New York Giants Top pick: No. 3 overall | Total picks: 8
It doesn’t matter who’s running the coaching staff or front office or quarterback room; the Giants are perpetually rebuilding. Current leaders Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, meanwhile, could use both more instant playmakers in the mold of Malik Nabers, and a sturdy longer-term arm to succeed veteran stopgaps Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. And that’s not even mentioning the offensive front, which has frequently been undermanned and overpowered. Basically, they need a little of everything.

Milroe has interviewed well, and even some clubs who aren’t run-heavy are intrigued. Several teams believe he’s worth a pick somewhere in the 20–50 range due to his upside. After recent private workouts with the Browns and Saints that were deemed “impressive,” Milroe, according to sources, has upcoming visits scheduled with the Giants, Rams and Seahawks.
“He’s got a super-strong arm — even by NFL standards,” the AFC East scout said. “Good touch on the long ball. He just needs more reps and time to refine his layering … see more defenses, watch more tape. Think more football in general. That’ll come. He’s one of those guys — if you see it, you go get him,” the scout added. “He might not start Day 1, but in this quarterback class, his ceiling is too high to ignore.”

Kyle McCord, Syracuse: McCord’s only year at Syracuse after transferring from Ohio State was exceptional. His 4,779 passing yards was not only the FBS leader for the season, but he also broke the all-time ACC record. He set school records in attempts (592), completions (391) and touchdown passes (34). I’ve heard some Brock Purdy comps with McCord, who could be successful in the right system and some patience.

The Giants need a long-term quarterback answer. Any NFL fan with a brain knows that by now. But that’s not the only position general manager Joe Schoen must address when the draft kicks off in Green Bay later this month. Not even close.
Schoen may have filled plenty of holes in free agency with the signings of Jevon Holland, Paulson Adebo and others, but the fourth-year, hot-seat GM still has plenty of work to do if he wants these Giants to compete in 2025.

3. Brian Daboll, head coach, New York Giants. Daboll and GM Joe Schoen have received a reprieve from Giants owner John Mara but must figure out how to quickly build a winning team. For now, that means bringing in veteran QB Russell Wilson to help revive one of the worst offenses in the league after failing to develop Daniel Jones and letting Saquon Barkley, the team’s best player, go to New York’s NFC East rival, where he helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl title. Daboll faces the challenging task of figuring out the quarterback position in the short term (Wilson) while also drafting a long-term answer at the position, whether that may be Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart or Jalen Milroe.

Remaining Depth/Future Needs: QB, G, EDGE, Dl. Greg Van Roten and Evan Neal aren’t under contract in 2026, and Giants guards cumulatively posted the 23rd-best PFF overall grade, which makes guard a position to target. Along the defensive line, Kayvon Thibodeaux could be on the trade block, while new signing Roy Robertson-Harris recorded only a 52.8 PFF overall grade last year.

New York Giants: Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux. Trading a 25-year-old pass rusher who had 11.5 sacks two years ago wouldn’t make a lot of sense for a rebuilding team … unless it knows it’s got a replacement ready. So, this really depends on whether the Giants end up drafting Penn State’s Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick. If they do, they might conclude that they’re not going to pay Thibodeaux big money when his contract expires after the season (or after 2026, if they pick up his fifth-year option), especially when they’ve already got huge money committed to DE Brian Burns and DT Dexter Lawrence. It might hurt them in the short term, but a deal could be a long-term help because a player like Thibodeaux could bring multiple premium draft picks in return.
