Those who listened to Schoen at the owner’s meetings don’t believe he is convinced the right QB will be available
Big Blue View is not in attendance at the NFL owner’s meetings. The overwhelming consensus of Giants media that is attendance and spoke with New York Giants GM Joe Schoen on Monday, though, is that the Giants do not appear to be planning on selecting a quarterback at No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Pat Leonard of the Daily News wrote that Schoen “sounded very much like someone who would draft a non-QB at 3 today.”

Is Dart more than just hype?
Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has steadily risen over the course of the Draft process, but has also been a very divisive figure in the quarterback discussion.
He was largely dismissed as a “system” quarterback for much of his time at Ole Miss, and largely overlooked in 2024 despite a record-setting senior year.
Dart started to get some recognition as Ole Miss climbed into the Top 10 and the College Football Playoff discussion, but his profile sank again with the loss to Florida. By the end of the week of practice prior to the...

GM speaks to team’s official website
In an exclusive interview with the team’s official website, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said the team “could go any position” at No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft.
“Since I’ve been here, we’ve tried to set it up on draft day that we could go play a game [that day]. I feel like we’re there now. That way you don’t get backed into a corner or force yourself to do anything,” Schoen said. “The only year that didn’t happen was probably my first year. We had to cut several players...

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....

Can Loveland realize his potential in the NFL?
The tight end class in the 2025 NFL Draft is a strong and deep one. This is the second year in a row in which we’ve seen a lot of athletic and talented tight ends coming into the NFL.
Michigan’s Colston Loveland would likely be the first tight end off the board in almost any other year, yet in this year he might wind up being the third. Loveland has a prototypical build, is — as you may expect from a Michigan tight end — a good blocker, and has a lot...

Fantasy observations from recent player moves
Spring is here! As the calendar flips from March to April, all football eyes are on the NFL Draft, which kicks off on Thursday, April 24. For the most part, free agency and big trades are now in the rearview, other than the many trades of picks (and maybe some players) that will happen during the Draft. Get ready to hear more than you ever wanted about short arms, football smarts, non-stop motors, character guys, athletic freaks, coachable players, and the rest. What a time!
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Two weeks...

With all the coaching changes it’s hard to tell
It was only a week or so ago that Tommy DeVito was the only quarterback on the the New York Giants’ roster. Then in fairly rapid succession, the Giants signed both Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson to contracts. Given Wilson’s more illustrious career, which includes one Super Bowl ring and almost a second, it is assumed by most people that he will be the Giants’ starter in 2025. In reality, we’ll have to wait until training camp to know for sure, since both QBs started part of the season for their...

Travis Hunter AND Jaxson Dart in Round 1 for New York
With Russell Wilson now QB1 for the New York Giants, will they go all-in for a quarterback of the future in the 2025 NFL Draft? Or, will they take the best position player available? How about doing both?
That’s what I try to accomplish in this week’s seven-round New York Giants mock draft. Let’s see how it turned out.
I passed on Shedeur Sanders, who fell all the way to the Indianapolis Colts at No. 14. I chose Hunter...

What will Scourton’s role be in the NFL?
This year’s class of edge defenders, and defensive linemen in general, is simply remarkably deep and talented. So much so that players who would be at the top of boards in other years are seemingly slipping through the cracks.
Texas A&M edge defender Nic Scourton was considered one of the top edge prospects in the nation when the 2024 season began. He was coming off of a breakout season at Purdue and transferred to Texas A&M. However, he fell off the national radar a bit when his production took a step back...

Don’t believe anyone who tells you the Giants know with 100% certainty what they will do at No. 3 in the draft
ESPN’s Matt Miller reported on Friday that he still believes the New York Giants will select Shedeur Sanders at No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft and that a scout told him “New York loving Shedeur is the worst-kept secret in the league right now.” [ESPN Insider]
Jordan Reid added that “finding a young QB is still at the top of the priority list for the Giants.”
I fully believe Reid is right that the Giants will be...

The mail’s here!
Rob Stolzer asks: My head spins with all of the QB draft chatter. Most of what I read is about physical traits, though a good amount of conversation covers processing. That’s really my question: which draft-eligible college QB is the best processor on the field? Is there a way that draftniks quantify this? I look at Brock Purdy. Clearly not the most physically-gifted QB, but the man knows how to read the field. And everyone except SF passed on him. How do scouts and coaches measure what’s between the ears for these guys?
Ed says: Rob, this...
