When the New York Giants were on track to pick first in the 2025 NFL Draft, their future was clear. They would draft the best available quarterback — Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, Miami’s Cam Ward or perhaps someone else — and build around him.

The Indianapolis Colts visit the New York Giants in NFL Week 17 action. The Colts (7-8) remain in the AFC playoff hunt while the Giants (2-13) have lost a franchise-record 10 straight games and currently hold the No.

Thanks to their win over the Indianapolis Colts, combined with the losses by New England, Tennessee, and Cleveland, the Giants slipped from first to fourth in the 2025 draft order.
