The Giants finish 3-14, and pick third overall
The New York Giants will pick No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Giants capped a miserable season with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles backups to fall to 3-14 on the year. Unfortunately for the Giants, bot the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns also ended their year on losses. The New England Patriots, meanwhile, beat the Buffalo Bills to finish 4-13 and are drafting fourth.
Top 4 picks
- Tennessee Titans (3-14 | 0.520)
- Cleveland Browns (3-14 | 0.543)
- New York Giants (3-14 | 0.554)
- New England Patriots (4-13 | 0.469)
The remainder of the Top 10 is still unsettled, at least as of this writing, but what matters is the top of the draft. The Giants couldn’t secure the first overall pick once the Browns lost on Saturday, as the tiebreakers worked against them.
It’s somewhat ironic that one of the Giants’ very few wins this year was against the Browns back in Week 3.
Both the Titans and Browns have pressing needs at quarterback. The Titans benched Will Levis in favor of Mason Rudolph, and while the Browns are stuck with Deshaun Watson for now, they could look to the draft for an eventual replacement.
The Giants’ victory over the Colts — or their win over the Browns — could have locked them out of the top of the quarterback draft completely. Had the Patriots kept the first overall pick, they might have been amenable to a trade. New England’s win, however, may have put the Giants in the same situation as they were in a year ago, when none of the Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders, or Patriots had any interest in striking a deal.
The Giants’ offseason starts now, and could be complicated regardless of what happens with the front office and coaching staff. The team only has Tommy DeVito under contract and need a quarterback to build around.
