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.”
Dan Duggan of The Athletic wrote:
“… the biggest takeaway I had from his 20-minute session with reporters at the owners meetings: He laid the groundwork for not taking a QB at No. 3.
“Now, he might be being cagey but he really hammered how you can’t force the pick if you don’t think a guy is a franchise-caliber QB.”
Ryan Novozinsky of NJ.com wrote that “Schoen seemed content with the idea of not drafting a QB with the No. 3 pick.”
Per Novozinsky, here is what Schoen said:
“We can go any which direction … We’re in a position where we can take who we think is the best football player at that time.”
Connor Hughes of SNY said “in a perfect world Joe Schoen would find that quarterback in this year’s draft, unless picking No. 3 that player is not there.” Hughes added the Giants “are not going to force the issue” if the right quarterback is not available.
The Giants, of course, signed Russell Wilson as the starter and Jameis Winston as the backup during free agency.
