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...

See the incentives for yourself
The full details of Russell Wilson’s one-year, $10.5 million contract are in. Here they are.
Wilson gets $10.5 million fully guaranted in 2025. That breaks down as follows:
All of that equals a cap hit of $10.5 million.
The incentives break down as shown below, per Spotrac, with them being considered ‘Not Likely To Be Earned’ or NLTBE, so they do not count against the 2025 salary cap. The performance incentives are all slightly above what Wilson accomplished...

What could the veteran quarterback bring to the Giants’ offense?
The New York Giants signed Russell Wilson to a one-year, $10.5 million contract that can reach $21 million with incentives. Wilson joins Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito in Shea Tierney’s quarterback room, and is the presumed — albeit not guaranteed — starting quarterback.
Wilson started the 2024 season hot after relieving a four-and-two Justin Fields of his starting duties. The Super Bowl Champion won his first four starts and six of his first seven games, leading the Steelers to 25-plus points in five of those seven games. However, the offense...

What might that scenario look like?
What if neither the Cleveland Browns, with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, nor the New York Giants, with the No. 3 pick, love Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders enough to select him with those picks?
Could the Browns and Giants then end up competing to move up somewhere in the draft and select Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss, considered by many to be QB3 in this draft class?
The Browns have pick No. 33, the first pick in Round 2. The Giants have pick No. 34. If neither team takes...

Colorado QB most-often selected player for Giants
Despite the presence of both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston the New York Giants roster, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders continues to be the dominant selection in our Giants mock draft tracker.
This week, Sanders was the choice at No. 3 in 34 of 75 mock drafts (45.3%).
One key thing to point out is that most of the mocks used this week were done prior to Wilson signing with the Giants. Still, many of the ones done post-Wilson signing with New York have the Giants taking Sanders. Opinions are split as to whether...
