The New York Giants desperately need a quarterback, but picking No. 3 overall could get squeezed out of one of the top signal-callers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders currently sit as the consensus top-two quarterbacks, with a perceived fall-off as the draft process begins to ramp up. With both the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns picking Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, also potentially needing quarterbacks, and the possibility another club trades up — perhaps Las Vegas at No. 6 — the Giants might be forced to go in another direction.
However it plays out, Schoen knows he’ll be getting a good player.

“We’re going to be open to anything,” Schoen said Tuesday from the Senior Bowl, via the team’s official website. “We’re in a good position sitting at three with the players that are available. By process of elimination, we know we’re going to get a good player. Regardless of what happens the next couple of months, we know there’s going to be a really good player there.”

At least two between Carter, Hunter, Ward and Sanders will be available when the Giants are on the clock. The question is whether one of them will be the all-important QB.
New York’s predicament, coupled with other QB-needy teams like the Raiders, Jets, Saints, etc., is why signal-callers are destined to be pushed up during the draft process. While Ward and Sanders might remain the clear-cut top two, quarterbacks like Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, Kyle McCord, and others, will be heavily discussed and dissected as Draft Season unfolds.
