NY Giants NFL draft picks 2025: Live round-by-round selections
EAST RUTHERFORD - One of the few benefits of a 3-win season - perhaps the only one - is not having to wait long on NFL Draft Night to be on the clock for a team's first selection.
The Giants certainly will not be sitting around doing nothing when the festivities kick off at 8 p.m. Thursday night at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are certainly facing a complicated situation heading into their fourth draft together, but when it comes to their first pick - No. 3 overall - the reality appears simple, relatively speaking.

Still, there's little doubt that what the Giants do over the course of the rest of the draft will shape the future of the franchise, good or bad. The expectation is, provided the first two picks go chalk with the Titans taking Miami quarterback Cam Ward and the Browns selecting Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, that the Giants will choose Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3.
Even Carter - a Philadelphia Eagles fan all his life - indicated Wednesday that he was anticipating a new home in the Big Apple, not to mention a change in his loyalty.
"Once I go to New York, I'm all New York," Carter told Bruce Beck of WNBC 4 New York at a Play 60 event in Green Bay. "I'm gonna have to leave Philly behind.'

Giants rally again to beat lowly Rockies 10-7 for 7th straight win
DENVER (AP) — Mike Yastrzemski's two-run double in the eighth inning keyed another San Francisco rally, and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7 on Wednesday night for their seventh straight victory. Willy Adames homered and drove in three early runs for the Giants, but they trailed 6-3 entering the eighth before coming back against reliever Tyler Kinley (0-3). Adames, Heliot Ramos and Dominic Smith singled to load the bases with one out, and Casey Schmitt walked to bring in a run. Yastrzemski then lined a double off the right-center wall to tie it. Tyler Fitzgerald laid down a bunt against Zach Agnos, and Schmitt slid around the tag of catcher Hunter Goodman with the go-ahead run. Schmitt was initially ruled out but the call was overturned following a replay review. San Francisco added three insurance runs in the ninth on Wilmer Flores' sacrifice fly, and RBI singles by Schmitt and Yastrzemski. Goodman hit his 11th homer in the bottom half and the Rockies had two runners on when Orlando Arcia grounded back to closer Camilo Doval for the final out. Tristan Beck (1-0) tossed three innings of relief for the win. ___ AP MLB:

Victor Cruz delivers bold prediction for Giants in 2025: ‘We have a good team'
Victor Cruz stood in the middle of Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J., on Wednesday with the Manhattan skyline in the background. On the 84-degree day, the former Giants wide receiver and Super Bowl winner was hard pressed to miss throwing on the pads and helmet for mini camp. 'I'm out here in this heat in the suit, and I don't miss it. Let alone being out there with half pads and shorts,' Cruz said. The Super Bowl champion was on hand for an event celebrating the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup, but naturally, the conversation eventually turned to the Giants with minicamp starting next week. Though Cruz doesn't miss having to sweat in the burning New Jersey sun, he did get a sense of nostalgia after a recent visit to the Giants' facility in East Rutherford. 'I started to get the bug back. I started stretching. I was like, hold on, Vic, what are you doing?' Cruz said. 'But being back there and missing the guys and being in the locker room and just having that energy back a little bit. It's a little nostalgic for me.' Cruz won't be suiting up anytime soon, but the former star wide receiver was somewhat optimistic about the Giants' fortunes going into 2025, predicting that Big Blue would be above .500 this upcoming season. 3 Victor Cruz discussed the Giants on Wednesday. NYPostSports/Instagram 'I think we have a good team. I think for the first time, [head coach Brian Daboll] has a team in a draft that you could feel he wrapped his arms around. These are his guys and we'll see how he develops them and, and get them ready to play.' The Giants took edge rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick and traded back into the first round to select quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25. Cruz liked the idea of Dart being able to learn from both veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, describing the former as the 'ultimate pro's pro' and the latter as having a 'gunslinger sort of mentality.' 3 Victor Cruz makes a catch for the Giants in 2011. Paul J. Bereswill for The New Yo 'I think Jaxson could learn some things for both of those things,' Cruz said. Cruz emceed the 2026 World Cup event, with a number of local sports stars and politicians on hand, to mark the impending global soccer tournament, which will feature eight World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium, including the final. 3 Jaxson Dart throws a pass during the Giants' rookie mincamp on May 10, 2025. Robert Sabo for NY Post Liberty State Park will also serve as the official site of the FIFA Fan Festival New York New Jersey. And Cruz expected the festivities to be 'iconic. 'I've obviously played in some big games, some big moments. But this is another level. We're talking about the biggest sporting event in the world coming to the New York-New Jersey region,' he said. 'And this very park will be the place in the country where fans can catch every single one of the 104 matches – right here on these grounds, with views of the Statue of Liberty, and all the vibes that are happening. It's going to be incredible. It's going to be iconic.'

Giants place Patrick Bailey on injured list. Logan Porter gets ready for his 1st MLB game since 2023
DENVER (AP) — Logan Porter battled traffic and airport security to get to Denver, and now the San Francisco Giants catcher is ready for his first big league game since 2023. San Francisco Giants placed Patrick Bailey on the 10-day injured list with a strained neck on Wednesday and selected the contract of Porter from Triple-A Sacramento. Porter had to scramble to get from Seattle on Wednesday morning but arrived in time for batting practice at Coors Field before Wednesday night's game against the Colorado Rockies. 'Almost missed the flight, a lot of traffic,' Porter said. 'I think I was the last one on the flight and security took an hour and half. It was a mess. 'A little overwhelming. I was like, 'All right, if I don't make it, this is going to be interesting.' But we made it.' Bailey, whose trip to the IL is retroactive to Sunday, is batting .185 with one homer and 16 RBIs this season. The Giants hoped he would be OK to back up Andrew Knizner during the series at Colorado but he didn't improve. 'It's really hard to not have a second catcher and he just didn't get that much better (Wednesday),' manager Bob Melvin said. 'Didn't feel like were in position to try to push it to (Thursday). The prudent thing to do was to IL him right now." Bailey is the second Giants player to hit the injured list this week. Third baseman Matt Chapman was placed on the IL with a sprained right hand, suffered in Sunday's win over Atlanta. 'It seems like it comes in waves,' Melvin said. 'Everybody goes through it. Expectation doesn't change. Logan knows our guys, knows all the signs, so it's a good fit as well.' Porter last played in the majors with the Kansas City Royals in 2023. He hit .194 over 11 games with one homer. He signed a minor league contract with San Francisco on Nov. 14, 2024, and was with the team during spring training. Melvin said Porter will likely be behind the plate Thursday when Hayden Birdsong is on the mound. Porter caught the starters and relievers during the Cactus League and feels comfortable with them at the major league level. 'It should just be easy transition, and I'm familiar with the bullpen,' he said. The team also designated infielder Osleivis Basabe for assignment. He was batting .242 with four homers with Sacramento. Basabe's contract was purchased by the Giants from Tampa Bay in February.
