Here the Giants trade out of six creating a bidding war between the Raiders, Vikings, and Broncos for Michigan's JJ McCarthy. The Giants send the sixth pick to Las Vegas in exchange for the 13th overall pick, Las Vegas' first-round pick in 2025, and their third-round pick in 2025. The Giants give up 1600 in value while returning 1150 points in 2024 and anywhere from 3265-690 points in 2025 depending on where the Raiders picks end up.

The Giants would use the 13th pick on Rome Odunze in this scenario who may be the player the Giants were already targeting before trading down.

This is the best trade scenario for the Giants as they're trading for picks in 2025 where they'll be better suited to draft a quarterback. The Giants still get their top receiving threat while making it easier to trade up for a quarterback in 2025 if they fall out of the range to select one.

The Giants here are also betting on the Raiders being bad which isn't a terrible bet. The Giants are picking against a first-year head coach and a rookie quarterback which could lead to the team landing a top-five pick just like the Bears did with their trade with the Panthers. Typically the Giants wouldn't get this much value in a trade down, however the Broncos and Vikings looking for a quarterback gets the Giants too much value to pass up unless they're in love with JJ McCarthy.
