Giants get elite playmaker and a quarterback with first two picks
Another week, another New York Giants seven-round mock draft.
ESPN has released its 2025 Mock Draft Simulator. To perhaps change up the board from what we have worked with in recent weeks, I used the ESPN Simulator.
Let’s see what happens.
Cam Ward went No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans. Shedeur Sanders went No. 2 to the Cleveland Browns. I don’t believe the Browns will take Sanders in this spot, but that’s how this mock worked out.

Is Thomas a sleeper at the cornerback position?
The cornerback position isn’t held to be one of the more talented ones in the 2025 NFL Draft class. That’s largely due to several of the top prospects missing time due to injury, yet there are quite a few potential starters flying below the radar.
Cornerback Azareye’h Thomas out of Florida State has been a steady riser throughout the process. He took advantage of his opportunity at the Reese’s Senior Bowl, forcing scouts to go back to the FSU tape, and they’ve liked what they’ve seen.
Thomas’ evaluation could vary widely based...

Where Dart will land is one of the draft’s biggest mysteries
The New York Giants are one of the four teams Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has spent the “most time” with leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
The others, per Rapoport, are the Cleveland Browns (who have picks 2 and 33), the New Orleans Saints (who have pick No. 9) and the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have pick No. 21. The Giants, of course, have picks 3 and 34 in the first two rounds.
Dart visited the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, with Rapoport saying...

Let’s take a look
During the buildup to the 2025 NFL Draft much of the discussion has been that this year’s quarterback class does not measure up to the historic 2024 class that saw six quarterbacks taken in the draft’s first 12 selections.
Well now, thanks to work done by two of the best analysts in the business, we can see how they rank the quarterbacks. Todd McShay of The Ringer has quarterback prospects ranked pre-draft for the last two seasons. Matt Waldman of the Rookie Scouting Portfolio has them ranked for the last three years, but to keep this...

The mail’s here!
Leonard Huber asks: It seems to me that a seventh-round draft pick is usually pretty worthless. Very few seventh-round picks amount to much. So what about the Giants using their last pick this year (246, I believe) on Ben Sauls, a kicker from the University of Pittsburgh? Having a healthy kicker week in, week out, could produce a few more victories and less roster chaos. I favor this guy because he’s had plenty of opportunities to kick in cold winter weather, like we have in New Jersey.
Ed says: Leonard, unless the Giants are planning to cut...

Will Sampson’s electric running light up the NFL?
The running back class in the 2025 NFL Draft is truly remarkable.
It is at least as good as the 2024 wide receiver class, and perhaps even better. There are incredible players at the top of the draft, and talented runners throughout the depth chart. There are running backs who can fit any role in any offensive scheme.
Tennessee runner Dylan Sampson is a bit overshadowed in this incredible running back class, but he’s an electric runner who’s just plain fun to watch.
The Giants already have a relatively similar skill set...

New York Giants GM Joe Schoen, assistant GM Brandon Brown, director of player personnel Tim McDonnell and assistant director of player personnel Dennis Hickey are among Giants executives and coaches who are in Colorado on Friday to watch quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter at the Colorado Pro Day.
Head coach Brian Daboll, who has said he prefers private workouts does not usually attend Pro Days, is also going to attend the Pro Day.
It looks like offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen will...

Does Sanders make sense for the Giants?
The quarterback discussion surrounding the 2025 NFL Draft has featured one name for more than a year.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been considered one of the top quarterbacks in this draft class since he decided to return to school following the 2023 season.
Going into the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders is widely considered the draft’s second-best quarterback. He has been linked to – or floated as an option for – the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints, and even the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Is he,...

Could Caldwell complete the Giants’ defensive front?
One of the points of consensus among fans and observers regarding the New York Giants is that they need to add to the defensive line in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Of course, opinions diverge from there and there’s a split on whether the Giants should pursue a one-gap penetrator or a wide-bodied defender who can control gaps. The good news is that this draft class has plenty of talented players to fit a wide variety of molds.
Oregon’s Jamaree Caldwell (formerly of Houston), is of the latter variety. The 6-foot-2, 330 pounder is...
