The New York Giants are finalizing their preparation for the 2025 NFL draft while also opening the doors to the players and the offseason workout program.
The major question for the Giants is whether or not they grab one of the top quarterbacks in this class and when that might happen. Could it be at No. 3 overall in Round 1 or on Day 2, where they have three selections?
General manager Joe Schoen and his staff have done extensive work on the top quarterbacks over the past several months, traveling and hosting players in an effort to find a possible long term solution at the position.
Head coach Brian Daboll usually doesn't travel to pro days but this year, he attended a few. This will be his and Schoen's fourth draft. None of the 24 players they've selected in their first three drafts have been quarterbacks.
What we don't know is which quarterback they feel will be the best fit for the Giants. There have been rumors circulating the Giants are divided on which player is best for them. On Monday at the team's facility in New Jersey, Daboll was asked if he and Schoen are aligned in their evaluation of this year's quarterback class.
"Yeah, I think, again, the draft, it's really good to start catching up as a coach. Got a lot of work to put in. Our scouts and Joe have been doing a great job. I would say the process has been excellent every year," he said. "There is really good communication, and not just with the quarterbacks, with each position. It's okay to disagree. You're not going to be disagreeable. Everybody has thoughts and opinions of what they evaluate and what they see.
"There is great conversation. I mean, I really enjoy our process of how we do it with the assistant coaches, area scouts, national scouts, sometimes the pro scouts, with Joe, myself, people that are kind of in Joe's leadership group, our coordinators.
"There is a lot of good give and take, and at the end of the day when you're drafting a player, everybody is on board with who you draft and the process which we go through."
The ultimate decision will be made by Schoen, however, as per his recent assertion on the matter. He'll hear everyone out and take the player he feels will serve the Giants' needs the best.
"There is very professional conversations that we have and we're all trying to do the same thing: improve our football team," Daboll added. "Joe and I listen to a number of people, and then at the end of the day we'll have a conversation and pick the player we think will best be suited for the New York Giants."
That could be anywhere in this draft. Many experts believe the Giants will select the best overall player at No. 3 and take a quarterback afterward, either later in Round 1 via a trade or on Day 2, where they have three picks.
