The New York Giants will enter the 2025 NFL Draft with a more stable quarterback room after making a pair of additions in free agency.
The signings of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston will create competition in the quarterback room, but it also gives the Giants the flexibility to take the player they truly want with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Even despite the additions of Wilson and Winston, the Giants could still grab a quarterback prospect at No. 3, or they could wait until later in the draft to select a different quarterback prospect on Day 2 or 3. Regardless, most analysts believe New York will walk away from the draft with a rookie quarterback.
However, Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report predicted the Giants will make a stunning move, bypassing the quarterback position altogether.
“New York is a team in win-now mode. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are on the hot seat entering the 2025 campaign. The idea of developing a non-first-round quarterback in hopes of him becoming the starter down the road feels far-fetched considering those circumstances. Basically, the Giants could be drafting the starting quarterback for their replacements if something drastic doesn’t change,” Sobleski wrote.
This would be a pretty stunning turn of events for the Giants. Even if they aren’t sold on a quarterback prospect in the draft, most still expect them to take a shot at the position. It seems they’re out of the running for Cam Ward, but there’s a chance Shedeur Sanders will be available.

The idea that the Giants are in win-now mode holds water simply from the perspective that Schoen and Daboll are on the hot seat. Still, the additions of Wilson and Winston hardly make the Giants a playoff contender.
It will be interesting to see what unfolds for the Giants and though it’s plausible, it would be a surprise if they don’t walk away from the draft with a quarterback prospect.
