There has been plenty of talk that the New York Giants could end up selecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, even though they signed two veteran quarterbacks this offseason.
The Giants added Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, which makes it seem as if their quarterback room is too crowded to accommodate Sanders, who may have star potential.
New York general manager Joe Schoen recently said the team doesn’t have to draft a quarterback this year, and former Giants running back Tiki Barber seems to agree.
“I think he’s saying the truth, which is, ‘We’re good enough to win right now, so we don’t have to draft a QB,’” Barber said, via WFAN Sports Radio.
Tiki believes Joe Schoen is implying that they feel good about the current QB room, and likely won’t be drafting one.

Many people expect Wilson, who helped the Pittsburgh Steelers reach the playoffs last season, to be New York’s starter, although one could argue that Winston would be a legitimate option in his own right.
The team clearly needs a young quarterback to build around, especially because it hasn’t had a true franchise QB since Eli Manning retired.
One possible option for New York is to select a second-tier QB such as Jalen Milroe, Quinn Ewers or Jaxson Dart a little later in the draft.
If one of them could be taken before the No. 34 overall pick in the second round, there is always the chance the Giants could trade up a bit to get their man.
