This may just be hopeful thinking but with two of our Edge rushers questionable, I would think Wolf will be looking to see who might be available via trade

Kayvon Thibodeaux is now 3rd on the Giants depth chart and has been the subject of trade talk with the drafting of Carter

Meanwhile the Giants could use some depth at WR and we have Boutte available for trade. While ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks we could get him for a 5th round pick that may be too low but Boutte plus a 5th rounder seems like it could be feasible

The New York Giants could be low on wide receivers this season...

Joe DeLeone talks about the New York Giants wide receiver room, and how it could be horrible without Malik Nabers. With only Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, Malachi Fields, Darius Slayton, the Giants could be in trouble.

minicamp 1 notes:

- Drake Maye had his best day in front of reporters. Threw deep TD passes to Hunter Henry + Rhamondre Stevenson, completed a back shoulder fade to AJ Brown, and had just three incompletions (dirted a screen vs slot blitz)

- Kayshon Boutte was one of the top WRs in a heavy rotation. Lined up at X with AJ Brown on the field with Brown at Z

- Caleb Lomu lined up at RT1 (Morgan Moses absent) and LT2

- Alijah Vera-Tucker participated in team for the first time this offseason, but he rotated with Ben Brown

- Elijah Ponder came inches away from breaking up a screen

My question would be, why would it be a Boutte plus ANYTHING. It would a trade of THEIR #3 edge, vs our #3 wide out. Why give them anything else. Need for need and a win/win for both teams

What’s wrong with Maye ? 3 incompletions ? Cmon man !

So good to finally have football back. Really excited to see what this offense will look like come regular season. If Maye builds from last year, we won't have as tough of a schedule as the teams that play us.

Still hopeful to see 3 areas improved before the season:

DE/OLB if Jacas cant be relied through the year. Landry is on the down term of his career, kinda on the hopeful note that some young guns will rise, which is risky for such an important position

TE - Hill's injury sucks. Seems like people have forgotten how invisible Henry was in the play offs, even against bad TE defenses. Raridon looks very interesting but his medical history scared me. Westover was the 52nd best player for us last year

ILB - it boggles me that we dont insurance for Spillane. Ellis sucks and people defending him are wrong

Vildor and Minor as the next guys up after Gonzo and Davis outside is a little uncomfortable. Need some good health at the top of the depth chart. Getting a boundary corner in round 2 or 3 next year is probably a priority.
