Let’s review the latest Pro Football Network mock
Take Shedeur Sanders at No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft or pass? That question may well face the New York Giants in a few weeks. In the latest Pro Football Network seven-round mock draft, Bradley Weissman says “take.”
Weissman says:
The New York Giants have signed Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, so why would they take Sanders? The answer is simple: Neither Winston nor Wilson will be the answer, and the Giants must take a swing when given the opportunity.
I think this is a bit high for Sanders, but as we know, quarterback inflation is high. There aren’t enough options in the draft, so players like Sanders naturally get moved up. All that to say, Sanders is an accurate passer who can thrive in Brian Daboll’s offense.
Valentine’s View: This is the question everything centers on for the Giants — if Sanders is there at No. 3, will the Giants take him? In my mock on Sunday, I did not. Weissman does. Right now, I don’t believe even the Giants are sure what they would do.
Emory Hunt of CBS Sports has called Sanders “the Black Joe Burrow.” He told me that those who can’t see Sanders as an early first-round pick “don’t know what they’re talking about.”
Sanders is clearly the most polarizing quarterback, probably the most polarizing player, in this draft.
Weissman says:
The Kayvon Thibodeaux experiment has been so/so at best, and the team will surely need him to step up to see a return on investment. That said, adding another pass rusher makes a lot of sense, and Nic Scourton has juice off the edge to get to the quarterback.
Valentine’s View: Chris profiled Scourton recently, and likes him enough to believe that a pick at No. 34 would be appropriate value for Scourton. Maybe so. And, of course, pass rush is always at a premium. As always, though, I have a hard time accepting this pick not being an offensive lineman or hand in the ground defensive lineman. Then again, one of my draft rules is ‘value over need.’ So, we’ll see.
Weissman says:
Tre Harris would give the Giants a big and athletic target to play alongside Malik Nabers. He offers a very good catch radius and is physical after the catch.
Valentine’s View: Because I have watched a lot of Jaxson Dart, I have seen the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Harris catch a lot of passes. He is a good player. Again, though, this draft is three picks deep and has not addressed the offensive line or interior defensive line. GM Joe Schoen did not add to those groups last year, and that has to be a priority in this draft.
