When the college football season wraps up, you know what time it is—draft season! And this year, things are already going wild. Forget your average quarterback shuffle or defensive lineman switcheroo—this is about the Heisman winner, a $2.6 million QB, and a desperate AFC team flipping the script. The latest mock draft is serving drama like a whole Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively scene with twists nobody saw coming. Let’s just say, even Travis Hunter, the freakish two-way go-to guy, couldn’t save himself from some wild moves. Curious? Let’s dive in.

If you’ve been keeping tabs on the latest NFL mock draft from CBS’s Chris Trapasso, you know it’s a complete madhouse. The New York Giants—yes, the same team that limped to a 3-14 record—are ready to trade the farm for a shot at redemption. Their quarterback situation? Straight-up tragic. Daniel Jones’ playoff magic in 2022 feels like ancient history. Now, GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll have one job: grab the No. 1 pick and save the franchise.

The Giants are eyeing Cam Ward, Miami’s stud QB, and they’re not playing around. After failing to move up for Drake Maye last year, they’re going full “Hard Knocks” drama mode. Tennessee Titans, y’all better pick up the phone—because the G-Men are coming. Ward’s arm, mobility, and upside? Just what New York needs to revive their offense. Schoen can’t afford another miss, and Daboll’s seat is hotter than a Lil Wayne mixtape in ‘07.

But hold up—the No. 2 pick might be even juicier. Enter Jalen Milroe, Alabama’s $2.6 million man. Yeah, his 2024 season wasn’t exactly Heisman-level: 2,800+ yards, 16 TDs, 11 INTs, and a bowl game L to Michigan. But NFL scouts are drooling over his Combine potential. Milroe’s connection with Browns QB coach Tommy Rees (his guy from Bama) makes this mock draft move feel less crazy.

Cleveland landing Milroe at No. 2 has people scratching their heads, but hey, stranger things have happened. This is the NFL, where overhyping quarterbacks is literally half of the sport.

Then there’s Travis Hunter. The two-way phenom from Colorado—Heisman winner, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Biletnikoff Award recipient. The man looks like a second coming of Deion Sanders or Charles Woodson. But after a slip-and-slide injury scare at the Polynesian Bowl while celebrating with Dakorien Moore’s 75-yards crazy touchdown, his draft stock takes a hit by 1.

Chris Trapasso’s mock has Hunter falling to No. 4, landing with the Patriots. And look, New England might’ve had a rough year, but snagging Hunter? That’s a win. Pairing him with Christian Gonzalez would give the Pats one of the nastiest cornerback duos in the league.

Mock draft madness: AFC Giants flip the script, and will Travis Hunter have the last laugh?

Let’s keep it real: this draft class is all about quarterbacks, but Travis Hunter is literally built different. He played 96% of offensive snaps and 94% of defensive snaps for the Buffaloes. That’s video game-level stamina. Yet here we are, watching a potential generational talent slide because of one weird injury moment. Patriots fans should be throwin’ parades or something for landing him at No. 4. A cornerback duo of Hunter and Gonzalez? That’s like LeBron teaming up with Jordan in defense—unfair.

Meanwhile, the Giants’ QB desperation is giving off major ‘I’ll do anything to win her back’ energy. Cam Ward is the shiny prize, and they’re ready to risk it all. But Jalen Milroe at No. 2? That’s got people side-eyeing this mock draft harder than Kanye’s latest rant. Sure, Milroe’s raw talent is undeniable, but his college tape screams, “work in progress.” Can he really be Cleveland’s savior?

Only time will tell. Hunter, though? He’s the most NFL-ready in this draft class. His route running and ball-hawk defense are unmatched, and New England desperately needs a spark. This is a franchise that’s gone 4-13 with a mid-tier defense and a receiver room that looks like a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Hunter’s ability to play both sides of the ball makes him the ultimate weapon.

So, who’s winning this mock draft game? The Giants have a clear plan; the Browns are swinging for the fences, and the Patriots… well, they just lucked out. Travis Hunter might’ve slipped a spot or 2, but Foxborough would be the perfect place for Travis Hunter. He’ll have the last laugh.

With the combine and draft interviews around the corner, his stock could climb faster than a TikTok trend. See, as of now, the Titans hold the actual No.1 draft pick; doubt they gonna throw that away. Anyway, mark your calendars for April 24, when the NFL Draft hits Green Bay. The drama’s just getting started, folks. And who knows? Maybe Milroe will shock us all, or Hunter will prove he’s more than a mock draft casualty. Either way, it’s gonna be one helluva ride.
