How Many Picks Do the Giants Have in the 2025 NFL Draft?
Currently, the Giants have eight picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. They still maintain the rights to their original picks in Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, and Round 7.
A pick swap with the Buffalo Bills for lineman Boogie Basham Jr. cost the Giants their original Round 6 pick, but they were able to add a seventh-round pick from Buffalo in return.
The Giants’ original Round 5 pick was sent to the Carolina Panthers as part of the Brian Burns trade. However, the Giants were able to recoup a fifth-rounder in the trade that sent defensive tackle Leonard Williams to the Seattle Seahawks.
What Are the Giants’ Biggest Needs in 2025?
It was not a good year for the New York Giants, who ended up moving on from Daniel Jones as they struggled to be competitive for large parts of the year. They finished the season ranked 32nd overall with the 31st-ranked offense, the 20th-ranked defense, and the 27th-ranked offensive line.
Naturally, their biggest need is a quarterback. Drew Lock flashed in moments, but he is not at a starter level in the NFL and is also a free agent as things stand. Sitting third in the NFL Draft order, the Giants may have a QB fall into their lap, but more than likely, they will have to move up to secure either of the top two options. They could also look at trading for or signing a veteran option before that.
Even if they solve the quarterback issue, they need to add pieces around him. Their offensive line is a mess and needs upgrading at multiple positions this offseason. In terms of weapons, they could benefit from adding more receiving options, but they have never replaced Evan Engram, and getting a reliable tight end would give whoever plays quarterback a big target in the middle of the field.
The biggest need defensively is in their secondary. They have some good pieces, but they could benefit from adding more starter-level competition and more depth in case of injuries. They also have a lack of depth on their current EDGE depth chart for 2025. They have Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, so it is largely about role players and rotational pieces.
