Ward isn't the “safeiest” bet in such QB options, but he does have the highest cap. He is the one who always demonstrates the ability to create explosive dramas with his arms and legs in college. He also tends to try to do too many things, and you're more likely to escape with the NFL in college. As for what's suitable here, Brian Daboll The Giant's job was obtained for the work he did Josh Allen. While I didn't compare to Allen's prospects, many of Ward's shortcomings are similar to Daboll's having to stand out from Allen's game.

QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

With two-way star Travis Hunter still on the board, the Giants will face a tough decision: add one of the most talented skilled players in decades, or prioritize the game's most valuable position .

Ultimately, investing in quarterbacks will be a front-end logic move under pressure in 2025, especially with limited options available through other avenues.

Sanders has a solid foundation as a passer and fundamentally the throwing mechanism provides him with a new level of tooling. But his most impressive feature is probably his ability to limit errors. Since moving to FBS, his decline is only 10.9%, which is a 97% score.

CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado

The Big Apple’s two-way talent! I like! The Giants won the second-place interception in the league in 2024 (Five). Ballhawking Hunter can help New York do better, take the ball away – and do some touchdowns as a part-time receiver.

Dexter Lawrence It's as good as they come, but they can't do it alone. With the board’s highest QB, the Giants added Mason Graham along with Lawrence, immediately gaining one of the league’s most terrifying DT tandems. Graham is a contributor to immediate influence.

CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado

It's not a demand for the New York quarterback, but it's a huge influx of talent that can stimulate growth on both sides of the ball. The Hunter is some kind of fabulous creature, cursed to roam the earth, and he decides to make the most of it. He can be in the younger sub-level Dru Phillips (If 2024 is an indication) and Deonte Banks (Last fall, the first round pick in 2023 returned tragically). He can Malik Nabers To make life easier, people will throw it no matter next fall.

Despite being AP Coach of the Year in 2022, head coach Brian Daboll is still in the hot spot. Finding the right way to deploy the hunter will provide him with work guarantees, and it is important to cheer up a tortured giant fans after six years of enduring Daniel Jones experience.

Good luck finding someone stronger than Sanders. He will stand in his pocket (after one blow) to strike for the next game. He isn't the best athlete and doesn't have the strength of Cam Ward's arm, but he does a lot of things. Hope to see him play more consistently on time, but part of it has to do with Colorado's offensive line inconsistent.

If the Giants eventually take quarterbacks here, they have to be sorted out on the offensive line of the free agent. Ward's ability to limit turnovers while expanding the game will bring this offense back on track and open up Brian Daboll's dramatic blow. It is worth noting that there are some mock New York swapped some positions and then selected an offensive winger (e.g. Kelvin Bankwith a lot of experience to play RT); in this case, the Giants may add a veteran passer to free agent and/or pick one in the draft later in April.
