The 2025 NFL Draft is tomorrow, and the New York Giants are officially on the clock with the third overall pick. General Manager Joe Schoen and Head Coach Brian Daboll are both firmly on the hot seat. This selection isn’t just about the team’s future—it could decide their own.

As a New York Giants fan and blogger who is excited about this moment, I’m laying out my top three candidates and a couple of trade scenarios worth watching.

Top 3 Options for Big Blue

Abdul Carter – LB/EDGE, Penn State

Abdul Carter brings relentless energy and a natural ability to disrupt plays off the edge. He’s a high-motor defender who consistently finds his way into the backfield. Adding Carter to a group that already features Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux on the outside—and Dexter Lawrence II dominating on the interior—would give the Giants one of the most imposing defensive fronts in the league. It’s the kind of move that could reshape the defense and make life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. In today’s NFL, you can never have too many pass rushers.

Travis Hunter – CB/WR, Colorado

Travis Hunter is the most intriguing two-way player in the draft. The Giants have needs at both wide receiver and cornerback, and Hunter is uniquely qualified to help at both spots. On offense, he’d be an ideal complement to Malik Nabers—forming a dangerous duo that could challenge any secondary. Defensively, Hunter brings the shutdown ability the Giants have been missing. Paulson Adebo, signed this offseason, hasn’t yet proven he can be that true No. 1 corner. Hunter has the talent to be just that, and experts believe he could reach Pro Bowl level on either side of the ball. He’s the kind of playmaker that instantly raises a team’s ceiling.

Shedeur Sanders – QB, Colorado

The Giants have done extensive work on Shedeur Sanders, meeting with him multiple times this offseason. Both John Mara and Joe Schoen have been clear—the search for a franchise quarterback is the top priority. Sanders is widely considered the second-best quarterback in the 2025 draft behind Miami’s Cam Ward. He’s a poised pocket passer with a sharp football IQ who remains calm under pressure and embraces big moments. He welcomes the limelight—something not every QB can handle in New York. With veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on board, Sanders would have time to develop before taking over the huddle. It’s a smart long-term investment if the Giants believe he’s their guy.

Trade Scenarios to Watch

Trading Up

So far, it’s been quiet on the trade-up front. The Titans appear locked in on selecting Cam Ward, and there’s been little noise about the Giants jumping ahead of them. The market just doesn’t seem hot for a move up right now.

Trading Down

There have been whispers that the Giants have fielded calls about moving down. But unless a deal blows them away, I’m staying put. With so much riding on this pick, it’s time to plant the flag and choose the future.

Is Jaxson Dart a Sneaky Trade-Up Target?

Hughes shared, “Jaxson Dart is a name to watch for the Giants as a trade-up option on Thursday…he’s someone Brian Daboll is high on — most out of QBs other than Cam Ward…Dart has that [toughness].”

That toughness could make Dart an ideal fit in Daboll’s offense, which demands poise under pressure and the ability to fight through adversity.

Trade-Up Talk Brings Questions

Of course, trading up comes at a price. The Giants would need to part with valuable draft capital to move into a spot where Dart might be available—likely in the middle or back end of the first round. That raises a critical question: is it worth it?

Personally, I’m a fan of Jaxson Dart. His arm talent, leadership, and ability to take hits and bounce back make him a great developmental option. But ideally, the Giants could land him in the second round without sacrificing key assets. That may be wishful thinking given how QB-needy teams are lining up this year.

No More Buzz Around Shedeur Sanders

Back in December, there was plenty of hype connecting Shedeur Sanders to the Giants. That talk has now cooled significantly. According to Hughes, “There’s not much out there right now connecting Shedeur Sanders to Giants. That hype has cooled dramatically.”

Could this be a strategic smokescreen? It’s possible. Teams often throw up distractions ahead of the draft. But for now, the Sanders-Giants link seems to have faded, leaving players like Dart and Ward as more realistic targets.

