Get ready for another year of predicting who the Giants’ next franchise quarterback will be.
With three quarterbacks already out of the lineup Thursday, the Giants began their search for a future franchise quarterback by selecting receiver Malik Nabors at No. 6.
Here’s a premature look at the top options in the 2025 NFL Draft in what scouts consider to be a generally subpar quarterback class, but one that includes players like Joe Burrow and Jaden Daniels in 2019. In 2023, leaving room for someone to appear out of nowhere next fall.
Shedur Sanders, Colorado State, 6-2, 215
The son of his coach (Hall of Famer) Deion Sanders could have been a first-rounder in 2024, but he’s targeting the No. 1 overall pick.
He’s accurate (27 touchdowns, 3 interceptions), but he holds the ball too long (52 sacks) and has a game of ups and downs.
Will he and his father try to pull an Eli Archie Manning and decide on a landing spot?
Quinn Ewers, Texas, 6-2, 205
The former No. 1 overall pick has so far kept backup Arch Manning at bay.
Ewers will likely integrate a new receiver cast for the Longhorns, just as Drake Maye had to do when he took a step back in 2023.
Ewers has natural arm talent and a versatile release point, but when his mechanics go awry he puts the ball at risk.
Carson Beck, Georgia, 6-4, 220
Beck, who ranks third in the nation in passing yards (3,941) and fourth in passing completion percentage (72.4), was a comfortable replacement for national champion Stetson Bennett.
He has prototype size and smooth mechanism.
Beck was especially deadly against the blitz because of his quick decision-making, with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions.
How well can he move in the pocket?
Riley Leonard, Notre Dame, 6-4, 217
The Duke transfer’s debut at Notre Dame will be his first game since Oct. 28, after reportedly undergoing his second ankle surgery.
Unlike the first three, Leonard is a dual threat (699 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2022).
Leonard throws into the narrow window below, but the deep ball needs polishing.

Jalen Milroe, Alabama, 6-2, 220
Milroe, who was asked to change positions by former offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, filled the role with a 172.2 passer rating last season.
He will now work in new head coach Karen DeBoer’s explosive spread attack.
Can the dual-threat (531 yards and 12 touchdown rushes) improve on his below-average accuracy over 10 yards downfield?
