NFL draft rumors: Giants scouted every Shedeur Sanders game in 2024 | The Record
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah shared word on Thursday that the Giants attended every Colorado game this season, essentially following Sanders around the country.
“I was told by someone, outside the Giants organization but someone inside the league, that said the Giants had a presence at every single Colorado game this year,” Jeremiah said on Thursday’s 40s and Free Agents podcast. “They were following Shedeur Sanders around the entire season.”

New York Giants. Judging by the veteran QBs they've had their eye on, Milton may not fit the profile of what the Giants want at the current moment. Still, he's an option to consider. There is a world where Rodgers retires and Wilson heads back to Pittsburgh, leaving them with little options at the position. Even at the NFL Draft, a quarterback worthy of the No. 3 overall pick isn't a slam dunk to be available to them with the Titans and Browns ahead of them. With all that in mind, Milton is at least an option with some upside that could be available at a relatively low cost for Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen.

Stability in the Secondary. The five players projected to be starters in the Giants’ secondary — Deonte Banks, Paulson Adebo, Dru Phillips, Jevon Holland and Tyler Nubin — will all be 26 years old or younger when the 2025 season starts. Adebo and Holland are the new additions who should add value to New York’s single-high-heavy defense. If the Giants' defensive line is healthy, the pass defense could be a serious problem for opponents next season.

Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, New York Giants. Thibodeaux is a linear edge rusher with a quick first step and the short-area burst to close in on quarterbacks. He had 5.5 sacks in 12 games last season. But in 2023, Thibodeaux had his best numbers as a pro with 11.5 sacks and three forced fumbles.

New York Giants: B+. Paulson Adebo was one of my favorite free agents from this class, since he was playing like one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL before his unfortunate injury last season. Not only did New York grab him, but also former Dolphins safety Jevon Holland -- who is without a doubt one of the most versatile defensive backs in the NFL.
Now onto the quarterback situation. Who knows if Sam Darnold or Justin Fields are worth the contracts they got? I'm fine with the Giants brass passing on players they aren't sold on. Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson aren't exciting, sure, but maybe Shedeur Sanders finds himself with the Giants and is a franchise quarterback.

Stuck in struggle mode. The Giants paid Daniel Jones when they knew he wasn’t the guy, and then released him a season-and-a-half later. They opted against paying running back Saquon Barkley when they knew he was special. John Mara is letting GM Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll run it back in a bad year to need a quarterback in free agency or the draft.
