ESPN’s Mel Kiper has dropped his first NFL mock draft of 2025, meaning it must really be draft season. Kiper’s mock is good news for the quarterback-needy Giants as one of the two top quarterbacks in the class, Shedeur Sanders of Colorado, falls to New York at No. 3.
In picking Sanders for the Giants, Kiper says:
This is the best-case scenario for the Giants. Their Week 17 win over the Colts slid them to No. 3 overall, and now finding a new QB1 in the first round isn’t guaranteed. But Daniel Jones is gone, and Drew Lock is a free agent, so the Giants have to do something to clean up one of the worst passing games in the league.
