Shedeur Sanders is now Giants’ best realistic QB hope in 2025 | NJ.com

That means Shedeur Sanders is now the Giants’ best realistic quarterback hope for 2025. Remember, this Giants offseason is all about finding the quarterback of the future. (Of course, it’s a pretty bad offseason — and draft class — to to be desperate for a quarterback, as the Giants are.)

There’s always the possibility the Browns take Sanders at No. 2, especially if they (and not the Giants) sign Wilson. So the Giants are not a lock to get Sanders at No. 3, but it’s certainly possible.

3. New York Giants: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

24. *New York Giants (via Vikings): Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss (Projected trade: Giants acquire No. 24 from Vikings for Nos. 34, 99, 219 and a 2026 third-rounder). Is talk of Dart going top 10 sincere, overcooked analysis or a reminder of what desperate teams will do for the king of NFL positions? The three-year starter led the SEC in completion percentage (69.3) and passing yards (4,279) last season.

Round 4, Pick 105: Hollis Pierce, OT, Rutgers. Pierce has an ideal combination of size and length (6-foot-8, 344 pounds), and the most appealing aspect of his game is the way he has rapidly improved in his career. The New Jersey native has yet to hit his ceiling, and in this spot, the Giants should be looking for a tackle to develop and get the most out of while working behind Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor. If Pierce excels fast enough, he could be an option as a swing tackle or give the Giants much-needed young depth at a position reliant on proven players who are not easily replaceable.

Jameis Winston gives Giants flexibility and stability they sorely needed in QB room | SNY.tv

There is immense pressure on Schoen and Daboll to turn this around now. They deserve credit for not reacting as such this offseason. Their signings have been calculated. Their moves are understandable. Winston falls in line with that. They didn’t throw dumb money at a stop-gap fix. They pursued all opportunities – Matt Stafford, Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco. They believed Winston to be the best.

So, they added him. They are not done addressing the position. There is still an outside chance of Rodgers, yes, but this reinforces the Giants’ desire to land a quarterback in the draft.

Giants like Jameis Winston’s locker room presence over Russell Wilson | USAToday.com

Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, speaking to PIX11 Sports, reports that the Giants prefer Winston’s locker room presence over Wilson’s. “They feel Jameis Winston will be better in the room than Russell Wilson would have been, and better in the locker room,” Schwartz said. “Russell Wilson is kind of a to-himself kind of guy — popular guy and a good guy — but Jameis Winston has that effervescent personality.”

Every NFL team’s free-agent signing with the most upside | PFF

The Giants very likely benefited from S. Jevon Holland, PFF’s third-ranked free agent, having a down year in 2024, signing him to a $15.1 million-per-year deal that makes him only the NFL’s eighth-highest-paid safety. While the 25-year-old recorded a career-low 63.0 PFF overall grade in 2024, he is PFF’s seventh-highest-graded safety over the past four years and his 20 forced incompletions over that span — despite some missed games over the past few years — are tied for the fifth most.
