NFL Confidential: How the Giants could flip ‘the draft on its head’ | FOX Sports

Just don’t rule out Giants owner John Mara as a wild card — and that could lead to Shedeur Sanders in New York.

“Mara loved Josh Allen back when they took Saquon [Barkley],” one source said. “He had his Eli (Manning) successor in Allen and didn’t push for it. That’s stuck with him. What if Thursday night he just says, ‘F— it, it’s my team. I want the QB.’ That flips the draft on its head.”

Pat Leonard: Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have to get this NFL Draft right — or else | New York Daily News

This is Joe Schoen’s fourth NFL Draft as Giants GM. And it could be his last if he doesn’t get it right.

Those are the stakes for a regime that failed so badly last season, they made the skies over MetLife Stadium look like the runway at Teterboro. That is the pressure and desperation that guides Schoen and Brian Daboll Thursday with aims to possibly select two players in the first round, including a position player at No. 3 overall and their next franchise quarterback in a trade up from the top of Round 2. NFL sources believe Schoen preferred Shedeur Sanders throughout the process but told the News in March that Daboll had warmed to Dart.

Russini’s what I’m hearing, NFL Draft edition: The buzz about Giants, Sanders and the QB2 race | The Athletic

The Giants made waves last week by scheduling last-minute private workouts with quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough. I’m told those workouts didn’t necessarily seal any decisions, but it’s clear New York is doing its homework. The team had Sanders ranked as its No. 1 quarterback headed into the combine, but things have since shifted.

For now, I’m told they want to be ready for anything — including the possibility of drafting a non-quarterback at No. 3 and then trading back into the first round later to grab “their guy” at QB.

2025 NFL Draft: One draft prediction for every NFL team | PFF

The Giants Trade Back Into The First Round For A Quarterback. New York appears poised to select Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick, so with its second selection, a move back into the late first round to secure its quarterback of the future feels likely, targeting either Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart. Sanders is the higher-ranked prospect on the PFF Big Board, coming in at No. 45 compared to Dart at No. 132.

NY Giants mock draft: Our final projection for 2025 NFL Draft | The Record

Round 4, Pick 105: Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia. Fairchild is a physical player both as a run blocker and pass protector with good footwork and a solid base. He also has proven to be an effective pull blocker and has the athleticism and technique to regularly get the second level in the run game. Fairchild is still somewhat of a developmental prospect despite his 24 starts for the ‘Dawgs, so this would be an ideal prospect to work with without forcing him into the lineup right away. Most of his experience has come at left guard, but there is some flexibility to his game.
