The New York Giants have emerged from the 2025 NFL draft with a sense of optimism, highlighted by the commendable performance of GM Joe Schoen, who made strategic picks that bolster both immediate and future needs. Key additions include linebacker Abdul Carter, lauded as a top prospect, and quarterback Jaxson Dart, secured through a trade back into the first round. With these selections, Schoen aims to turn the team's fortunes around after a difficult previous season.

However, not all players are enjoying the same momentum. Quarterback Tommy DeVito, despite being re-signed, finds himself on the roster bubble, overshadowed by the arrival of Dart and veteran Russell Wilson. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen also sees potential synergy with a revamped defense, featuring rookies Carter and Darius Alexander, but faces pressure to deliver results with this upgraded unit.
