As the Giants select receiver Malik Nabers in the first round of the draft, speculation surrounding their future franchise quarterback intensifies. With three quarterbacks already off the board, the Giants have punted their quarterback search into the future. However, scouts are less optimistic about the options in the 2025 NFL Draft, considering it to be a subpar quarterback class.

One player generating excitement is the son of coach Deion Sanders, who had a standout season in 2024. Although he could have been a first-round pick in the previous year, he is eying the No. 1 overall selection. His accuracy, evident from his impressive 27 touchdowns and three interceptions, makes him an intriguing prospect. However, there are concerns about his tendency to hold onto the ball for too long, resulting in a high number of sacks. He also exhibits a boom-or-bust playing style.

Another promising candidate is Arch Manning, who has been waiting in the wings as a backup. He has managed to hold off the competition and display his potential as a future franchise quarterback. Similar to Drake Maye's experience in 2023, Manning will face the challenge of adjusting to a new set of receivers at the Longhorns.

Meanwhile, Ewers has caught the attention of scouts with his natural arm talent and varied release points. However, his mechanics sometimes get off track, leading to risky throws and putting the ball in harm's way. Despite this, Ewers has impressive statistics, ranking nationally in passing yards and completion percentage.

Notably, Beck has seamlessly filled the shoes of Stetson Bennett, the national championship-winning quarterback. He has excelled in making quick decisions, particularly when facing the blitz. Beck's ability to evade interceptions in these situations has impressed scouts, making him a desirable option for the Giants.

In contrast to the other candidates, Leonard offers a dual-threat style of play. With 699 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground in 2022, he is a formidable running threat. However, scouts question his deep ball accuracy and whether he can improve his below-average performance beyond 10 yards downfield.

As the Giants continue their search for a future franchise quarterback, these top options in the 2025 NFL Draft will surely be closely evaluated. With each player possessing unique strengths and weaknesses, the decision-making process for the Giants' organization promises to be an intriguing one.
