Good or bad — Giants’ decision on Abdul Carter, Shedeur Sanders will be franchise-altering

Giants’ Draft Gamble: Passing on Shedeur Sanders Could Haunt New York

As the New York Giants approach the NFL Draft, a crucial question looms: Could making what seems like the correct decision ultimately prove detrimental? The scenario centers on quarterback Shedeur Sanders. What if the Giants opt to bypass Sanders, even with him seemingly a compelling option when their No. 3 overall pick arrives during Thursday night’s draft? Should they decline to select him, what if Sanders progresses into a genuine franchise NFL quarterback for another team?

The Weight of a Top Draft Selection

Typically, when an NFL team possesses a draft selection as high as No. 3 overall, the choice of player appears relatively clear. These premium picks are commonly expected to be immediate contributors, potentially evolving into Pro Bowl-caliber players – regardless of whether they precisely address an immediate roster need. The pressure is amplified for the Giants in this crucial NFL Draft decision.
