Breer outlined a realistic trade: New York gives up a 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-rounder to jump one slot. That’s a relatively small price if the team believes Hunter can be a game-changer at both wide receiver and cornerback. Still, the Giants might hesitate to give up extra picks when the roster has so many holes and the front office is under pressure to deliver wins.
The Browns are also reportedly high on Hunter, which makes the whole situation a game of chess. If Cleveland takes him at No. 2, the Giants likely settle for Carter—a move that would still boost their pass rush.
Bottom line: New York is in a solid spot. They can explore a trade-up, but they’re not desperate. If they stick at No. 3, they’re still getting a premium talent either way.
