Well, CBSSports.com’s latest mock draft does have a quarterback falling to the Giants at No. 3 — Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. That projection follows Miami quarterback Cam Ward going first to the Titans and Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter going second to the Browns.

It’s a near-lock that the Giants will draft a quarterback this year. They haven’t drafted one since Daniel Jones in 2019, so they’re overdue to take the bat off their shoulder. But it’s possible they don’t take a quarterback with the No. 3 pick, which I believe is the premise of your question.

Sanders is smart and throws well within the structure of an offense. His experience under former Browns coach Pat Shurmur, who runs NFL-style concepts, will help him adapt quickly to the pros.

Imagine this scenario playing out at the 2025 NFL Draft: The Titans take Miami’s Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick (not a surprise). The Browns take elite Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 2 (a bit of a stunner given the recent Deshaun Watson news, but Cleveland has plenty of position needs).

The New York Giants have made it clear that finding their quarterback of the future is the No. 1 priority this offseason. What is unclear, however, is who that player will be. The Giants hold the third overall selection in the 2025 NFL draft
