The New York Giants and New York Jets hold the No. 3 and No. 7 picks in the draft, respectively, and are both in need of a quarterback. Ward is projected to be one of the top two quarterbacks taken in the 2025 draft— and potentially even the No. 1 pick.

With him now out, the Giants' options have become more limited, so that's why in a mock draft done by Kyle Stackpole of CBS Sports, he predicts New York will trade up from No. 3 to No. 1 in order to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward.

With Matthew Stafford staying in LA, the Giants are pivoting to Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback of choice this offseason.