The post Giants Draft Strategy: Dart Over Sanders Now? first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

With the NFL Draft just a week away, the New York Giants are staring down a franchise-altering decision—and time might be running out for head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen.

The pressure isn’t new. Their seats have been warm for months. But now, under the lights of draft week, the scrutiny is at a boiling point. On FS1’s Breakfast Ball, Craig Carton didn’t sugarcoat the situation: “The reason the Giants brought in both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston is because their coach and their GM are basically on a prove-it year.”

Shedeur Sanders at No. 3? Mara May Be Calling the Shots.

Then came the shot from Danny Parkins: “If the Giants draft Shedeur Sanders, it’s not Brian Daboll or Joe Schoen who made the decision.”

That’s a direct nod to team owner John Mara, who claims to stay out of personnel decisions—but seems to do the opposite when the stakes are high. He’s already made it clear that “finding a quarterback of the future” is priority number one. And when asked about how long Daboll and Schoen have to turn things around? His response was sharp: “Better not take too long because I’ve just about run out of patience.”

Giants Need to Win Now—And Get the Future Right.

Let’s not kid ourselves—this is a front office under fire. The Giants are picking at No. 3 in a draft with no surefire QB prospect, tasked with finding a franchise quarterback while trying to avoid another rebuild.

Organizational failure always starts at the top, and this one feels like it’s been brewing for years. I like Brian Daboll. I really do. But this is the biggest gamble of his career—and it’s being played with the owner’s fingerprints all over the cards.

The post Giants on the Clock: Daboll and Schoen Must Deliver first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will hold one last private workout on Thursday in Boulder, Colorado. The New York Giants are sending a group of team officials to attend. With the NFL Draft in Green Bay just a week away, this adds one more wrinkle to an already unpredictable pre-draft process.

Don’t Read Too Much Into It… Yet.

Let’s be clear: this visit doesn’t mean Sanders is a lock for the Giants. As The Record’s Art Stapleton reports, the trip to Boulder was planned in advance. It’s also not expected to be the final quarterback workout for the team.

The Giants are simply using the time between the end of the official 30 visits and Draft Night to take a deeper look. They’ve done this before—just last year, they flew out to Ann Arbor for a private session with J.J. McCarthy, even though they had already decided he wouldn’t be the pick at No. 6.

A Cautious Approach—For Good Reason.

Here’s where the skepticism kicks in. This is the same Giants front office that has had its fair share of quarterback misses over the years. So while it’s good that they’re leaving no stone unturned, fans have a right to be wary. A flashy private workout doesn’t always translate into long-term success on Sundays.

Giants Fans Are Split on Sanders

From what I’ve seen in the comment section, fans are all over the map. Some are intrigued by Sanders’ upside and leadership, while others question if he’s ready to lead an NFL offense—especially one with as many holes as the Giants currently have.

Whether this visit is serious scouting or just pre-draft smoke, the Giants are keeping things close to the vest. One thing is clear: they’re not tipping their hand just yet.

The post Final Shedeur Sanders Workout Set with New York Giants first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

The 2025 NFL Draft isn’t considered deep at quarterback. Most experts agree there are only two to four quarterbacks with true first-round grades. But that doesn’t mean teams lacking stability under center can afford to sit back and wait.

A few big names stand out — Cam Ward (Miami), Shedeur Sanders (Colorado), Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss), and Jalen Milroe (Alabama) — as possible Day 1 picks. However, there are also intriguing Day 2 or 3 options, such as Kyle McCord (Syracuse) and Tyler Shough (Louisville), who could develop into solid pros with the right coaching and patience.

Let’s break down the teams that should seriously consider drafting a quarterback in 2025. Let’s start the list with the Giants — after all, this is a New York Giants blog.

New York Giants

The Giants are holding the No. 3 and No. 34 overall picks, and it’s hard to imagine they don’t at least consider drafting a quarterback — especially with uncertainty swirling around the futures of Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Tommy DeVito.

