Considering the state of this Giants roster — and the reality that Thibodeaux’s salary cap figure for 2025 is a reasonable $9.9 million — it could certainly make sense for Schoen to keep Thibodeaux, even if he picks Carter, and further bolster an already legit defensive front.

In the latest mock draft from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department, Carter was projected to head to the Cleveland Browns with the No. 2 overall pick and Graham was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 5. Sanders was also mocked to the New Orleans Saints with the No. 9 selection.

Standout pass rusher Abdul Carter had 23 career sacks at Penn State, and he could become the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft later this month.
