There may be one silver lining from the disastrous 2024 season for the New York Giants.
With two games remaining in the regular season, the Giants are in sole possession of the No. 1 overall pick inn the 2025 NFL Draft.
Going into Week 16, the Giants were tied with the Las Vegas Raiders, both teams holding a 2-12 record.
As the Giants lost their game in historic fashion — a franchise-record 10th consecutive loss — the Raiders clawed their way to a home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Now, the Giants essentially control their fate going into the final two weeks of the season with games against the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles coming up.
It will be interesting to see what the Giants ultimately do with the No. 1 overall pick, but the general consensus has them taking a quarterback.
Though the offseason will help decide what happens, the top two quarterbacks in the 2025 draft are Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward, the latter of which was a Heisman finalist.
Whether the current regime of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll will be around to make that pick remains to be seen.
It might behoove the Giants to clean house if they’re starting over with a new quarterback, but it would also be another cycle of firing a tandem every two or three years.
Either way, the Giants seem to be on pace to hold the No. 1 overall pick for the first time in franchise history during the Super Bowl era.