If Cam Ward, widely projected to be the first overall pick, is off the board to Tennessee, that leaves Shedeur Sanders as the next high-profile option. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if GM Joe Schoen and HC Brian Daboll decide to pass on Sanders. While he’s an exciting talent, questions remain about his fit and readiness for an NFL offense.

Instead, the Giants may opt to draft a blue-chip player at No. 3 — someone who can make an immediate impact — and then circle back for a quarterback at No. 34 or with a move up from that spot. If that’s the case, Jaxson Dart or Jalen Milroe become intriguing targets. Both are raw but have athletic upside and strong arms that Daboll might believe he can mold into long-term starters.

This strategy would be a gamble, but it also reflects the tightrope the Giants’ leadership is walking. Schoen and Daboll need to win now, but they also need a quarterback who can grow with the team. Dart or Milroe wouldn’t be expected to start right away, allowing the veterans to hold the fort while a young prospect develops behind the scenes.

With pressure mounting and the future uncertain, the Giants’ approach to the quarterback position could define this regime’s legacy — for better or worse.

Tennessee Titans

Will Levis hasn’t cemented himself, and their backups are over 30 with limited starts. Owning the No. 1 overall pick likely puts them in line for Cam Ward, a strong-armed, athletic option who could fit into their new offensive identity..

Cleveland Browns

Deshaun Watson’s injuries and inconsistency have left the Browns in limbo. Kenny Pickett hasn’t impressed, and while Joe Flacco is back, that’s not a long-term solution. With the second and 33rd picks, Cleveland is in a strong position to reset the quarterback room early in the draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are one Rodgers decision away from needing a new plan. Even if he signs, Pittsburgh’s long-term outlook isn’t secure with only Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson behind him. A first-round developmental QB makes a lot of sense here.

New Orleans Saints

Derek Carr is under contract through 2026, but that doesn’t tell the full story. His salary spikes to $40 million in 2026 — and none of it is guaranteed. More pressing, however, is the shoulder injury he sustained late last season. While the team has been optimistic publicly, there’s growing concern that Carr’s recovery could impact his availability for the 2025 season.

Given that uncertainty, it makes sense for the Saints to consider drafting a quarterback — especially with a new head coach in Kellen Moore now leading the way. Taking one at No. 9 might be a stretch unless Shedeur Sanders falls into their lap. 

New York Jets

The Jets should let Justin Fields sink or swim in 2025. Tyrod Taylor, 35, is a capable veteran. Unless a top prospect is sitting there at No. 7 or 42, drafting a QB doesn’t feel urgent — but this is the Jets we’re talking about.

Los Angeles Rams

Matthew Stafford, 37, is near the end, and Jimmy Garoppolo, 33, is a temporary backup. Stetson Bennett remains unproven after missing most of his rookie year. If a QB like Dart falls to them at 26, the Rams may finally invest in their future at the position.

Las Vegas Raiders

Geno Smith, now 35, is under contract through 2027, but he’s clearly a short-term bridge. The Raiders appear to view Aidan O’Connell as a backup. With Carter Bradley still unproven, a Day 2 option like Shough or McCord may be worth a look.

Seattle Seahawks

Seattle handed Sam Darnold a sizable deal, but it’s not ironclad. They can move on next year if needed. With five picks in the top 92, GM John Schneider could easily take a swing if someone like Sanders drops to them. Their current backups, Sam Howell and Jaren Hall, are set to hit free agency next year.

The New York Giants made a strong showing at Colorado’s Pro Day on Friday. With 13 representatives in attendance, including general manager Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll, and several coordinators, it’s clear the Giants wanted a thorough look at quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter.

The event, broadcast live by NFL Network, gave teams a chance to evaluate two of college football’s most exciting prospects. For the Giants, it was another opportunity to assess their options with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Shedeur Sanders Shows Deep Ball Accuracy.

Shedeur Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, put together a polished performance. According to insider Jordan Schultz, one top-level executive in attendance was impressed:

“I just think he throws a really catchable ball. Accuracy is one thing, but catch-ability is another. Shedeur’s got both. And watching him live today, there was more power — more velocity — than I expected.”

