Our final 2025 New York Giants mock draft tracker overwhelmingly expects the New York Giants to draft Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick.
To provide a tracker based as much as possible off the latest information, I only included mock drafts conducted within the last two weeks. Of 81 mock drafts used, Carter was the choice in 66 (81.5%).
Only three of the 54 most recent mock drafts included had a choice at No. 3 other than Carter.
I think that’s a consensus.
Wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter was chosen eight times (9.8%) and quarterback Shedeur Sanders was the choice six times (6.6%).
Nine mocks had the Giants trading back into Round 1 for a quarterback. Six of those had Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss as the trade-up selection, two had Sanders and one had Jalen Milroe of Alabama.
Among the 11 multi-round mock drafts, four had the Giants selecting a quarterback in Round 2. Milroe was the choice three times at No. 34, and Tyler Shough of Louisville once.
Six of the 10 mock drafts that included a third round has the Giants selecting a quarterback with the first pick of Round 3, 65th overall. Four of those had Shough as the choice. Two went with Milroe.
