Yes they will, but only if it makes sense. 

And that means there is a decent chance the Giants do not come out of the 2025 draft with their future franchise quarterback. 

“If the value matches up with what we have on a player, there’s an opportunity to take any position,’’ Giants general manager Joe Schoen said Wednesday at his annual predraft news conference. “Not gonna force it if it’s not the right value. If the board lines up and we’re on the clock and that’s the position we want to go with, we’ll go with it. I’m not going to be backed into a corner on that.’’ 

“Not gonna force it” is the key phrase here. The Giants own the No. 3 pick, and there is certainly a good chance Shedeur Sanders will be on the board when they are on the clock.

The expectation is quarterback Cam Ward goes No. 1 to the Titans and either cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter or edge rusher Abdul Carter goes No. 2 to the Browns — it appears the Browns are leaning toward taking Hunter. 

At this point, and most likely next Thursday, when the draft opens up, it appears the Giants will pass on Sanders and take either Hunter or Carter — whichever player is there for the taking. 

“We like who will be there,’’ Schoen said of the top three prospects who he believes will be available for the Giants. 

Schoen this offseason signed 36-year old Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback and 31-year old Jameis Winston as the backup, with Tommy DeVito, 26, remaining on the roster.

These moves decrease the urgency Schoen might feel to locate a young quarterback capable of taking the reins in 2026.

He still wants one, but only if he believes there is one out there in this draft. 

“With the signing of those two players, I think we put ourselves in a position where I don’t think it’s mandatory or something with our feet to the fire, that we have to do,’’ Schoen said of selecting a quarterback in this draft. “The two guys we signed have played a lot of ball. They’ve got a lot of skins on the wall. I do think we’ve upgraded that room compared to where it was a year ago. I like the two guys that we have, and Tommy’s still in there, and he’s won games for us, too, and he’s still developing. 

“We’re happy with the makeup of the room right now.’’ 

Right now, though, is not the future, meaning the most important position on the field will be unsettled in 2026 if the Giants do not select a quarterback in this draft. 

“Where we are, yeah,’’ Schoen said. “You’d like to have a young franchise quarterback. I think every general manager would be. Everybody wants that. But the value has to be right or it doesn’t matter. You get that one wrong … you’ve just got to get that right. When you’re in position to get the right one at the right time, that’s when you pull the trigger.’’ 

To make sure the evaluations are as complete as possible, the Giants headed to Boulder, Colo., Wednesday afternoon.

The contingent, led by Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, will go out to dinner with Sanders and on Thursday conduct a private workout with him.

Then it is off to Tuscaloosa, Ala., for a private workout with Jalen Milroe, then to Louisville to work out Tyler Shough.

The group will be back home for Easter Sunday. 

“We’re gonna run out the shot clock here, we have until next Thursday,’’ Schoen said. 

The Giants certainly will be looking to add a quarterback at some point in the draft — it will be a surprise if they do not.

Schoen has yet to select a quarterback in any of his first three drafts running the show for the Giants.

He did not agree that he is under pressure to do so. 

“If there’s not one or you don’t perceive there to be one or it’s not available when you pick, that’s out of your control,’’ Schoen said. “Yeah, we’d love to have one if there’s one available.’’ 

There will be one available. Whether it is the right one, in Schoen’s mind, remains to be seen.
