NFL Draft 2025: 4 NFL teams who could trade back for more picks | SBNation.com

Everything is going to Giants’ GM Joe Schoen’s plan. New York might not want to take QB Shedeur Sanders if he falls to No. 3, and despite Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter being very good, the question of where you play him does pop into the mind. The Giants could use this news of Carr potentially being out for the season to leverage their way into trading out of the third overall pick with a team that’s either desperate for a QB or a team that really wants that EDGE rusher (cough cough, Carolina). It feels like the draft really starts at New York, and the Giants could end up moving back in the top ten.

5 Players Who Should Get Traded During the 2025 NFL Draft | The 33rd Team

Concerns about adding Abdul Carter to the pass-rush duo of Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux are overblown to me, but it’d make sense for New York to dangle Thibodeaux in a trade back into the first round. Leaving Round 1 with Carter and a quarterback would be ideal, and it would avoid giving up major draft capital.

His trade value might only be that of a Day 2 pick, but the right team will like the idea of moving back from the middle of the first round to No. 34 while picking up Thibodeaux as an immediate starter.

Schoen — who is on the hot seat — also must determine by May 1 if he wants to pick up Thibodeaux’s fully guaranteed fifth-year option for 2025. That option is worth about $14.8 million. The option deadline comes exactly one week after Round 1 of this year’s draft.

Could Schoen trade Thibodeaux, before (or even after) the option deadline, if he picks Carter? It’s possible. It’s also possible Schoen retains Thibodeaux — with or without that 2026 option exercised — and has him play along with Carter and Brian Burns, who impressed in his debut Giants season last year.

2025 NFL Draft Guide: How each NFC team should address its 3 biggest needs | FOX Sports

Top three needs: QB, DT, OL. Unless they end up with Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders at No. 3, they’re not likely to really address a primary need with their first-round pick, which means they’ll have three shots to do it on Day 2. A quarterback is the top priority by far.

The Giants also have to come away with a defensive tackle to help out Dexter Lawrence (and replace Leonard Williams). They have veteran depth at the position, but no one really capable of taking some of the pressure off Lawrence (and defensive end Brian Burns). Offensive line isn’t an immediate priority because they’ve loaded up on veterans, but their right guard is 35-year-old Greg Van Roten, and they know now that Evan Neal, the tackle they took No. 7 overall in 2022, is a bust, so they need to start adding some young talent now.

2025 NFL Draft matchmaker: Best fits for Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, other top QBs | The Athletic

Riley Leonard: New York Giants. Brian Daboll’s best work over the years — outside of his time with Josh Allen — was at Alabama in 2017, with Jalen Hurts, and in 2022, with Daniel Jones. Though different quality players, Hurts and Jones can both generally be described as sturdy, athletic quarterbacks with the arm talent to push the ball down the field a little bit. Both players added something to the offense via their mobility, and Daboll took advantage.

Aside from maybe Milroe, Leonard is Daboll’s best swing at that kind of athlete. Leonard is 6-foot-4, 218 pounds with serious wheels. He’s fairly explosive in short areas and excels when he really gets to stride out, similar to Jones. He’s clearly a weapon in the designed-run game and the red zone. Leonard still has a lot to prove as a passer, but his athletic ability and toughness gives him a floor to work with while he figures it out.

3. New York Giants: QB Cam Ward, Miami (FL), 2025. It’s no secret that the Giants would select Cam Ward in this year’s draft if he is still on the board. They get that chance in this exercise. Ward was the highest-graded quarterback in college football in 2024. His combination of decisive downfield passing and improvisational skills make him the perfect candidate to run New York’s offense. Ward throwing to Malik Nabers would be thrilling to watch.

Will Sheppard, Colorado: Sheppard is a very good route runner and he impressed at the East/West Shrine Bowl, which the Giants were all over. That’s where they fell in love with Tyrone Tracy a year ago, and you can bet Daboll and Schoen have seen plenty of Sheppard as they have combed through all the tape of Shedeur Sanders. They recently had dinner with Sheppard, who impressed at the Colorado Pro Day. He’s 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds and will be an under-the-radar developmental prospect.

Giants will have one of NFL’s most expensive offensive lines in 2025 | USAToday.com

Per analyst Warren Sharp, the Giants’ offensive line will cost them $67.7 million this season, which is third in the NFL behind Carolina ($95.3 million) and Kansas City ($81.5 million). Left tackle Andrew Thomas leads the way with a cap hit of $21 million, followed by guard Jon Runyan Jr. ($11.7 million), Jermaine Eluemunor ($9.2 million), and Evan Neal ($7.8 million). No other player has a cap hit of over $3.8 million.

6. New York Giants: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia; Original pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU, taken 4th by the Cardinals

The Giants certainly hit the jackpot with Nabers, so it’s hard to say they should’ve done something else here. But he’s off the board this time around, so it’s Bowers. The tight end was the best rookie pass catcher in the history of the league last year, with a ridiculous 112-catch, 1,194-yard season, on a team without a true starting QB.
