Make-or-break time: Giants, Dolphins among NFL regimes under most pressure to deliver in 2025 | CBSSports.com
New York Giants. If anyone’s on the verge of a blowup, it’s these guys. And isn’t that almost always the case in East Rutherford, New Jersey? Owner John Mara showed a surprising level of restraint when he retained coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen not only after an ugly 2023 but a wholly dysfunctional 2024; he’d previously axed three straight coaches after no more than two seasons apiece. But with Daniel Jones finally cast out as the failed quarterback of the future, two veteran replacements added in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, plus a No. 3 overall pick awaiting in the draft, this feels like the current front office’s last shot to prove the spirit of a surprise 2022 playoff bid is still alive. The issue: They still need a better foundation for whomever’s throwing the ball.

What the Giants might do at QB in the 2025 NFL Draft | New York Post
Unless you have been hibernating for several months, you are aware the Giants want to get something done at quarterback in this draft.
Cam Ward appears to be unreachable, with the Titans set to take him at No. 1.
How does Shedeur Sanders fit into the Giants’ draft picture? | ESPN
“I think the 31 teams that don’t pick him are going to find out that those two things [lack of arm strength and athleticism] aren’t correct really,” former NFL coach and current Colorado offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur told ESPN in a phone interview. “I mean, I think he’s got a really good arm and when you talk about arm talent, you talk about being able to make all the throws, being able to throw the ball accurately and being able to throw the ball with touch. And I think he can do all those things. I think of all the throws that you can make in college, and they’re pretty similar to what you would make in the NFL, I don’t know of any throw he can’t make. So I think that would dispel that myth.
Abdul Carter is the favorite to go No. 3 overall in 2025 NFL draft | Pro Football Talk
Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter has emerged as a strong favorite to go with the third overall pick.Carter is favored at major sports books to go No. 3, and he’s a significant favorite in the -200 range. The Giants own the third overall pick, and with the draft just over two weeks away, Carter appears to be their guy.
2025 NFL Draft: Best Day 3 fits for all 32 NFL teams | PFF
Prospect to target: RB Devin Neal, Kansas. Even with Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary in the fold, the Giants’ backfield is far from solidified, evidenced by the unit’s 30th-ranked PFF rushing grade (66.9) in 2024. New York deployed gap runs at the fourth-highest in the NFL last season, making Neal a natural fit after he earned an 86.9 PFF rushing grade on the concept in 2024.

2025 NFL Draft: One burning question for each NFC team before Round 1 begins | NFL.com
BURNING QUESTION: Is the quarterback situation going to end up being a positive?
It feels like Part 1 of the Giants’ quarterback plan was the addition of Russell Wilson as the starter on a one-year deal and Jameis Winston as his backup. Part 2 comes in the draft, when we see if they can find a quarterback they want to develop while one or both of those veterans serves as a bridge to the future. It’s not a bad idea, given the options available to them. It just seems that adding two big personalities who are past the point of playing their best football to a team that won three games last season is a train wreck waiting to happen. This upcoming Giants campaign won’t be defined by whether Wilson can perform at a decent level or if Winston has to take over at some point. It will come down to whether the team can find a real light at the end of this tunnel it has been stuck in at quarterback, which means the brass had better select a player who can excite people. Head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are heading into Year 4 together. This could be their last chance to move that franchise to a better place.
