The 2024 New York Giants were, to put it mildly, kind of a disaster.
They finished the season with a 3-14 record, ranking in the bottom 10 in just about every category on both offense and defense. They got abominable quarterback play from whomever they put under center, whether it was Daniel Jones or Tommy DeVito or Drew Lock or Tim Boyle. They topped 30 points just once all season, and scored 20 or more only five times in 17 games.
Their defense was better than the offense, but not by so much that it made the team competitive. Despite employing a strong defensive line including one of the very best players in the NFL (Dexter Lawrence), the Giants could not stop the run, could not successfully pressure opposing passers into mistakes and could not keep other teams off the scoreboard.
The one time they were able to successfully run something resembling an NFL offense, it actually came back to hurt the team.
Because the Giants secured a rollicking 45-33 win over the Colts late in the season, they’re picking third in the upcoming NFL Draft rather than first. And because they are picking third, they might not have a chance to solve the biggest problem on their roster: the lack of a clear answer at quarterback.
They made some moves to fill other needs in free agency, even bringing in a pair of options — albeit wholly uninspiring ones — to potentially start under center if they’re unable to find their new quarterback of the future in this draft class, but heading into the draft, this is still a roster that has a whole lot of, well, holes.
Let’s take a look at what’s on New York’s plate heading into the draft.

2025 NFL Draft winners and losers for Day 2: Steelers still need a QB; Shedeur Sanders’ free fall continues
Getty Images For the second straight day, the biggest story at the NFL Draft continues to be Shedeur Sanders. It wasn't a total shock to see him fall out of the first round on Thursday, but it was absolutely stunning to see him go undrafted on Day 2. There were a total of 70 picks made on Friday, and although three of them were quarterbacks, Sanders' name didn't get called. Yes, the free fall is continuing for Sanders, but he's not the only one who had a bad night. Let's go over our winners and losers from Friday. WINNERS CJ Stroud. It seems like the Texans' only goal in this draft was to make life easier for Stroud. After trading out of the first round, the Texans didn't get to make their first pick until Friday and they made the most of it. […]
Shedeur Sanders slides to 3rd day of 2025 NFL Draft: ‘I’m shocked it’s this bad’
In what can now be accurately described as a shocking slide — arguably the most stunning in NFL history — Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders went unselected through the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft on Friday. He will now wait to see if his name is called on Saturday, the final day of the draft, which encompasses rounds four through seven.Even amongst Sanders’ critics, his fall through the first 102 picks in the draft has been stunning. One former NFL general manager who scouted Sanders in both the 2023 and 2024 college football seasons — and who had historically been lukewarm in his assessments — expressed surprise that Sanders will be available when the fourth round opens on Saturday.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I’m shocked it’s this bad,” he said. “I thought he was a [second to third round grade] in reality, […]
Gary Trent Jr. rescues Bucks with historic 3-point outburst, and here’s why Damian Lillard wasn’t surprised
Getty Images MILWAUKEE -- Way back in September, before the Milwaukee Bucks had gotten off to a 2-8 start, or bounced back to win the NBA Cup, or traded franchise icon Khris Middleton, or saw Damian Lillard go down with a blood clot, or fallen behind the Indiana Pacers 2-0 in their first-round playoff series, the hot topic at media day was free-agent signing Gary Trent Jr.The veteran shooting guard had surprised many around the league by inking a one-year, veteran minimum contract with the Bucks in a move that was hailed as arguably the best value signing of the summer. Few in Milwaukee knew him better than Lillard, who was Trent's veteran when he entered the league with the Portland Trail Blazers. "I remember him being extremely confident," Lillard said at media day. "I remember the first day he walked […]
What we learned from Day 2 of 2025 NFL Draft: Packers taking WR needs seriously; Cowboys’ arrow pointing up?
Getty Images Three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft are now in the books after Friday night. And one massive name, Shedeur Sanders, did not have his name called for a second consecutive day, leaving countless analysts to forecast where -- or if -- the polarizing Colorado quarterback will come off the board on Day 3.Sanders isn't the only story of the draft, of course. Yet he's an awfully important one, considering several teams still in dire need of long-term quarterback help (see: the Pittsburgh Steelers) passed on the opportunity to secure him multiple times. That's why he's the headliner of our major takeaways from the second day of 2025 NFL Draft action, which included a handful of other surprises, including a couple of quarterbacks not named Sanders coming off the board in the third round.Which incoming players changed the […]
