/"&gt;New York Giants&lt;/a&gt;: HB Cam Skattebo, &lt;a href="https://www.houseofsparky.com"&gt;Arizona State&lt;/a&gt; (Big Board Rank: 51)&lt;/p&gt;
  341. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="9slRss"&gt;Skattebo was RB3 and the No. 51 overall player on the PFF Big Board, making this a strong value pick for the Giants at the top of the fourth round. He doesn’t have elite speed, but he excels in many areas that translate well to the NFL. Skattebo ranked above the 85th percentile in PFF rushing grade in both gap and zone schemes in 2024 and was the only running back besides Ashton Jeanty to force more than 100 missed tackles on the ground last season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  342. &lt;h5 id="6URZym"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/nfl/giants/2025/04/29/cam-skattebo-new-york-giants-legend-arizona-state-nfl-draft/83323873007/"&gt;Cam Skattebo: Inside legend of NY Giants NFL Draft pick | The Record&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
  343. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  344. &lt;p id="mOgixv"&gt;Skattebo used to watch WWE with his late grandfather, so in high school, teammates began referring to him as "Nature Boy," an homage to the 16-time world wrestling champion, Ric Flair. He embraced that so much, Skattebo would scream out Flair's trademark "Woo!" whenever he trucked a defender.&lt;/p&gt;
  345. &lt;p id="F4nsTe"&gt;That happened so often, physicality became his calling card. It's the common thread in his game from the streets of his northern California hometown where he used to put on his other brother's helmet and shoulder pads and run into telephone poles and prove his toughness, to Sacramento State and then Arizona State, and now the New York Giants, who selected the star running back with the 105th pick of the fourth round in the 2025 &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  346. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  347. &lt;h5 id="lOdbn7"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/quarterbacks-2025-nfl-draft-ranking-best-situations-cam-ward-shedeur-sanders"&gt;Cam Ward to Quinn Ewers: Ranking the best situations among all 13 drafted QBs | FOX Sports&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
  348. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="pGXfr9"&gt;3. Jaxson Dart, New York Giants Situation: He is the third quarterback on the depth chart behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, so it's hard to imagine that Dart will play much this year.  That certainly could change late in the season if coach Brian Daboll believes he's progressing quickly enough, or especially if the Giants struggle. The GM/coach on their hot seats might want to show their bosses a glimpse of a better future. Either way, it's all OK for Dart, because the Giants absolutely view him as a franchise quarterback. That's why they traded back into the first round to get him. They think Daboll will somehow get enough work in with Dart to turn him into their starter by 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  349. &lt;p id="xR0JJI"&gt;&lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1641761&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pff.com%2Fnews%2Fdraft-biggest-gambles-of-the-2025-nfl-draft&amp;amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bigblueview.com%2F2025%2F4%2F30%2F24420480%2Fgiants-news-rumors-4-30-eli-minority-ownership-interest-abdul-carter-darius-alexander-headlines" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Biggest gambles of the 2025 NFL Draft | PFF&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;25. New York Giants: QB Jaxson Dart, &lt;a href="https://www.redcuprebellion.com"&gt;Ole Miss&lt;/a&gt;. Pick Grade: Below Average&lt;/p&gt;
  350. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="K2OYZD"&gt;Opinions on Dart vary, but the Giants traded up to get their guy. His profile matches that of a starting-caliber quarterback, grading above the 89th percentile in five of PFF’s stable metrics, including a 94th percentile mark on early downs. Ole Miss’ offensive issues aside, Dart was the highest-graded passer in the 2025 draft class and showed good downfield accuracy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  362. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="3KctRw"&gt;Adding Thomas Fidone to for tight end depth was more of a quiet need entering the draft for the Giants. New York already has Theo Johnson — a 2024 fourth-rounder who showed some flashes last year — atop the depth chart, along with Daniel Bellinger (in the final year of his rookie deal) and 33-year-old blocking tight end Chris Manhertz playing on a one-year deal. Given his competition, Fidone has a shot to make the team, but it’s far from a guarantee&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  364. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="680VB1"&gt;5. New York Giants. Day 3 pick who could surprise: Marcus Mbow, G, Purdue.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Considered a potential top-100 pick, Mbow fell to Round 5, mostly because of positional-fit questions. The Giants will be hoping he can provide depth at both guard and tackle as a rookie and show enough to be considered a long-term option, especially with right guard expected to be a need after the season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  374. &lt;p id="brOHcX"&gt;According to Over the Cap, the Giants signed six free agents but only lost one that might have counted in the formula, that being outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari, who signed with the Eagles.  Ojulari’s deal might have meant an extra seventh round pick for the Giants, except that was cancelled out by the signing of backup quarterback Jameis Winston.&lt;/p&gt;

  422.  &lt;p&gt;After playing 16 seasons for the New York Giants, former quarterback Eli Manning is reportedly interested in becoming a minority owner of the team.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="tlgqNJ"&gt;Following in the footsteps of Tom Brady and Richard Seymour, two former players who recently became minority owners of the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants legend and quarterback Eli Manning is reportedly in the midst of putting together a bid to buy a minority stake in the team in played 16 years for.&lt;/p&gt;
  423. &lt;p id="eeRn8Q"&gt;This past February, the Giants announced the Mara and Tisch families (the former of which has owned the team since 1925) had retained investment bank Moelis &amp;amp; Co. in hopes of exploring a minority, non-controlling stake in the franchise. The month prior, Manning said he would like to buy a stake in the Giants in that opportunity ever arose.&lt;/p&gt;
  424. &lt;p id="OnUjYV"&gt;Per &lt;a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-29/eli-manning-said-to-put-together-bid-for-new-york-giants-stake?embedded-checkout=true"&gt;Bloomberg&lt;/a&gt;, Manning has spoken to a handful of individual investors, including some retired players.&lt;/p&gt;
  425. &lt;p id="5DSYQS"&gt;Manning, of course, spent 16 seasons with the Giants, leading them to two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots. &lt;/p&gt;
  426. &lt;p id="jYraKf"&gt;Reportedly, up to 10 percent of the Giants is currently for sale and the team has been deemed worth upwards of $8 billion, per sports-team investors and advisers. Thus far, any and all negotiations are still ongoing and no final decisions have been made.&lt;/p&gt;
