The New York Giants have the no. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, let’s talk about who they should *NOT* Draft, under any circumstance.

The 2024 New York Giants won 3 games.

I’ll be honest, not great.

They went into the season giving their inconsistent, injury-prone quarterback one last chance to do something he hadn’t done in his previous 5 seasons—play well.

He did not. Shocker.

But team owner and bread and circus’s enactor, John Mara, allowed GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll to return—one final chance to prove they can build a championship program.

Despite complaints from fans, I genuinely believe those two men are capable.

Look at their 2024 draft.

Malik Nabers caught 109 passes for 1,204 yards and 7 touchdowns—the first Giants wide receiver with 100+ receptions and 1,000+ receiving yards since 2016—back when Odell Beckham was a future Hall of Famer, ya know, before his abusive relationship with the sideline kicking net.

Some random rookie receiver couldn’t have put up those numbers.

Rome Udenze and Marvin Harrison Jr. were interchangeable on most mock drafts. Rome and Marvin had 116 catches combined. Just 7 more than Malik Nabers had by his damn self.

Joe Schoen deserves credit for picking the correct receiver.

2nd-round safety Tyler Nubin had 98 tackles last season—the second most on the squad.

3rd-round safety, Andru Phillips, had one of the team’s only 5 interceptions. He also recorded a sack and finished with 71 tackles—the 5th most on the team.

5th-round running back, Tyrone Tracy Jr, rushed for 839 yards—only 123 fewer yards than Saquon Barkley ran for the year prior. And Tracy wasn’t even getting playing time until Devin Singletary suffered an injury in Week 4.

Pair them with left tackle, Andrew Thomas, DT Dexter Lawrence and Edge Brian Burns—and the Giants have a framework, a skeleton of a talented team.

But again, they won 3 games.

There’s work to be done.

This team has the no. 3 pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.

This is make or break for the current New York Giants regime.

Giants Team Needs

And as of right now, Tommy DeVito is their starting quarterback…

Love Touchdown TD—the local Jersey Boy whose agent’s mentor was Lionel Hutz—but I wouldn’t hate bringing in a rookie QB to compete for the job.

They can sit behind the great Tommy DeVito but there should be a rookie on the depth chart.

As mentioned earlier, the Giants had only 5 interceptions (still more than the Browns though. Rough over there…).

They gave up 210 passing yards a game—the 7th least in the NFL.

Shane Bowen’s defense does a great job containing gains but without a star corner to grab interceptions or disrupt passes, teams were dominating time of possession, slowly inching the ball down the field.

Oh, also the offensive line sucks. But I feel every team outside of Philadelphia feels the same about their O-Line.

So I want to toss some names out that I think will be available at the top of the draft and rank them based on who I believe the Giants should draft to players they should not, under any circumstance—even if it’s their dying spouses’s final request—draft.

100% Should Draft

2025 nfl mock draft

1. Travis Hunter—CB/WR: The 2024 New York Giants scored 16 points a game—31st in the NFL.

The team touched the endzone only 30 times all year.

Travis Hunter scored 15 touchdowns alone in Colorado.

Hunter had half as many touchdowns dolo as the Giants did as a team last year.


He also happens to be the best cornerback available.

Travis Hunter had 4 interceptions. 1 fewer than the entire Giants defense.

I hate doing hot takes but I think the Giants should take a guy who could go down as one of the greatest football players ever. Probably.

2. Abdul Carter—DE: The Giants have the opportunity to put together one of the great pass-rushing units in the NFL.

Any team drafting Abdul Carter has the chance to put together one of the best pass-rushing units in the NFL but having 3-time All-Pro Dexter Lawrence next to him helps.

3. Cam Ward—QB: Okay, you have 3 options on who the 2025 New York Giants starting quarterback can be. You ready?

A.) Tommy DeVito—the coach’s son who loves nothing more than being sacked on 3rd down.

B.) Aaron Rodgers—a paranoid 41-year-old teenager who’s modeled his life after Dale Gribble.

C.) Cam Ward—the 2024 ACC Player of the Year and Davey O’Brien Trophy winner (given to the best QB in college football), capable of generating game-changing heroics like this:

Tough choice, I know. Take your time answering me.

Risky But Worth It

1. Armand Membou—OT: What I’m never going to do is sit here and pretend as if I can evaluate offensive linemen.

I believe Membou will most likely have a great NFL career.

I also believe taking an offensive lineman with the no. 3 pick only makes sense if the better players are off the board.

Now, the Giants can trade down and get more draft picks later and scoop up Membou a few spots later—but if any of those 3 players I mentioned above are available and they instead, choose a tackle, when they already have Andrew Thomas, then anything less than 10 All-Pro seasons from Membou would be a failure.

He needs to become one of the best in the world for this pick to make sense. And shit, what if he is?

2. Jalen Milroe—QB: Jalen Milroe answers the question: what if Daniel Jones was slightlyyyyy better?

Unlike Jones, Jalen Milroe’s success at Alabama came against far more talented players and coaching staffs but I’m having a difficult time seeing a 16-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio last season resulting in NFL success.

Those are literally Daniel Jones numbers.

Drafting Jalen Milroe feels like a lateral move but perhaps getting coached up by Brian Daboll early—instead of Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge—could build a solid foundation of success that Jones wasn’t afforded.

3. Tyler Shough—QB: Here’s what NFL Insider, Jordan Schultz, said about Shough:

“Louisville QB Tyler Shough—one of the fastest-rising prospects in the draft—has 10 pre-draft visits and four private workouts lined up with key decision-makers, including GMs, head coaches, and offensive coordinators, sources said. At 6’5”, 220 lbs, Shough has displayed a strong, accurate arm and surprising mobility (4.62 40-yard dash at the Combine). With the draft just over a month away, his buzz keeps building…”

We don’t have to overthink this. We just saw it last year with Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr—it’s okay to draft the guy who has played well at several top programs instead of an Anthony Richardson or Trey Lance—who have hypothetical/never-before-seen talents nesting within them or whatever.

Just get the kid who’s already good.

MUST AVOID

1. Shedeur Sanders: This isn’t even a real assessment of Shedeur Sanders’s talent.

He could be the best QB in this draft.

But the Giants do not have a strong enough reputation and infrastructure to withstand the daily attention this already-famous rookie QB will bring to their day-to-day operations.

The Shedeur Sanders-led Giants lose Week 1 and ESPN is spending the next 5 days, on every single problem, asking if it’s time for Deion Sanders to replace Brian Daboll as head coach.

Shedeur Sanders will burn the New York Giants organization to the ground, whether he’s good or not.

2. Ashton Jeanty: Remember the last time the Giants had a Top 3 pick—needing both a QB and offensive line—and elected to select the best running back out of college—resulting in 3 head coaches, 2 GMs and 1 playoff win in 6 seasons?

Fuck that.

3. Will Campbell: Going into the NFL Combine, Will Campbell was the top O-Lineman on the board.

Then they measured him and discovered he had itty bitty T-Rex arms.

Will Campbell could end up being great.

Maybe.

But the Giants do not have room for error.

They can’t draft a tackle whose arms aren’t long enough to keep the greatest athletes on the field, edge rushers, from piledriving him into the turf before he gets a chance to even get a hand on them.

I cannot spend the season watching clips of him and Evan Neal being stampeded by D-Linemen over and over again.

 

The Giants will probably draft Sheduer Sanders. I’ll see you all back here in 6 years when they have a Top 5 pick again and need a QB. Can’t wait. Hopefully Emperor Elon grants me a few hours of Wifi to type before sending me back to labor in the meme mines.
