Travis Hunter or Shedeur Sanders: The choice Giants might have to make | The Record

Which player – the quarterback with the famous last name and a history of lifting two programs to new heights or the record-setting, two-way Heisman Trophy-winning star intent on dominating both sides of the ball – would the Giants choose with the No. 3 selection of the first round?

In some ways, the answer is simple. It’s also admittedly complicated.

2025 NFL Draft: Pressing questions that will shape the first round | PFF

Will the Giants Draft a Quarterback No Matter What?

However, there is a case to be made that New York might take a quarterback with Pick No. 3 even if both the Titans and the Browns select a quarterback. No Giants signal-caller has earned higher than a 78.7 PFF overall grade (Daniel Jones in 2020) over the past 10 seasons. In 2024 alone, 16 NFL quarterbacks surpassed that mark. Having lacked high-level quarterback play for a decade, New York could try to capitalize on its draft slot, and it may come down to whether the team is high enough on Jaxson Dart.

If three quarterbacks are off the board with the first three picks, it would truly shake up the rest of the first round, which leads us to our next question.

Dan Orlovsky highlights Jaxson Dart’s running ability

He’s a bull when he runs the ball and there wasn’t a lot of easy in that Ole Miss offense”@danorlovsky7 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/PElVbrevzG

What are Giants’ biggest (non-QB) needs entering NFL Draft 2025? | NJ.com

First up is right guard. Schoen will probably take one on Day 2. Top prospects include Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson, Purdue’s Marcus Mbow and Georgia’s Tate Ratledge. Jackson would be intriguing as he mostly played tackle at OSU, but projects to be an NFL guard.

Next is defensive tackle. Schoen addressed this some in free agency — inking ex-Seahawk Roy Robertson-Harris — but they need to plug another young wrecking ball next to Dexter Lawrence. Our favorite DT in the draft is massive Oregon star Derrick Harmon, a projected Round 2 prospect with a 6-foot-5, 310-pound frame.

Giants have been in consistent talks with Titans about No. 1 pick | USAToday.com

While some reports suggest the dream of that trade scenario is “dead,” Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports that the Giants have been in consistent contact with the Titans about potentially moving up.

“There (are) still teams trying to knock on their door,” Wolfe said of the Titans. “One of those teams, the New York Giants, has been consistent throughout the process. I saw their general manager, Joe Schoen, talking with (Titans general manager Mike) Borgonzi at The Breakers at West Palm. Having one of those conversations that he had, again, at the (Miami) Pro Day.”

This Giant Player Was Instrumental in Recruiting Russell Wilson | SI.com

If New York Giants tight end Chris Manhertz is looking for a new career after his football playing days are over, he might have a future as a recruiter. Manhertz, who earlier this offseason re-upped with the Giants on a one-year deal, was instrumental in the team’s recruitment of free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson.

“I was just telling him how things go over here, what we’re about, and that it would be a good fit for him. I guess everything counts in this process, right?” said Manhertz. “Our head coach asked me about Russ and making sure everything was aligned as far as the guys he’s played with,’’

Collaborative Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll dynamic put to test in tense Giants offseason | New York Daily News

Gradually, however, that dynamic has shifted to the point that Schoen and Daboll now more than ever are working as separate entities, sources say. Daboll noticeably then met the media alone on Jan. 6, standing behind a lonely podium inside the Giants’ practice facility on the turf. Schoen followed that with a solo press conference of his own in the team’s indoor auditorium, seated on stage behind a table.

The new optics of those press conferences were not lost on anyone inside or outside the building who understands how the organization works. Some sources have said, in fact, that there was some hope on the front office/personnel side of having the opportunity to reset with a new coaching staff after the Giants’ 3-14 season. But with Daboll retained, a once mutual marriage now feels more like a forced one.

“I’m going to talk to all the players when they get back on the 21st,” coach Brian Daboll said at the Annual League Meeting. “Evan is open to do whatever he can do to help the team out. We’ll have individual meetings…We’ll talk when he gets back, and (offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo), we’ll sit down and talk to Evan and them and have an opportunity to help in any way he can. Look forward to working with him.”
