In this packed episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob break down everything you need to know about how the 2025 NFL Draft unfolded for the rest of the NFC East — and what it all means for the New York Giants moving forward. As the Giants aim to climb back to the top of the division, it's crucial to understand how the Cowboys, Eagles, and Commanders used their draft picks to reload and reshape their rosters.

The Eagles added explosiveness and versatility on defense starting with Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell, a fast, instinctive playmaker with first-round athleticism. They followed that with safety Andrew Mukuba from Texas, a ballhawk who led the SEC in interceptions but comes with durability questions. Philadelphia kept investing in defense and depth, including standout pass rusher Antwaun Powell-Ryland and versatile linemen like Ty Robinson and Drew Kendall. But with most picks coming on Day 3, the question remains: Did the Eagles add enough impact talent to maintain their edge over the Giants?

Over in Washington, the Commanders focused on trench strength and secondary playmakers. Their top pick, Josh Conerly Jr. from Oregon, brings high-level athleticism and All-American pedigree to a depleted offensive line. They also grabbed standout corner Trey Amos from Ole Miss, a ballhawk with press coverage skills but tackling issues. WR Jaylin Lane and LB Kain Medrano highlight Day 3’s potential gems — both versatile, both capable of contributing right away on special teams. Could these mid-round pickups bolster a Commanders team that’s been rebuilding for years and now threatens to outpace the Giants?

Meanwhile, the Cowboys stuck to a familiar script: building up front and going for defensive upside. Tyler Booker, a mauling guard from Alabama, was their top pick and should help stabilize their interior offensive line. Boston College edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku brings elite production and pass-rushing technique but needs to add strength. They rounded things out with long, physical CB Shavon Revel Jr., who’s recovering from an ACL tear but could become a steal if healthy. With these pieces, Dallas may have just gotten tougher in the trenches and deeper in the secondary — a concern for any Giants fan hoping for a clean sweep of the rivalry in 2025.

Throughout the episode, Drew and Rob analyze each draft class with sharp detail and compare how each rival’s additions match up against Big Blue’s current roster. They look at how the Giants can scheme against these new threats and where Schoen and Daboll
