The 2025 NFL Draft is only a month away and the New York Giants hold the third overall selection.

The Athletic’s Senior NFL Insider, Dianna Russini, and former NFL QB, Chase Daniel, break down options for New York. This discussion comes after the Giants signed veteran QB Jameis Winston to a two-year contract.
Elsewhere around the league, there’s growing speculation that Aaron Rodgers will end up signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
