Which QB Should Giants Focus On In 2025 NFL Draft? | The Draft Network
Alabama’s Jalen Milroe would be an excellent fit in Brian Daboll’s offense. Daboll would be the ideal head coach to maximize Milroe’s skill set. Daboll is an offensive-minded leader who can successfully build his offense around a quarterback. He achieved that in Buffalo with a young, raw Josh Allen, and is capable of doing something similar for Milroe, helping him acclimate to professional football. The landing spot is critical to Milroe’s next-level success, and Daboll will receive just one opportunity to get his post-Jones plan right.

The most-improved NFL teams at every position group in 2024 | PFF
The Giants offensive line is the most-improved team at the position group, using the difference in PFF overall grade from 2023 to 2024. The wide receiver and edge receiver groups received honorable mentions.

4. Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants. Despite being held back by the below-average play of quarterback Daniel Jones, Nabers is one of the league’s top receivers. He leads all rookies in catches and yards per game (75.9). Nabers accounts for 29.2% of his team’s targets, which ranks second only to Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson. It still doesn’t feel like enough for a team that has the best chance at the No. 1 draft pick, per our FPI projections.

10. Malik Nabers, New York Giants Stats: 61 receptions, 607 yards, 3 touchdowns
Currently sitting third in the league in receptions, it’s hard to imagine Malik Nabers doing more for the Giants than he has despite being a rookie.
Dealing with a non-functional quarterback and offensive line, Nabers has prevailed as an immediate star presence. His smooth route-running and explosive leaping ability have made him the engine for an offense unable to maximize his talent.
Progress Report: How the rookies are doing | Giants.com
Tyler Nubin has been one of the most consistent players on the Giants’ defense this season. The rookie safety has registered eight or more total tackles in five of the last seven games, including several outings where he finished as the team’s leading tackler. But perhaps the most impressive part of the second-round pick’s performance this season has been his ability to stay on the field. Through the first 10 weeks, Nubin has played every defensive snap in nine games, and has missed just two total defensive snaps overall.

Justin Tuck: All of us wanted to be the alpha
“Yes, I probably would have had a lot more sacks. Would I win 2 SuperBowls? I don’t know. But that was the reason we were so good. It was just a competition. All of us thought we were the best, all of us wanted to be the alpha.” @JustinTuck on @Giants

NFL head coaches on the hot seat | FOX Sports
5. Brian Daboll, New York Giants (Previous ranking: 7th). Daboll was hired for his offensive mind, but their offense is awful, they probably need to make a quarterback change sooner than later, and at this point their fans are clamoring for a tank so they get the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. The Giants also have four home games left and they’re already 0-5 at the Meadowlands this season. Empty stadiums and angry crowds have a history of weighing on this ownership and convincing them to do things they otherwise promised themselves they wouldn’t do.
Five NFL coaches to watch, plus landing spots for the 2025 QB class | The Athletic
My take: Keep Daboll. Get a new quarterback. Daniel Jones has an EPA per dropback that ranks 26th, and as Dan pointed out, “the Giants are 3-13 in games started by Jones over the past two seasons. Backups Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito combined to go 5-6 last season.”
Georgia QB Carson Beck: Giants. Once the highest-rated QB in this class, Beck has struggled on the field and could fall to the early second round. Pairing him with a bridge option like Darnold or Fields (or Drew Lock, if he impresses as a starter) could buy more time for Daboll and GM Joe Schoen, while giving Beck a chance to adapt to the NFL. Bruce Feldman has a good explanation on why Beck is falling.
Jermaine Eluemunor giving back
Giants OL Jermaine Eluemunor spent the first day of his bye week handing out 150 turkeys to local families in Lodi, NJ, in partnership with American Eagle Food Pantry of NNJ.

Joe Schoen must think Giants fans are dummies | Politi | NJ.com
Giants season ticket holders have had a lot of B.S. shoveled in their direction in recent years, so much so that the PSLs they had to buy for the privilege of attending games at MetLife Stadium should stand for something else entirely.
These are fans who, after a decade of unwatchable football, must think they’ve seen and heard every possible broken promise, lame excuse and premature proclamation that a bad NFL franchise can dish out to its paying customers. Well, they can add a new one to the list — and it is a whopper.
Why Giants should not give up on Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll | New York Post
Elevating Daniel Jones became Plan B for Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll after their failed attempt to land Drake Maye as their own first franchise quarterback.
It has not happened.
It has not happened even after drafting Jones his first No. 1 receiver in Malik Nabers and building an experienced offensive line and Daboll taking over the play calling.
Evan declares Joe Schoen’s press conference ‘a disaster’ | WFAN.com
Tiki had a different takeaway from the presser, and believes it wasn’t as bad as Evan made it out to be.
“They wanted Joe Schoen, who is not a player or coach…to blame somebody. I give Joe Schoen credit for not blaming somebody,” Tiki said. “I give Joe Schoen credit for getting testy when they want to open-ended question him…how many times did they ask about Daniel Jones?”
Giants’ Joe Schoen should regret not doing more to sign Russell Wilson this offseason | NJ.com
Joe Schoen paused for four seconds.
The Giants general manager was just asked if he wished he had handled things “differently” when addressing the quarterback position this summer — especially now that he sits with a dismal record with the wildly inconsistent Daniel Jones under center.
