2025 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Giants pᴀss on Shedeur Sanders — but still get a quarterback

The Serby Mock 3.0 gives the Giants a quarterback.

But not Shedeur Sanders.

First, Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll go back to a future when Big Blue terrorized quarterbacks with a pack of pᴀss-rushing wolves before securing a second pick in the first round.

And Aaron Glenn moves in silence to pick off a defensive stud: 

1. тιтans

Cam Ward, QB, Miami (Fla.)

Coach Brian Callahan needs his own franchise quarterback, no disrespect intended to Will Levis.

2. Browns

Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Touched by both hands of God. Unmatched movement skills for a WR and instincts for a CB.

3. Giants

Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

Schoen might get a call from pal Dan Morgan in Carolina, but unless it’s an offer he can’t refuse, go ahead and let this Micah Parsons near-facsimile hound the quarterback alongside Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux the way the Tom Coughlin Giants did back in the day.

4. Patriots

Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Mike Vrabel needs to keep Drake Maye upright, and this guy’s tenacity overshadows the 33-inch arms.

5. Jaguars

Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

The rookie regime helps Trevor Lawrence with a plug-and-play RT as an upgrade for Anton Harrison.

6. Raiders

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

New coach Pete Carroll helps Geno Smith and plays keep-away from Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert.

7. Jets

Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

A partner in crime alongside Quinnen Williams to help Glenn and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks stuff the run.

8. Panthers

Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia

A 6-foot-1, 245-pound heat-seeking missile to juice the league’s worst pᴀss rush who can also cover running backs down the field.

9. Saints

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Rookie coach Kellen Moore has the luxury to prevent a fall that would drive Coach Prime bonkers and choose his franchise quarterback to replace Derek Carr in 2026.

10. Bears

Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia

The 6-5, 260-pounder, who was slowed by an ankle issue, can help Montez Sweat bring the heat on Jared Goff and Jordan Love. Williams’ best football is ahead of him, as they say.

11. 49ers

Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Double trouble with George Kittle to aid and abet Brock Purdy. Though defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, pounding the table for help, might have to be restrained in the war room.

12. Cowboys

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

A 6-4 target who will remind Dak Prescott of Mike Evans or Drake London to take heat off CeeDee Lamb.

13. Dolphins

Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas

The urgency to keep Tua Tagovailoa upright increased with LT Terron Armstead’s retirement.

14. Colts

Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

A gift for Daniel Jones/Anthony Richardson. In a perfect world, he could have a Brock Bowers-Travis Kelce impact. 

15. Falcons

Mike Green, Edge, Marshall 

Coach Raheem Morris won’t survive unless his defense can improve dramatically on 31 sacks.

16. Cardinals

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

A 6-2, 194-pound corner to combat the likes of Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp and Brandon Aiyuk. 

17. Bengals

Grey Zabel, G, North Dakota State

Joe Burrow gets a 6-6, 312-pound plug-and-player who has the versatility to play all over the O-line.

18. Seahawks

Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State

GM John Schneider is committed to fortifying the trenches, and LG Laken Tomlinson is in Houston now.

19. Buccaneers

Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

A 6-3, 220-pound freak who can partner with Antoine Winfield Jr. for Todd Bowles.

20. Broncos

Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Sean Payton craves a three-down back to help Bo Nix.

21. Steelers

Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

A thoroughbred (4.39 in the 40) versatile enough to play in the slot or on the boundary opposite Joey Porter Jr.

22. Chargers

Kenneth Grant, NT, Michigan

Jim Harbaugh turns to his old man-mountain Michigan man to replace Poona Ford.

23. Packers

Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

A replacement — with 4.28 speed and elite athleticism — for Jaire Alexander.

24. Vikings

Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Harrison Smith is 36 and Cam Bynum is in Indianapolis, making this a high-IQ chess piece for defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

25. Texans

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Stefon Diggs is a Patriot and Tank Dell (knee) will miss the 2025 season, so C.J. Stroud enjoys a reunion with a former Buckeyes teammate who can help Christian Kirk ease the burden on Nico Collins.

26. Rams

Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

27. Ravens

Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

An elite prospect rehabbing an October knee injury to serve as a swing tackle while he learns his craft behind re-signed veteran LT Ronnie Stanley.

28. Lions

Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M

If anyone can get a 6-5, 277-pounder with a perfect 10.0 relative athletic score (RAS) to figure out how to finish, it’s Dan Campbell.

29. Commanders

Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

A 4.29 flyer to replace Dyami Brown for Jayden Daniels.

30. Giants (from Bills)

Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

Schoen forks over his fourth-round pick to former boss Brandon Beane to move up from No. 34 and grab his developmental quarterback with an elite running dimension.

31. Chiefs

Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

An explosive, 6-4, 296-pound bully with maturity concerns who Chris Jones can take under his wing.

32. Eagles

Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

If he slides here, it is only because of his recent shoulder surgery. Nakobe Dean (knee) could miss the early part of the season.
