When evaluating an NFL draft class for a certain team, it is wise to ignore the day-after hot takes that assign grades and thumbs-up, thumbs-down designations. Often — almost always — it takes even more than one season to truly determine how a team did in the draft.
What is revealing is to go back and look at how a player was viewed leading up to his draft. What did the scouts say? What was the media buzz? Where was he projected to go versus where he actually went? Were the strengths he was thought to have actually strengths in the NFL? Were the weaknesses and shortcomings he was tagged with accurate predictors of struggles at the next level?
As the Giants geared up for the 2025 draft, it was no secret they were comprehensive in their coverage of every position, and especially detailed and studious in their work with the quarterbacks in this draft class. It was also no secret they wanted to find a potential future franchise quarterback in this draft, but that they were concerned that this group is not particularly strong, and after Cam Ward there might not be a player they felt confident could develop into a long-term starter.
It is almost always hit or miss with quarterbacks. The league gets that position wrong more often than it gets it right. Look no further than the player the Giants signed this offseason to be their starter in 2025.