The executive added:

“He’s definitely a pocket guy, but athletic enough to buy time and make plays. His offensive line was always an issue in college, but turnovers never were.”

The Giants have met with Sanders multiple times this offseason and didn’t schedule a private workout after Pro Day. That could mean they’ve seen what they need to see.

Travis Hunter Proves He’s More Than a Corner.

Travis Hunter wasn’t just running drills—he was making a statement. Widely viewed as a shutdown corner, Hunter reminded scouts he can shine on offense, too. His route running and agility impressed enough to reopen the debate: receiver or defender first?

He remains a projected Top 5 pick, and teams like the Giants now have more to consider. With Schoen recently saying the team could go “in any direction” with their top pick, Hunter’s versatility only adds to the complexity.

One thing’s clear: Colorado’s Pro Day made the Giants’ draft decisions even tougher.

The New York Giants finally delivered a home victory in their 45-33 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Here’s a closer look at the game and what it means moving forward.

Ending the Streaks

The Giants avoided a winless home season, finishing 1-8 at MetLife Stadium in 2024. This victory also snapped a painful 10-game losing streak, giving fans a rare moment of celebration this year.

Drew Lock’s Career Day

Drew Lock accounted for five touchdowns—four passing and one rushing. While his future with the Giants is uncertain, this performance could help him secure another job in the league next season.

Malik Nabers Shines Bright

Malik Nabers proved he wasn’t concerned about draft positioning. He delivered a stellar performance with seven catches, 171 yards, and two touchdowns. His potential with the Giants is undeniable.

Tyrone Tracy’s Milestone

Tyrone Tracy surpassed 1,000 all-purpose yards as a rookie. While he may not reach Saquon Barkley’s level, Tracy has shown flashes of becoming a reliable player, reminiscent of Ahmad Bradshaw.

Defensive Highlights

Kayvon Thibodeaux recorded a sack and forced fumble, finally making his presence felt.

Dru Phillips secured his first career interception, solidifying his status as the team’s best defensive back this season.

Looking Ahead

The Giants’ draft pick position remains in flux. This win likely pushes them out of the race for top prospects like Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. Meanwhile, next week’s game against the Eagles adds intrigue. Will Philadelphia rest their starters or try to hurt the Giants’ draft position?

Also, keep an eye on Saquon Barkley as he faces his former team. Could he set the single-season rushing record?

Stay tuned as the Giants aim to finish the season strong.

The post Giants Break Losing Streak with a Big Win Over Colts first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen is busy making his scouting rounds as the college football season kicks off. During the first week, Schoen attended three key matchups: Colorado vs. North Dakota State, Georgia vs. Clemson, and Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M.

While some speculate that Schoen is eyeing a replacement for Daniel Jones, particularly with Colorado’s standout QB Shedeur Sanders on display, there’s more to his trip than just quarterbacks. Colorado boasts a versatile two-way threat in Travis Hunter, and Notre Dame has a top-tier cornerback in Ben Morrison. Georgia, as always, is loaded with NFL-caliber talent.

Beyond the Game Tape.

Scouting isn’t just about what happens on the field during games. The true value lies in what scouts like Schoen observe off-camera. It’s about building relationships on campus, evaluating players when the spotlight isn’t on, and gathering insights that can’t be captured on TV. This behind-the-scenes work is critical in making informed draft decisions.

The Daboll-Sanders Connection.

On a related note, it’s worth mentioning the growing relationship between Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll and Colorado Head Coach Deion Sanders, who happens to be Shedeur Sanders’ father. During the NFL Honors ceremony, Sanders presented Daboll with the AP Coach of the Year award, a gesture that showed mutual respect. As they left the stage, Daboll told Sanders about a potential recruit for Colorado, and the two immediately got on the phone with Sanders’ recruiting chief. This connection could be significant as both teams look to build for the future.

This scouting trip by Schoen highlights the Giants’ commitment to finding the best talent, not just for today but for the future.
