Let the NFL mock drafts begin. This week the godfather of mock drafting — ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. — released his first pass at the 2025 NFL mock draft. The New York Giants hold the third overall selection in the upcoming draft and are desperately searching for their next franchise quarterback.

ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr is out with his first mock draft of 2025, and his selection for the New York Giants might make more than a few Giants fans happy if it comes to fruition. Kiper’s self-described “best-case scenario” for the Giants has the team selecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders out of Colorado with the third overall pick.

In his debut mock draft for the 2025 class, Kiper has Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders dropping to the Giants at No. 3. This is a dream scenario for Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who has scouted Sanders plenty and might need to take a quarterback to save his job.
