"Giants' Rookie Minicamp: Draft Picks, Undrafted Free Agents, and Tryouts Impress in Light Practice"

The New York Giants held a light workout on the first day of rookie mini-camp, with most of the 2023 draft class doing very little. The Giants have not put too much on the player’s plates for the two days of practice. There are 73 players participating in the mini-camp, including draft picks, undrafted free agents, veteran tryout players, rookie tryout players, and returning Giants. The Giants coach, Brian Daboll, has limited what they put in the first couple of days to help the players feel comfortable and play fast. Rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has moved past pre-draft criticism of his route running.

Assessing the New York Giants' Draft Class and Potential Cuts.

New York Giants' GM Joe Schoen's 2023 draft class is expected to make an instant impact on the team in areas of need. The seven players' Year 1 contributions are projected from least to most impactful, with Gervarrius Owens and Jordon Riley likely to begin the season on the practice squad. Tre Hawkins III is expected to see special teams snaps, while Eric Gray is expected to have a significant role in the Giants' offense. Deonte Banks is expected to be a starter, but his tendency to get grabby and press skills that need refining might lead to big plays and penalties against him in Year 1. Jalin Hyatt is expected to make a big impact on the Giants' receiving corps, while John Michael Schmitz is expected to be the most impactful player from the first day of camp, bringing the nastiness, grit, and football IQ that the Giants need in their offensive line.

"Giants' NFL Draft Strategy: Ideal Picks, Surprising Trades, and Outlier Selections"

The New York Giants' ideal NFL Draft would include Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks in the first round, followed by Minnesota center John Michael Schmitz in the second round. In the third round, the Giants could take a swing on game-breaking receiver Tank Dell from Houston. The fourth round could see the Giants add Illinois’ Sydney Brown as a physical strong safety, while the fifth round could bring in Old Dominion tight end Zack Kuntz and Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh. The sixth and seventh rounds could see the Giants take a shot on Army edge rusher Andre Carter, UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Ferris State edge rusher Caleb Murphy, and TCU wide receiver Derius Davis.

"NFL Draft Buzz: Center Position in High Demand, Controversial Opinions on Top Picks and RB Trades"

The 2023 NFL Draft has a shortage of starting centers, with four teams in desperate need of one. The top three centers on the board are John Michael Schmitz of Minnesota, Joe Tippmann of Wisconsin, and Luke Wypler from Ohio State. Tippmann is drawing comparisons to Frank Ragnow and could be the first center off the board, with the Seahawks and Jets both interested. Schmitz is rated as the top center by several teams, including the Giants, and is expected to be able to start on Day 1. Wypler is viewed favorably as a Day 2 pick and is strictly a center. The Texans and Cardinals are both high on Wypler, while the Jets coaching staff loves him and feels he's a perfect fit for their system.

"Assessing the Giants' 2023 Draft and Offseason Moves."

The New York Giants need to address the center position in the upcoming NFL Draft, but it remains unclear if they should use their 25th overall pick on a center. While centers have been selected in the bottom portion of the first round in seven of the last 10 drafts, analytics suggest that cornerback, wide receiver, safety, edge, and linebacker would be better value plays. The top centers in the 2023 draft class are John Michael Schmitz, Joe Tippmann, Luke Wypler, Steve Avila, Ricky Stromberg, Olusegun Oluwatimi, Juice Scruggs, and Alex Forsyth, but there is no consensus that any of them are actually a Round 1 talent.

Jalen Carter's Pro Day Struggles at Georgia.

Jalen Carter struggled at Georgia's Pro Day, while Nolan Smith and John Michael Schmitz impressed. Carter looked out of shape and did not work out, which could further hurt his draft stock. Schmitz, the only center in this year's draft considered an immediate starter, participated in position drills only and is drawing interest from several teams, including the New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks, and Buffalo Bills. Pass rusher Thomas Rush and Louisiana Tech cornerback Myles Brooks also had notable performances at their respective pro days.
