The story of the Giants’ NFL Draft can be whether or not they draft Shedeur Sanders or not — and why.
They’ve assured that would be the case with Thursday’s return to Colorado for a personal exercise with Sanders solely per week out from the draft’s first spherical, when the Giants will decide No. 3 total.
Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll and the Giants’ intensive work on Sanders has been well-documented, from attending quite a few video games and practices deep into final fall all over touring to Sanders’ latest professional day.
Positive, the timing and logistics of organising these non-public exercises through the busy draft season will be tough. Returning this late to Boulder, Colo., nevertheless, unequivocally signifies two issues:
That Sanders stays in consideration by the Giants, and that the Giants have lingering questions on him that should be answered in particular person.
“When this happens so late in the process,” former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum tweeted on Tuesday, “either there’s a big disagreement in their building on their evaluation or they’re reacting to new information.”
Perhaps Sanders’ camp leaked the Giants’ deliberate go to to juice up the quarterback’s sliding draft inventory. Perhaps somebody within the Giants’ constructing needed it on the market to push their agenda on the participant or the decide.
Both approach, the consequence was a variety of eyebrow-raising about why this week’s Giants go to to Colorado is critical.
Bear in mind the Giants’ late November photograph op subsequent to Deion Sanders at a Buffaloes follow when most NFL groups had been off the street by then? What, the group nonetheless doesn’t have a consensus and closing analysis on the participant and particular person? And that’s a superb factor?
The Giants group bought caught Twitter-watching once more on Tuesday and seemingly tried its finest to make clear that Sanders was removed from the one quarterback prospect receiving a late non-public exercise.
Texas’ Quinn Ewers, one would assume, would even be into consideration in that first-to-second spherical vary.
If the Giants aren’t scrambling right here, although, they’re on the very least gathering extraordinarily late intel on the quarterbacks, together with a participant in Sanders that ought to be in play for them as excessive as No. 3.
And this coming solely a pair weeks after Schoen repeatedly insisted that the Giants wouldn’t simply take a quarterback to take one.
It has the texture of possession wanting each stone unturned. It has the texture of a group that has not but decided. It seems like a franchise that will draft the son of Deion Sanders subsequent week however nonetheless has questions on whether or not it ought to.
