The giants pass on the potential quarter of the franchise in the new NFL Mock Draft project

With a shining hole in Quarterback, New York Giants Advance the writing of their quarter of the future and make a surprising selection in the NFL.com Lance Zierlein analyst The last mockery project.

In Zierlein’s mockery, the giants with needs in the quarterfinals saw that the Abdul Carter of Penn State and Miami’s Cam Ward leaving the number 1 and 2, respectively.

Instead of selecting Cam Ward from Colorado, on the 3rd place, Zierlein has Giants to pass Sanders in favor of his teammate Travis Hunter at number 3 in general.

Hunter has played corner and receiver and is a dynamic player in both positions. This type of flexibility can fill two potential holes on the list.

The giants and Darius Slayton are likely to break away from the free agency. They will seek to add a player to the core of Malik Nabers, Wan’Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt, a unit that has combined for 210 receptions, 1,965 meters and 10 touchdown. Nabers drove the road with 109 receptions, 1,204 meters and seven touchdows.

Hunter can be that player added to offense. He ended the season ranked in the top 5 in FBS in receptions (94), receiving sites (1,258) and receiving touchdowns (15). According to Pro Football Focus, Hunter ranked third among Power 4 receptors with at least 500 snapshots and fourth in Power 4.

On the other end, Hunter can also help a secondary that recorded the second interception (5) and allowed 3,869 welcoming courts and 23 touchdows. Hunter can join the former round of Deonte Banks, Dru Phillips, Cor’Dale Flott and Tre Hawkins III to form a solid and young unit.

The winner of the 2024 Heisman trophy registered 25 approaches, four interceptions and 11 pass deficiencies like a corner. He received 89.3 Pff PFF classes for defense and 90.7 for coverage. He was a real corner of locking in college, and his abilities can be transferred to the NFL.

Last season, Hunter drove FBS with 1,483 pieces, 714 per crime, 748 in defense and 21 on special teams. He played 714 out of 823 (86.8%) of the main offensives and 748 of 902 (82.9%) of the main defensive, 1,460 out of 1,725 ​​from Scrimmage equivalent to 84.6%.

No other FBS player played in over 56 percent of his team’s snapshots in 2025.

It seems that the giants consider Hunter to be more of a corner defender as Albert Breer from Sports Illustratedwho explained: “I think it is harder to find a great corner than a big receiver, and its ceiling is probably a little higher than a defensive back. Also, as I see it, it is easier to light the month on offense than in defense. ”

The giants are expected to add a quarter to the free agency, but they could still add one to the project, depending on how the Council is shaking. If he adds a quarter veteran, such as Matthew Stafford, through trade or Russell Wilson, through a free agency, he might be more inclined to design Hunter. New York can then use a choice of day 2 to write and develop a perspective of quarters.
