The New York Giants are approaching the NFL Draft with the No. 3 overall pick, facing pressure to make impactful decisions that will shape the future of the franchise. Key players like Abdul Carter, Jalen Milroe, and Darius Alexander are in the spotlight as the Giants evaluate their options. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are keeping their plans flexible, with the possibility of drafting a quarterback still on the table despite signing veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

Linebacker Abdul Carter from Penn State is a promising candidate, praised for his potential to become a top pass rusher akin to Micah Parsons, despite some injury concerns. The Giants also eye Jalen Milroe, a dynamic quarterback from Alabama, whose ability to grow under seasoned coaches could lead to comparisons with Jalen Hurts. The mock draft outlines a strategic approach to build a robust defense and an explosive offense as the franchise aims to reclaim its competitive edge.
