The projected first-round pick of the Giants in the 2023 NFL Draft
NJ's EAST RUTHERFORD On Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC, and the ESPN App, it's impossible to predict what the New York Giants will do with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. They are even unsure of their exact course of action.
Joe Schoen, general manager, said last week, "I wish I knew. "I'm attempting to understand. Pick 25 is a little more difficult to come up with names for than Picks 5 and 7.
Naturally, the task of finding the actual target becomes more challenging the later the selection in the first round. There are just so many possible outcomes before the Giants are put on the clock.
We'll completely rule out the top two cornerbacks, Devon Witherspoon and Christian Gonzalez, as well as wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba from the running for this exercise. Forget about all of the quarterbacks, offensive tackles, and elite edge defenders as well. But everything else is up for discussion.
So let's begin. The Giants' pick No. 25 this year is most likely to go to one of the following prospects:
If Banks lives to be 25 seems to be the biggest unknown.
WR Jordan Addison, USC: Ignoring the Giants' meetings with the top wide receivers in the draft would be foolish. Before their pro days, Brian Daboll and Schoen didn't just pick these players at random to have dinner with. Addison is a player they are thought to be particularly high on, and they are genuinely interested in adding to the position.
According to an NFL executive who studied Addison, it was "really polished, really complete." Again, there is no assurance that he will be there for the Giants; according to another source, his range is picks Nos. 12 to 25.
Quentin Johnston, a wide receiver from TCU, is a bigger player who would give the Giants a more

Boston College WR Zay Flowers Flowers is only this low because it doesn't seem likely that he will be available at pick number 25. One source thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers will select him with the 17th overall pick. According to ESPN analytics, there is only a 35% chance that he won't be chosen before pick No. 25. However, there is a good chance that the Giants will choose Flowers if he is present. According to rumors, the Giants have high expectations for Flowers' ability to gain yards and make plays after the catch.
CB Penn State's Joey Porter Jr.: Porter is typically projected to go before pick No. 25, but there are some scenarios in which he ends up going to the Giants. Although he might not be their first choice for the job, it appears within
