Joe Schoen Says Giants Are 'Open' to Trading No. 3 NFL Draft Pick, Have Received Calls

Teams that want to move up to the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL draft will apparently have the opportunity to do so if the price is right.

"We'll be open to all options," New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen told reporters Wednesday while also revealing the team has received some calls for that No. 3 pick in the draft.

New York is coming off a 3-14 season and has plenty of holes to fill, so trading a top-three pick for even more draft capital and perhaps even younger players could be an ideal strategy. That would allow the front office to address a number of different positions instead of just the one with that third pick.

That the team also added Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston this offseason also adds another layer to the trade discussions.

After all, it doesn't have to reach for a quarterback if it doesn't love some of its options in this year's draft. While the Giants have been connected to Shedeur Sanders at times, they could always roll with Wilson for 2025 and target the quarterback position in a future draft.

In that scenario, another team being more desperate for a quarterback such as Sanders in this draft would be ideal for the Giants.

That would give them all of the leverage in trade discussions, especially if Cam Ward is off the board to the Tennessee Titans at No. 1. Perhaps a potential trade partner would see Sanders as the only other signal-caller worth drafting that high in this year's class and give up plenty in return to acquire New York's No. 3 pick.

For now, B/R's NFL Scouting Department projected the Giants to select Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3 with Ward going to the Titans and Travis Hunter going to the Cleveland Browns at No. 2 in its latest mock draft.

But that could change if they end up making a trade.
