Four QBs Come off the Board in first round, including Jalen Milroe to NFC contender..
In a historic 2025 NFL Draft, four quarterbacks were selected in the first round, marking a new era for the league. Among them, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe was chosen by the NFC contender New York Giants, signaling a significant shift in the team’s quarterback strategy.
Milroe, known for his dynamic dual-threat capabilities, impressed scouts with his performance during the 2024 college football season. His selection by the Giants comes amid speculation that the team is seeking a new direction at the quarterback position, moving away from Daniel Jones, who has shown inconsistent development since being drafted in 2019. Reports suggest that Giants head coach Brian Daboll views Milroe as a potential fit for his offensive system, which emphasizes mobility and playmaking ability.
The first round also saw other notable quarterback selections:
-
Cam Ward, Miami – Selected by the Tennessee Titans at No. 1 overall.
-
Shedeur Sanders, Colorado – Picked by the Cleveland Browns at No. 2.
-
Kyle McCord, Syracuse – Chosen by the New York Giants at No. 3.
These selections reflect a growing trend in the NFL to prioritize young, versatile quarterbacks capable of adapting to modern offensive schemes. As Milroe prepares to join the Giants, all eyes will be on how he develops under Daboll’s guidance and whether he can lead the team back to prominence in the NFC East.
