Abdul Carter on the Giants’ Radar as They Plan 2-Pick Draft Deal

looks like the New York Giants might be thinking of trading down in the upcoming NFL draft, possibly making a move with the Chicago Bears. The idea is that they’d swap first-round picks, with the Bears taking Abdul Carter and the Giants picking up two second-round picks. This would allow the Bears to grab the pass-rusher they want, while the Giants would get some extra draft capital.

But here’s the twist: the Giants might not be totally sold on Carter, especially with the talent they already have in Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Plus, the Bears have already filled most of their needs, so they’re in a good position to deal their second-round picks. If the Giants take the trade, they could focus on addressing their cornerback needs, which are still a bit of a weak spot.

The trade idea includes the Giants picking up Michigan cornerback Will Johnson, a big talent with great ball skills. He could be a great fit for the Giants’ defense, but there’s a bit of a risk. Johnson has dealt with injuries, including turf toe, and the team would be relying on him and Paulson Adebo to stay healthy and lock down the cornerback position.

Meanwhile, Abdul Carter’s foot injury is still a concern. He’s recovering from a stress fracture, but it looks like he’ll be fine going into the draft. Despite adding some depth to their pass-rush, the Giants could still be tempted by Carter’s versatility and playmaking ability. It’s a tricky decision, but the Giants are weighing all their options for the draft.
