Schoen: Giants 'open to anything' with No. 3 pick

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen isn't locked into selecting a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

"We're going to be open to anything," Schoen said at the Senior Bowl, according to team writer Dan Salomone. "We're in a good position sitting at three with the players that are available.

"By process of elimination, we know we're going to get a good player. Regardless of what happens the next couple of months, we know there's going to be a really good player there."

The Giants finished 3-14 this season, tied for the worst record in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans. Owner John Mara decided to retain head coach Brian Daboll and Schoen despite an 18-32-1 record with one playoff appearance since they were hired in 2022.

Quarterback Daniel Jones, who got a four-year, $160-million contract from Schoen in 2023, is no longer with the organization after getting benched then released in November. The Giants don't have a signal-caller under contract for the 2025 season. Drew Lock and Tim Boyle are set to hit the open market in March, while Tommy DeVito is an exclusive rights free agent.

New York's offense has struggled over the past two years without consistent results at quarterback, ranking 30th in offensive success rate from 2023-24, according to Ben Baldwin's database.

Colorado's Shedeur Sanders is projected to be one of the quarterbacks off the board in April's draft. Over the past two seasons under his dad, Deion Sanders, Shedeur threw for 7,364 passing yards with 64 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while completing 71.8% of his passes.

Sanders' 82.8 EPA generated in 2024 ranked fourth among college football quarterbacks, per ESPN analytics.

"He's a great kid, he's a great kid, a really good personality, football smart, his dad is a football coach," Schoen said. "... It's a little bit cliché, but he checks all the boxes of a (player with a) dad that is a football coach and the passion that he approaches the game with.

"It was good getting to meet him. He's had a really good career at Colorado, and obviously (I'm) looking forward to getting to know all those guys in the rest of the process."

The first round of the 2025 draft kicks off April 24.
