New York Giants news for Saturday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Giants mock draft tracker: Malik Nabers still top choice, support for Rome Odunze rises
It’s all about wide receiver in mock drafts for the New York Giants. In this week’s version of our Giants mock draft tracker, 36 of 54 mocks (66.7%) have the Giants selecting a wide receiver.
Malik Nabers of LSU continues to be the consensus choice. This week, 25 mock drafts (46.3%) connect Nabers to the Giants. There is growing support for Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze to be the pick at No. 6. Eleven mock drafts (20.4%) have Odunze going to the Giants at No. 6.
Beyond that, Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt was the choice in seven mock drafts (12.9%).
For more on Nabers—and his teammate Jaylin Daniels—watch Ed Valentine’s interview with Zachary Junda of SB Nation’s And The Valley Shook on a recent episode of the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast.

6. New York Giants, Malik Nabers, WR, LSU. If the Giants are going to run it back with Daniel Jones, they might as well give him a true No. 1 wide receiver for the first time in his career. Nabers has the talent to give the G-Men an element they have missed since Odell Beckham Jr.’s heyday.

6. New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU. For Daniel Jones to have a chance to reprove himself as the Giants franchise QB coming back from a torn ACL, he needs a legitimate No. 1 pass-catcher. Malik Nabers is the latest LSU wideout who should star at the next level.

Giants coach (and former Pro Bowler) decides to stay and not leave for rival | NJj.com
Former Pro Bowl safety Mike Adams will remain a member of the Giants coaching staff. The Washington Commanders put in a request to interview Adams, a New Jersey native, for their DB coaching position.
Adams joined the Giants last season as an assistant special teams coach. The team announced on Thursday that Adams will now serve as an assistant secondary coach, working with defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator Jerome Henderson and safeties coach Mike Treier.
Should Giants let Saquon Barkley test free agency? What would the RB’s market look like? | The Athletic
Former NFL GM Randy Mueller believes Barkley would be one of the best available offensive players, given where the other positions stand a month away from free agency.
“This is just my opinion, I could see making a case for him being the top offensive guy on the free agent board for some teams,” Mueller said. “If I’m a team with an underperforming running game, and feel like I need a shot in the arm, I don’t think it’s crazy money. So it’s risky (for the Giants) to not tag him unless you’re okay with him leaving, I think.”

22. New York Giants Year 1 hits: WR Jalin Hyatt, CB Deonte Banks
Hyatt didn’t exactly rekindle all of the magic he had at Tennessee winning down the field on a regular basis. But averaging over 16 yards per snag as a rookie demonstrated there’s a bright future for him if the development as a route runner continues. Sixth-round pick Tre Hawkins was respectable as a rotational cornerback. Second-round pick John Michael Schmitz really struggled with power before his injury. Banks had some hiccups in coverage but mostly dealt with No. 1 receivers in man coverage and snagged two picks while knocking away 11 passes.
