It appears unlikely that the New York Giants will draft a quarterback second overall.

Ameer Abdullah Could Be Traded During Draft
Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah is a candidate to be traded during this year's draft, and he's more likely to be moved than Theo Riddick because Abdullah is in the last year of his deal and his role is less defined after the team signed LeGarrette Blount in free agency. The Lions are also […]
Mason Rudolph Tied To Patriots
Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph is increasingly being tied to the New England Patriots, who may see him as the perfect protege to Tom Brady. New England has picks Nos. 23 and 31 after trading receiver Brandin Cooks to the Rams. With Brady still showing effectiveness at 40 years of age, Rudolph obviously wouldn't have […]

Giants Not Expected To Pursue Dez Bryant
The New York Giants are unlikely to pursue free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant, in the opinion of SNY's Ralph Vacchiano.
