Pro days are in the books. Free agency has slowed down. Now there are just two weeks until the 2025 NFL Draft, which kicks off April 24 in Green Bay.
"Since I've been here, we've tried to set it up on draft day that we could go play a game [that day]," general manager Joe Schoen said in a one-on-one interview with Giants.com. "I feel like we're there now. That way you don't get backed into a corner or force yourself to do anything."
Schoen added: "We're not done. We still want to upgrade. We have five picks in the top 105. We could go any position, so we're not ruling any position out."
Before we get into the latest expert picks, below is a look at the Giants' draft order.
2025 New York Giants Draft Picks:
- Round 1 – No. 3
- Round 2 – No. 34

No. 6 Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
No. 5 Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia
No. 4 Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
No. 3 Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
No. 2 Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
No. 1 Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "In Sanders, New York would get a super accurate passer (74.0% completion rate in 2024) who is tough as nails. Despite taking the most sacks in the FBS over the past two seasons (94), he also tied for second in touchdown passes during that time frame (64)."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "I'll be curious to see what the Giants do here. If Abdul Carter is available at No. 3, that might change things, but in this scenario, they secure their answer at quarterback."
Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
Analysis: "I wouldn't rule out a quarterback for the Giants here if Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders were available, even after the signings of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. With the top QBs already off the board in this mock, New York lands the prospect many believe is the best player in the draft."
Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Analysis: "Ward is widely viewed as the top guy this year, but the quarterback rankings after him vary wildly from team to team."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "Hunter would give the Giants another elite talent after last year's top-10 selection of Malik Nabers. Not to mention, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner could probably start for New York at either corner or receiver right away, so Big Blue almost can't go wrong here."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "Sanders throws with pristine accuracy and touch -- he passed for 4,134 yards and completed 74% of his throws last season -- but he must improve his urgency under duress. With Wilson and Winston sharing the QB room with him, he could learn and keep developing without the pressure of being immediately thrown into the QB1 role."
Pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Analysis: "Adding a two-way standout doesn't solve the Giants' most pressing need, but Hunter's playmaking presence would help the offense and defense improve."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "Sanders is an accurate, tough pocket passer who improved the culture at both Jackson State and Colorado alongside his father and coach, Deion Sanders. Shedeur Sanders is poised, with great field vision and an ability to throw his guys open from the pocket."
Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Analysis: "Ward is the top QB of this class. His combination of physical ability, improvisational skills and poise in big moments make him an ideal selection for coach Brian Daboll. His 88.7 QBR was second in the FBS, and his 29 completions of 20-plus air yards tied for fifth."
Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
Analysis: "It's hard not to see some Micah Parsons in Carter, who not only wears the same No. 11 but also pops off the screen nearly every play due to being a rare caliber athlete. If he can get even stronger, he has All-Pro potential as a player worthy of a top-five pick."

Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "If you don't have a quarterback, you have to get one. Sanders might not have the biggest arm, but he throws with timing and anticipation. The Giants have to do something, so why not take a shot on Sanders with a chance to land him?"
Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
Analysis: "Carter is a terrific fit for the Giants' defense and should add immediate impact, which the team needs."
Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Analysis: "The Giants must sort out the offensive line in free agency if they end up taking a quarterback here. Ward's ability to limit turnovers while extending plays would get this offense back on track and open up Brian Daboll's play-calling. It's worth noting that there were simulations in which New York traded down a few spots and selected an offensive lineman instead (such as Kelvin Banks Jr., who has plenty of experience and can play RT); in those scenarios, the Giants would likely look to add a veteran passer in free agency and/or select one later in April's draft."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "With Ward off the board, the Giants grab one of the most dynamic players in recent memory in Hunter. The former Heisman winner provides a big impact at two separate positions of need for New York. My guess right now is that he'll play full time at corner and moonlight at receiver, but he just may be the type of outlier athlete who can play both sides of the ball full time."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "It seems likely that the Giants will get phone calls from teams looking to move up into this spot, but sitting tight and taking a player who could impact Brian Daboll's team on either (or both?) sides of the ball is the play."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "With Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on the roster, New York secures the top overall prospect in the 2025 draft class in Colorado's two-way superstar."
