The New York Giants will select third overall in the 2025 NFL draft, a spot they’ve only been in two other times in franchise history.

In his debut mock draft for the 2025 class, Kiper has Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders dropping to the Giants at No. 3. This is a dream scenario for Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who has scouted Sanders plenty and might need to take a quarterback to save his job.

The New York Giants hold the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and are, by many accounts, expected to be out of luck when it comes to landing one of the top two quarterbacks in this year's class.

Tae Banks, the Giants' 2023 first round pick, struggled through his second NFL season. Other than quarterback, starting corner is a glaring need.

Let the NFL mock drafts begin. This week the godfather of mock drafting — ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. — released his first pass at the 2025 NFL mock draft. The New York Giants hold the third overall selection in the upcoming draft and are desperately searching for their next franchise quarterback.

With the college football playoffs in the books, draft talk, which has already begun to pick up, will ramp up even further as the college all-star games are officially set to get underway, starting with the Shrine Bowl on January 30 and the Senior Bowl on February 1.

It looks as if No. 3 is one spot out of where the Giants need to be in what is widely considered an underwhelming and largely a two-quarterback draft.
