The New York Giants enter a very, very difficult offseason. With head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen on their last leg, each won't be able to survive another rough season. They are also trying to find their franchise quarterback, which isn't ideal for an organization that needs a big year.
This staff is going to need to hit big in the 2025 NFL Draft this April. If they don't, it could be tough sledding ahead. In this latest 7-round mock draft, grabbing the quarterback of the future is essential, as is finding answers for the biggest holes on the roster.
There’s a chance that the Giants are going to have to move up to make sure they can secure Ward. While he may be a bit volatile, Ward is also incredibly talented. New York needs a new face to lead the franchise.

Revel is typically included in most first round mock drafts, but there is a reasonable possibility that he could fall a bit. He is a tremendous talent at the cornerback position, but needs to get back fully healthy and continue to develop physically.

Cornerback to the bottom of the screen (#28). Possesses outstanding combination of height/length. Really clean transition, carries down the field, and extremely competitive at the catch point. Building blocks are fantastic. pic.twitter.com/fKoXzq4VtR
Williams is the type of versatile athlete that can do a little bit of everything for an offense. He can line up at various spots as a wide receiver, run wildcat, and some teams even have him graded as a true running back. Ward gets an outstanding weapon to work with.
Isn’t a more unique skill player in the 2025 NFL Draft than Savion Williams (TCU)… a WR by trade, Williams has spent a lot of time in the backfield this season.

Rare blend of size (6036v, 228v), explosiveness, and playmaking instinct. Natural comp = Cordarrelle Patterson. pic.twitter.com/x663YYb8no
Mukuba was a good player at Clemson. He was a tremendous one at Texas. While he has experience playing from the depth, the increased physicality was something to behold, and helps make him a much more well-rounded player.
Texas S Andrew Mukuba (#4) was a mad man against Georgia, making plays both in the run and pass game. Showed outstanding physicality with a good frame (6011v, 195v) and smooth movement skills.

Entered the season with a lot of late round grades, but has helped himself big time. pic.twitter.com/W1HO5wnEUj
If not for the injury to McLaughlin, he might be in contention to the top center off of the board. He was very average at Alabama, but took his game to a whole other level with the Buckeyes in 2024.
Overshadowed a part of the best defensive line in college football last season, Pegues is a round ball of quickness. Not only can he make an impact up front, but he also rushed for seven touchdowns in 2024. This is the definition of fun.
We have been waiting years for Nelson to take a big step forward, but unfortunately, that never happened. Nelson is still a gifted athlete with some upside to tap into. At this point in the draft, you can't ask for much more.
Downs plays with tremendous physicality in the run game, and great effort as a pass rusher. While the latter will never be anything special, Downs does have the profile to stick on a roster for quite some time. He is the definition of a “grinder” on a roster.
