Imagine the New York Giants’ war room right now: whiteboards covered in names, coffee cups piled high, and a giant question mark hovering over the No. 3 pick. GM Joe Schoen dropped hints this week that could either calm nerves or send Big Blue fans into a spiral. Let’s just say the draft drama is hotter than a summer subway platform.

On Tuesday at the Senior Bowl, Schoen spoke to the Giants’ website. “We’re going to be open to anything… We know we’re going to get a good player [at No. 3]. Regardless of what happens the next couple of months, we know there’s going to be a really good player there.” Translation? The Giants might miss out on top QB prospects Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward if Tennessee and Cleveland snag them first. But who is Schoen betting for then?

With the Titans (No. 1) and Browns (No. 2) also QB-hungry, Schoen’s backup plan could involve Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter or Colorado’s do-it-all Heisman winner Travis Hunter. But for fans dreaming of a franchise QB, this feels like déjà vu after years of middling offenses.

The problem isn’t just draft math—it’s risk vs. reward. Sanders transformed Colorado from 4-8 to 9-4 in 2024. Besides, he boasts a 74% completion rate and a knack for avoiding turnovers. His pitch to teams? “I’m the most guaranteed risk you can take,” he told ESPN. Meanwhile, Ward’s dual-threat explosiveness makes scouts drool, but his rawness raises eyebrows. If both vanish before pick No. 3, Schoen’s good player might not fix New York’s QB curse. Cue the panic. Enter Travis Hunter.

The two-way star could fill gaping holes at cornerback and receiver for the Giants. Pairing Hunter with Malik Nabers would give QB Tommy DeVito—or a 2026 rookie—a lethal weapon. But fans aren’t buying bandaids. Does passing on a quarterback spell disaster for New York?

Schoen’s job security adds pressure. After a 3-14 season, his draft pick must deliver immediately. But if he whiffs on QB, Hunter or Carter could still anchor a rebuild. But the Sanders-Ward debate isn’t just in draft rooms—it’s raging on social media.

Sanders or Ward? Giants fans battle over future QB

“Big boy…. pick one,” a fan was asked to choose between Sanders and Ward at an event. That too, while both were present. Perplexed, he said, “Whichever one for.” But Cam built the pressure. “Pick one. Say I put this one in… we’re both down,” Cam urged. His pick?

He picked Ward. “You both down? I’m taking Cam,” he said after contemplation. The clip went viral, with replies split. One fan cheered, “YESSIR.” One X user blasted, “Ward will be better than Sanders that’s why.” Meanwhile, another fired back.

“Give me Sanders,” he said. Even Shedeur Sanders’ confidence became fuel. “Sanders going to use this as motivation for sure,” a fan predicted. One fan joked, “Smart Giants fan” for choosing Ward. But will “smart” equal survival in the NFC East gauntlet?

Meanwhile, another argued, “Am I the only one who would take sanders? better fundamentals, better accuracy, already knows how to handle being in the spotlight and we all know that the New York market will mentally drain you.” But this isn’t just about arm talent.

Shedeur Sanders’s pedigree—turning around Jackson State and Colorado—resonates with fans craving leadership. Meanwhile, Ward’s highlight reel plays scream upside. Both QBs offer hope for a Giants team lacking star power. Yet Schoen’s history complicates things. Letting Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney walk haunts the fanbase, and trust is thin.

If Schoen repeats this approach with free agents like Darius Slayton or Azeez Ojulari, fans might revolt. But for now, all eyes are on April. Will Schoen gamble on a QB or play it safe? However it shakes out, Giants fans are ready to roar—or riot. As one X user put it, “Love that 😂😂”. At least the drama’s entertaining.
