The New York Giants are quickly approaching a pivotal moment, holding the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. After moving on from Daniel Jones, the team added veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to strengthen their depth at the position. However, the search for a long-term franchise quarterback is still very much ongoing.
With the third pick, the Giants are in position to land a potentially elite quarterback. But according to CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin, there’s also a realistic scenario where New York opts to trade down from that spot. The reasoning? The Giants have two pressing needs—a high-end offensive lineman and a future QB—but can’t fill both with just one top-three selection. A slight trade down could still allow them to land a top-tier tackle while gaining additional assets.
One player the Giants are keeping a close eye on is Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the team is scheduled to host Sanders for a private workout on Thursday. New York has reportedly been evaluating him closely since the fall, and this final look could be critical in shaping their decision.
Of course, everything could shift depending on how the draft unfolds. If Sanders is still available after the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns make their selections at No. 1 and No. 2, the Giants will have a big decision to make: stick with the pick and possibly grab Sanders, or explore a trade down if the right deal is still on the table?
The intrigue surrounding the No. 3 pick is only growing, and the Giants are right at the heart of the drama.