Pick: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Analysis: "The Giants have spent the entire offseason trying to find veteran quarterbacks in the face of this rookie class, This, too, could be a Sanders landing spot. But I have zero questions about Graham's ability to help the Giants immediately."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston are nice additions who should ensure a strong veteran presence that could help Sanders settle in as the team's future QB1."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "There are rumors of New York trading up to No. 1 overall for its preferred quarterback (I assume it's Cam Ward), but I'll leave that scenario for another mock. Instead, I could see them drafting the best football player in the class, Travis Hunter, and being very happy about what he and Malik Nabers can do for them for years to come."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "Travis Hunter is the best athlete in this draft class. We've had otherworldly cornerbacks and wide receivers in previous classes but he's a two-fer, able to dominate on both sides of the ball and take over games. The big question is where will the team that drafts him want him to play? And if it's, say, at cornerback, how big is the package of offensive plays? Because lining up for 120 snaps a game, like he did for the Buffs, isn't sustainable in the NFL."
Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Analysis: "He leaves college football as the all-time passing touchdowns champion (158) and his steady improvement as a passer is undeniable."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "If this feels like the worst kept secret in sports, it is because it probably is. The Giants are in the quarterback market."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "Despite signing veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston this offseason, the Giants still need to find a long-term answer at quarterback. Sanders, a crisp and accurate passer, has the talent and moxie to become a star in New York."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "After seeing QBs get picked off in front of them, the Giants instead veer toward star power. Hunter is an excellent athlete and has a rare feel for the cornerback position. With Malik Nabers already showing off his star potential at receiver, there's no need to overwhelm Hunter as a two-way player right away."
Pick: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Analysis: "I do not believe that the Russell Wilson signing has any impact on what the Giants will do at No. 3 overall, but I could see them drafting an impact performer to improve this season's roster and waiting until Day 2 for the quarterback."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "Hunter addresses two issues for the Giants — elite cornerback play and another weapon for Russell Wilson or their quarterback of the future. I firmly believe Hunter should be a full-time corner with a package of offensive plays. That is manageable, and it's how he was originally used at Colorado. By taking Hunter, the Giants add a supreme talent to a roster that needs an infusion of playmakers."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "Unless Penn State's Drew Allar ends up declaring, Ward and Sanders are the only two quarterbacks I see going in the first round."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "If the G-Men decide to go the trade or free agency route to find their next QB and manage to keep the No. 3 pick, they could find themselves able to land the Heisman Trophy winner, too, who could help them on both sides of the ball."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "The debate of best player available boils down to Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter, in my opinion. With Carter off the board, New York goes in the direction of Hunter, who could fill either or both cornerback and wide receiver roles for that organization. Wide receiver is less of a need with Darius Slayton back in the fold."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "Sanders will be able to handle the media stress of the New York market while providing the Giants with their future quarterback."
Pick: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Analysis: "The Giants love what they'd have up front on defense with Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns and now, Carter."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "The Giants need to consider quarterback early, but it will also be difficult to ignore that Hunter may fall right into their lap to be an instant ball-hawking defensive star in New York while also giving Malik Nabers some receiving help at times."
Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Analysis: "In the hypothetical world of this mock draft, Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll address the quarterback position in the veteran market, allowing New York to take the two-way star out of Colorado. In the real world, longtime beat writer Paul Schwartz says the Giants see Hunter as a cornerback, allowing me to say I'm filling a major need with this pick (... while also knowing Daboll wouldn't be able to resist giving the Heisman Trophy winner offensive snaps alongside Malik Nabers)."
Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: "His 49 big-time throws since 2023 tied for fifth, and his 1.6% turnover-worthy play rate in that span ranked second to only Bo Nix. Sanders also was recently seen playing catch with Giants star receiver Malik Nabers in the streets of New York."
Pick: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Analysis: "The Giants had the option to play the waiting game at quarterback, but wisely chose not to. Instead, they signed veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston—both clear upgrades over what they had last season. This move puts the Giants in a position to simply take the best player available. And that player is Abdul Carter—the best overall talent in the draft. Pairing Carter with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns will create a terrifying front that will give opposing offensive coordinators serious headaches when it comes to protecting their quarterback."
Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Analysis: "Cam Ward isn't a perfect prospect under center, but his confidence, poise, and ability to threaten a defense both vertically and horizontally will expand a playbook. Ward and Malik Nabers would be a fun, youth-infused tandem to watch develop over the next few years."
Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Analysis: "The Giants secure the best quarterback in the draft to pair with Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka's offense. Cam Ward joined a strong group of Power 4 quarterbacks—Jayden Daniels, Hendon Hooker, C.J. Stroud, Mac Jones, Joe Burrow, and Kyler Murray—who have led the nation in total offense, and his trajectory should be similar to others on that list."
Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
Analysis: "After missing out on the two first-round QB prospects in this class, the Giants settle for the 2025 class' top edge rusher."
