04/04/25 • 59 min

In this full episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob take Giants fans deep into early 2025 NFL Draft scouting as they evaluate five more wide receivers and five top center prospects the New York Giants could target. With Big Blue still looking to build a stronger offense for the future, this episode focuses on players who could fit the needs of the Giants heading into next season. Whether you’re a draft junkie or just getting started, this scouting breakdown covers some of the most intriguing prospects that fans should know about as we approach draft season.
At wide receiver, the hosts discuss Stanford’s Elic Ayomanor, an explosive pass catcher with a strong build and a knack for contested catches despite some drop concerns and a limited route tree. Oregon’s Tez Johnson is described as electric, twitchy, and a true YAC threat, but his small frame and lack of deep-threat production raise questions. TCU’s Savion Williams brings size and athleticism at 6’5”, with raw potential and red-zone upside, but inconsistent hands and blocking issues. Miami’s Xavier Restrepo is highlighted as a record-setting receiver and high-IQ route technician with two straight 1,000-yard seasons, although his poor 40-yard dash and small size might scare some teams off. Finally, Isaiah Bond, now at Texas after transferring from Alabama, offers elite speed and dynamic playmaking ability, but his hands and physicality remain concerns.
Then, the focus shifts to the top center prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft. Georgia’s Jared Wilson is identified as a rising prospect with great quickness and punch, though limited starting experience may impact his draft position. USC’s Jonah Monheim shows off strong versatility, having played across the offensive line, but remains raw as a true center. Texas’ Jake Majors brings solid run-blocking and pass-protection instincts, but questions linger about his strength and ability to hold blocks consistently. Ohio State’s Seth McLaughlin is known for strong hands and size, but persistent snap issues from his Alabama days could haunt his stock. Lastly, Boston College’s Drew Kendall, son of former NFL lineman Pete Kendall, flashes intelligence and mobility but lacks size and strength against top-tier competition.
Throughout the episode, Drew and Rob provide detailed insight into where these prospects may land in the upcoming draft, projecting most of them as Day 2 or Day 3 picks. For fans of the Giants looking to get a leg up on the 2025 draft class, this episode is a must-watch. Whether you're eyeing future weapons for the Giants' quarterback or key pieces to solidify the interior offensive line, this breakdown delivers an early look at the names every New York Giants fan should keep on their radar.

Giants Moving Away from QB at 3? Trade Rumors, Neal’s Position Switch & More!

The New York Giants' offseason plans might be shifting in a surprising direction. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Giants are starting to look elsewhere with their No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. With growing speculation that they have their sights set on an elite non-QB prospect.
Meanwhile, ESPN has floated the idea of the Giants trading down from No. 3. A proposed trade with the Carolina Panthers would send the No. 3 pick and a 2026 fifth-rounder to Carolina in exchange for the No. 8 pick, a second-round pick this year (No. 57), and a 2026 second-round pick. This trade scenario becomes even more interesting if Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are already off the board by the time the Giants pick, suggesting the team may prioritize adding multiple assets instead of taking a quarterback early.
In roster news, the Giants have re-signed linebacker Ty Summers. At 6'1" and 241 pounds, the 29-year-old played in all 16 games last season, recording 29 tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass deflection. His PFF grades were mixed, with a strong 78.3 run defense grade but weaker marks in coverage and pass rushing. Summers played 112 defensive snaps and was a key contributor on special teams with 272 snaps.
Evan Neal’s future along the Giants' offensive line remains uncertain, but GM Joe Schoen revealed that Neal is now open to the idea of moving to guard. This is a stark contrast from his strong stance in 2023 when he insisted he was an offensive tackle from birth. While Schoen did not commit to a positional switch, he emphasized that Neal is willing to do whatever it takes to help the team.
Another looming decision for the Giants revolves around play-calling duties. Head coach Brian Daboll has not yet determined whether he will continue calling plays in 2024. NY Post’s Paul Schwartz reported that Daboll plans to evaluate the situation through spring and summer before making a final call. Co-owner John Mara previously questioned whether Daboll should relinquish play-calling duties, stating that while he wouldn’t demand a change, it’s a discussion that will continue. Ultimately, the choice remains in Daboll’s hands, and it could have a major impact on the Giants' offensive performance next season.
The Giants also have several former players currently competing in the UFL, which kicked off its season on Friday. The Arlington Renegades feature former Giants S Joe Powell and LB Tuzar Skipper. The Birmingham Stallions have multiple ex-Giants, including LB Tae Crowder and QB Case Cookus, while the D.C. Defenders boast former first-round CB Deandre Baker. Other familiar faces like Corn Elder, Deon Jackson, Quincy Roche, and Jashaun Corbin are also in the league, along with former Giants coaches like Mike Nolan and Marc Colombo.
With the NFL Draft approaching, trade rumors swirling, and key roster decisions still to be made, the Giants are entering a pivotal stretch. Will they surprise everyone by passing on a quarterback at No. 3? Will Evan Neal shift to guard? And will Brian Daboll hold onto play-calling duties? Drew and Rob break down all these storylines and more in this latest episode of

In this full episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob dive headfirst into the trenches with a detailed breakdown of the top 15 offensive tackle prospects entering the 2025 NFL Draft. With the New York Giants continuing to build through the draft and offensive line remaining a key concern, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the prospects who could become foundational pieces for Big Blue or impact the league at large. Whether you're a diehard Giants fan, a draft enthusiast, or simply love trench warfare in football, this episode has something for you.
The duo starts with Armand Membou of Missouri, an agile and athletic tackle who played nearly every snap at right tackle, showcasing his All-SEC talent despite some concerns with long-arm rushers. Kelvin Banks Jr. from Texas is another standout, a three-year starter with an impressive trophy case and consistent performance at left tackle. LSU’s Will Campbell brings SEC grit, smart play, and next-level footwork, although his shorter arms might translate better to guard in the pros.
Josh Simmons, a top-tier pass protector from Ohio State, has raw potential with elite upside, while Grey Zabel out of South Dakota State demonstrates remarkable positional versatility across the line. Minnesota's Aireontae Ersery, another three-year starter, boasts elite strength and arm length, standing tall as a first-round-worthy left tackle.
Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. impresses with his athleticism and background as a former running back, though scouts note balance issues. Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson stepped in at left tackle after Simmons’ injury but might project better as a guard due to athletic limitations in space. Meanwhile, Wyatt Milum of West Virginia brings the lunch-pail mentality with four years of LT experience and a dominant 2024 season.
The analysis continues with Jonah Savaiinaea from Arizona, a big-bodied lineman who may move inside, and Marcus Mbow of Purdue, a powerful presence with aggressive hands but room to grow against stutter-step pass rushers. Texas’s Cameron Williams has the raw tools and strength but struggles with speed and technique.
Boston College’s Ozzy Trapilo, a massive 6’8” presence, displays football IQ and fiery play, but must improve pad level and hand placement. William & Mary’s Charles Grant could be this year's sleeper, showcasing NFL-level traits despite a small school résumé. Lastly, Anthony Belton from NC State has the size and physicality but must overcome footwork issues and character concerns after a controversial on-field incident.
This deep-dive episode is packed with scouting insights, positional fit discussion, and potential draft positioning. Whether the Giants are targeting a day-one starter or looking for value on day two or three, this offensive tackle class presents a variety of options.
