Several top QB prospects will throw this week
Cam Ward of Miami seems out of reach for the New York Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Tennessee Titans have the No. 1 pick and seem increasingly likely to use it on Ward rather than trade it to the Giants, who own the No. 3 pick.
Still, a Giants contingent led by GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll will be in Miami on Monday for the Miami Pro Day, continuing to do their due diligence on every available quarterback in the draft class.
This will be an important week on the Pro Day circuit for quarterback-needy teams like the Giants.
On Tuesday, Quinn Ewers will throw at the Texas Pro Day and Tyler Shough at the Louisville Pro Day, Will Howard’s Ohio State Pro Day is Wednesday and Jaxson Dart’s Ole Miss Pro Day is on Friday.
Colorado, with quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, won’t hold its Pro Day until Friday, April 4.
The Giants are not done filling out their quarterback room after the signing of Jameis Winston. They are paying Winston $8 million over two years, backup quarterback money. He is an insurance policy in the event they are unable to sign Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson, both of whom are reportedly still on the Giants’ radar.
Whether they trade up to No. 1 for Ward, take a quarterback at No. 3, or wait and select one at some point later in the draft the Giants figure to draft a rookie quarterback for the first time in the Schoen/Daboll era.
This week might help determine who that will be.
A few highlights
The Giants are represented at Cam Ward’s Pro Day in Miami by GM Joe Schoen, OC Mike Kafka and director of player personnel Tim McDonnell. The Browns have assistant GM (and former Canes LB) Glenn Cook there. https://t.co/RT1PwtTv7k
