New York Post

23-04-2025

High intrigue and drama surrounding the Giants with the third pick, as well as how far down might Shedeur Sanders slide?
Two trades in the Serby Mock 4.0, one engineered by Giants GM Joe Schoen to secure his Quarterback of the Future after landing edge Abdul Carter with the third pick of Thursday night's NFL draft.
The new Jets regime adds a right tackle to complete what it expects to be a dynamic offensive line.
1. Titans
Cam Ward, QB, Miami (Fla.)
No, he's not a generational talent, but new GM Mike Borgonzi and HC Brian Callahan want better than Will Levis.
2. Browns
Travis Hunter, Unicorn (CB/WR), Colorado
A WR bookend to Jerry Jeudy and third-down assistance for Denzel Ward. Shohei Two-Way.
3. Giants
Abdul Carter, DE, Penn State
A Fearsome Foursome for Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott to ponder.

An uber-athletic RT bookend for Kolton Miller for HC Pete Carroll.
7. Jets
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
High-character bookend for LT Olu Fashanu to help Justin Fields execute Aaron Glenn's punishing Ground & Pound.
8. Panthers
Jalon Walker, edge, Georgia
Dynamic undersized heat-seeking missile to help sad sack pass rush.
9. Saints
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
In no universe would new HC Kellen Moore not be interested in a Gronkish weapon for either Derek Carr or Spencer Rattler.
10. Jaguars (from Bears)
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
New head coach Liam Coen turns to a 6-4 target opposite Brian Thomas Jr. to elevate Trevor Lawrence.
11. 49ers

13. Dolphins
Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Jalen Ramsey is trade bait and is replaced by a versatile stud who can play on the outside or as the nickel.
14. Colts
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
A 6-5, 245-pound receiving target for Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.
15. Falcons
Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia
A 6-5, 265-pound run stuffer with upside who will appeal to DC Jeff Ulbrich as HC Raheem Morris needs better than last season's 31 sacks.
16. Cardinals
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Ahead of schedule following knee surgery, and guess who coached him and LT Paris Johnson when they were Buckeyes? New OL coach Justin Frye, that's who.
17. Bengals
Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M
A 6-5, 267-pound athletic freak as disgruntled sack champion Trey Hendrickson could be traded, much to Joe Burrow's chagrin.
18. Seahawks
Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State
GM John Schneider would love this 6-6, 304-pounder who can play all across the OL, making life easier on Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker III.

A sideline-to-sideline 2026 replacement for Lavonte David, who can also rush the passer for Todd Bowles.
20. Broncos
TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
If the comp truly is Alvin Kamara, he's a fit for Sean Payton.
21. Steelers
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Good move not opting for the Green Bay Green Room with Mike Tomlin still held hostage by Aaron Rodgers.
22. Steelers
Kenneth Grant, NT, Michigan
Jim Harbaugh loves him some Michigan Men and loves him some trench warfare.
23. Packers
Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Could fall because of long-term knee concerns, but GM Brian Gutekunst might want to sign off on a big corner with instincts to replace Jaire Alexander.
24. Giants (from Vikings)
Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Joe Schoen takes his swing on a Quarterback of the Future. Eli Manning is a fan. And vice versa.
