Tiki Barber Drops Bombshell: Why the Giants Won't Be Eyeing a New QB in the Draft

Have you ever felt like the New York Giants are caught in a never-ending quarterback conundrum? Picture this: a team, once led by the legendary Eli Manning, now finds itself in a curious bind, pondering if drafting another QB is like adding too many cooks in the kitchen.

There’s been buzz, murmurs, and outright chatter about whether the Giants, despite adding veteran arms like Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson this offseason, would look to draft a potential star like Shedeur Sanders with the No. 3 pick in next year’s NFL Draft. However, it seems like the current QB room might just be too full, even for a quarterback as tempting as Sanders.

I, for one, have seen this before in my SEO journeys in sports. Sometimes, you’ve got to play the cards you’re dealt and trust the process, which is exactly what New York’s GM Joe Schoen and former Giants running back Tiki Barber seem to be suggesting:

“I think he’s saying the truth, which is, ‘We’re good enough to win right now, so why QB hunt?'” Barber mused on WFAN Sports Radio.

Curiouser and curiouser, isn’t it? With the likes of Russell Wilson, fresh off aiding the Pittsburgh Steelers in clinching a playoff spot, potentially donning the blue and white, does the Giants’ future really lie in another draft gamble? Or could they perhaps look to a less heralded option in the late rounds? Imagine a scenario where Jalen Milroe, Quinn Ewers, or Jaxson Dart could be the hidden gems the Giants scout, all before they even select their preferred man.

So, Giants fans, what’s your take? Is the team set to win now or will they risk trading up for that ‘maybe’ in the draft? It’s like playing chess, where every move counts, and as the rest of the fanbase and I keep a close eye on the playing field. Let’s take this moment to chuckle, ponder but also brace ourselves for the unexpected, for that’s the thrill (and sometimes, agony) of being an NFL fan!

There has been plenty of talk that the New York Giants could end up selecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, even though they signed two veteran quarterbacks this offseason.

The Giants added Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, which makes it seem as if their quarterback room is too crowded to accommodate Sanders, who may have star potential.

New York general manager Joe Schoen recently said the team doesn’t have to draft a quarterback this year, and former Giants running back Tiki Barber seems to agree.

“I think he’s saying the truth, which is, ‘We’re good enough to win right now, so we don’t have to draft a QB,’” Barber said, via WFAN Sports Radio.

Tiki believes Joe Schoen is implying that they feel good about the current QB room, and likely won't be drafting one.

Many people expect Wilson, who helped the Pittsburgh Steelers reach the playoffs last season, to be New York’s starter, although one could argue that Winston would be a legitimate option in his own right.

The team clearly needs a young quarterback to build around, especially because it hasn’t had a true franchise QB since Eli Manning retired.

One possible option for New York is to select a second-tier QB such as Jalen Milroe, Quinn Ewers or Jaxson Dart a little later in the draft.

If one of them could be taken before the No. 34 overall pick in the second round, there is always the chance the Giants could trade up a bit to get their man.
