The Giants have scouted the top six quarterbacks in the 2025 draft

The quarterback question is going to hang over the New York Giants coming off-season. Even if the team fires Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll, once more hopping on the executive carousel, the question about who will be their starting quarterback will remain.

Regardless of who is making the decisions or coaching the players, the Giants need to find a starting quarterback for 2025. More importantly, they need to find a true Franchise quarterback if they want to be a consistently competitive team. They might be able to find The Guy (or a bridge to The Guy)

Unsurprisingly, the Giants have been scouting the upcoming quarterback class heavily this year. We know that Joe Schoen and Tim McDonnell on hand to scout Cam Ward against Iowa State this weekend. Brandon Brown, Dennis Hickey, and Jesse Armstead, meanwhile, scouted Shedeur Sanders against BYU.

Albert Breer of the Monday Morning Quarterback is reporting that the Giants have had executives scout seven quarterbacks this year:

Cam Ward (Miami)

Shedeur Sanders (Colorado)

Carson Beck (Georgia)

Quin Ewers (Texas)

Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss)

Jalen Milroe (Alabama)

Garrett Neussmeier (LSU

Dart was arguably the best deep-ball passer in the nation this year and led college football in yards on explosive passes.

All of that could appeal to the Giants, who’ve built their offense to use the vertical element to create space underneath.

However, he only really performed against weaker opponents and Lane Kiffin’s offense is much more wide-open than what Dart will see in the NFL. There are questions whether he’ll be able to adapt to NFL offenses, though the fact that he hasn’t played in that style of offense doesn’t mean he can’t.

Status pending

Per Breer, the Giants also showed enough interest in LSU’s Garrett Neussmeier to send executives to scout him. However, Neussmeier returned to school for the 2025 season. That was almost certainly the correct decision for him, but it took a choice off the board for the Giants.

Jalen Milroe (Alabama) – Milroe’s skill set as an explosive (but smart) runner with an excellent deep ball to challenge all areas of the field would fit well within the Giants’ scheme and personnel. But while he’s shown remarkable improvement over the last two years, he still needs development as a technician and field general. It’s also notable that Milroe comes from a military family (his mother was Navy, his father a Marine), which would likely appeal to the Giants.

That said, Milroe is in a state of limbo as far as the draft is concerned. His developmental trajectory and elite athletic upside could make him a first round prospect. However, he has yet to declare for the draft and he — like Neussmeier and Drew Allar — could return to school. While there’s an expectation that Milroe will declare, he could decide that he has “unfinished business” after Alabama missed the expanded College Football Playoffs.
