New York Giants
The New York Giants are set for 2025 starters at the linebacker position with Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden. However, every linebacker other than Okereke, Chris Board, and Darius Muasau will be a free agent after the 2025 season. Okereke could be released after this season, saving $9 million in cap space with just a $5 million dead cap.
Suffice it to say, the Giants could use a long-term starter at linebacker, albeit it’s not nearly a primary need for the roster. GM Joe Schoen signed two quality additions in the offseason, but they’ve still shown interest in a few...

Let’s see what one of the pre-eminent draft analysts does for the Giants
Another day, another mock draft. Only, this one is a seven-round monster from Dane Brugler of The Athletic, author of ‘The Beast’ draft. Let’s get into how this falls for the New York Giants.
Brugler says:
Like Cleveland, the Giants are looking for the “right” quarterback — but with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on the roster, they also don’t need to force anything. Pass rusher might not be a screaming need, but you draft...

A look at some potential 2025 NFL Draft team and player pairings
The 2025 NFL Draft is less than ten days away! How do I know? Well, I looked at a calendar. But also, I did an internet search for “NFL Mock Draft” and the number of results that came back was staggering. Football fans are locked in for the spectacle on the night of April 24, and the two additional days of player selections that follow.
The Final Four and the Masters may have owned the first two April weekends, but now it’s time for the NFL to take...

News of Shough’s workout follows on the heels of learning Shedeur Sanders will also work out for the Giants
OK, so maybe the New York Giants are just doing a final round of quarterback due diligence ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
A day after we learned that Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will have a private workout for the Giants on Thursday, and the resulting “what does it mean?” freakout, we now know that two more quarterbacks will have private workouts for New York.
Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough is one who will have a private workout for the Giants. Jalen...

Where will Green be drafted?
The class of edge defenders in the 2025 NFL Draft is one of the very best in recent memory.
In some ways it harkens back to the 2010 EDGE class that produced five separate Pro Bowl players, and this year may be even better.
This EDGE class is so deep and talented that it can be difficult to keep all the (potentially) great players in front of mind. That gets even more complicated for players with multiple confounding factors like Mike Green out of Marshall.
Green was dominant for Marshall in 2024, something the NFL...

There is plenty of speculation about the possibility
A recent article from FOX Sports has named Giants edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux as a possible trade candidate ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
In a piece by NFL reporter Ralph Vacchiano, FOX Sports identified one potential trade from each of the 32 NFL teams. Thibodeaux was listed as the New York Giants’ most valuable asset who could potentially be moved if the right offer comes through.
The article notes Thibodeaux’s production since being drafted fifth overall in 2022, including 11.5 sacks during the 2023 season. FOX Sports writes that the linebacker...

ESPN analysts go a full three rounds
Mel Kiper and Field Yates are offering yet another spin on what the New York Giants might do in the 2025 NFL Draft in a newly-released three-round combo mock draft. [Insider only]
Let’s get to the picks and my thoughts on each.
Kiper and Yates alternated picks. This is a Yates’ selection. He says:
The second-rated player on my board is just too good for the Giants to bypass, even with the QB concerns. They can wait until Day 2 to...

Could the Giants add another dancing elephant to their defensive line?
The New York Giants have a definite type at defensive tackle. They have always loved to take big defensive tackles who also have rare movement skills.
After all, the Giants are the team that originated the “Planet Theory” of drafting.
Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant fits that theory exceptionally well. At 6-foot-3, 331 pounds, Grant is an absolute rock in the middle of the Michigan defense. His size also belies rare movement skills and burst for the position.
Could he be a future Giant if he happens to slide...

What about this idea if Giants miss out on top targets?
The New York Giants have picks 3 and 34 in the 2025 NFL Draft. There are five quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft class expected to be in play in that range of the draft, and the Giants are expected to seek one of them.
What, though, if the Giants miss out on Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough?
Giants head coach Brian Daboll reminded at the owners’ meetings a few weeks ago that “everything’s gotta fall in line” to get the quarterback you...

The Giants need young talent at this position
The New York Giants have desperately needed assistance across from Dexter Lawrence since GM Joe Schoen sent Leonard Williams to Seattle. Opposing offenses consistently ran the football at the Giants last season whenever Lawrence needed a breather before his injury. After Lawrence was placed on Injured Reserve, Shane Bowen altered his defense to fix the massive liability created by Lawrence’s departure — the Giants NEED depth on their defensive line.
Schoen signed two veterans this offseason for depth purposes, but I contend that more depth and overall consistency are necessary. The Giants...
