2025 NFL draft: Giants pass on Shedeur Sanders in latest Dane Brugler mock​on January 17, 2025 at 12:14 pm

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 and have approximately $60 million in available cap space to work with.

In his latest mock, Dane Brugler of The Athletic believes Big Blue won’t take either of this year’s top two prospects (Miami’s Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders of Colorado).

Brugler believes Tennessee will snatch up Ward with the first overall pick and that Sanders will slide all the way down to No. 6 to the Las Vegas Raiders.

He has the Giants taking the Heisman Trophy winner, Colorado defensive back and wide receiver, Travis Hunter, at No. 3.

If the Giants are unable to move up for Ward, would they like Shedeur Sanders enough to draft him at No. 3? In this scenario, they don’t and instead opt for arguably the best player in the draft.  Hunter would give New York an upgrade at corner — and he’d be a fun weapon for Brian Daboll to mix into the offense for the Giants’ TBD quarterback.

It seems like a very real scenario. Sanders may be more sizzle than steak heading into the draft and the Giants could easily pass for a more stable option such as Hunter.

Brugler does, however, have the Giants addressing their quarterback situation in the second round with Alabama’s Jalen Milroe at No. 34.

Some draft analysts actually have Milroe rated higher than Ward and Sanders. All of that is, of course, subject to change as we have yet to go through the NFL Combine and the various pro days and private workouts this spring.
