The Giants enter the 2025 NFL Draft with the third overall pick.

After a 3-14 season, how will New York use its first-round selection?

Here’s what the experts have the Giants doing…

… Is it too soon to already be projecting a trade to start things off? Not with the Giants’ desperation at quarterback only continuing to ratchet up as their available choices dwindle. Regardless of how their Aaron Rodgers pursuit pans out, New York might not be able to afford to take a passive approach to the draft and risk having Ward claimed before the team is on the clock. No matter when he takes the reins to the offense, the 6-foot-2, 219-pounder figures to be the dynamic catalyst who can push Malik Nabers and the rest of this group to the next level.

After a very active free agency, this is the last thing for the Giants to do: secure a quarterback. And this swap would be a win-win for both sides. The Giants FINALLY get a quarterback, and the Titans add extra picks at the beginning of their rebuild, but don’t move down too far, out of the elite prospect range in this class.

The reports are that the Titans like Ward, but they’ll probably like what the desperate Giants will offer them more. After whiffing in free agency, New York trades up to draft its franchise quarterback.

Let’s assume they get Russell Wilson, or if they are lucky Rodgers. If so, they can stick with best player available instead of reaching on another QB who doesn’t grade out as a top-3 selection. Hunter is such a great prospect at two premium positions that he’s hard to pass up, especially with a few Day 2 QB options available as insurance to either veteran QB. I’d play Hunter at WR and throw him 100+ targets every year, and if he plays a few snaps on defense as a bonus, that’s great. But he’s an S-tier receiver prospect and they are looking for a co-star on offense.

Hunter is a true two-way player who could impact both sides of the ball in New York, but his rare anticipation, elite athleticism, and natural football IQ project best at corner. There isn’t anyone who can do what the Heisman Trophy winner does in the NFL.

The debate of best player available boils down to Carter and Hunter Jr., in my opinion. With Carter off the board, New York goes in the direction of the Colorado man, who could fill either or both cornerback and wide receiver roles for that organization.

The Giants might as well have hung a neon sign on the front door of their facility that says “HELP WANTED AT QB; WILL DO ANYTHING.” But again, here’s a what if. What if Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll, desperate to win right now, manage to bring in Rodgers or Russell Wilson? You think two guys who might not be here in 2026 want to draft a quarterback to sit behind the veteran? I don’t. I think they draft the player that helps them the most right now, and I can’t help but think about New York’s best teams always having a dynamite pass rush.

If the Giants didn’t have such a desperate need at quarterback, I could envision Sanders falling. But Schoen needs to save his job and won’t make it to the next offseason if he doesn’t find an answer at the most important position. Sanders is a surgical pocket passer with pinpoint accuracy, but his poor pocket presence and middling physical traits could limit his upside.
