Send us a text

In this action-packed episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob break down the best EDGE rushers in the 2025 NFL Draft and how they might fit with the New York Giants. With Big Blue continuing to build their defense around Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, adding more pass rush talent could be a major priority. This episode delivers a deep dive into some of the top names at defensive end and outside linebacker that fans should keep a close eye on as the draft approaches.

Drew and Rob analyze a wide range of prospects, including top-tier talents like Abdul Carter from Penn State, who made a massive impact after switching from linebacker and boasts elite production, explosiveness, and versatility—despite some off-field and injury concerns. They also look at Tennessee’s James Pearce Jr., a long and athletic edge rusher with huge upside but a need to develop strength and sack-finishing ability.

Other potential Giants targets include Georgia’s Mykel Williams, a physical and athletic force with raw pass-rushing technique, and Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M, a physically gifted player who’s been underwhelming in terms of sack production. Rob and Drew weigh in on Mike Green out of Marshall, who led the country in sacks and showed out at the Senior Bowl, but faces the classic small-school question—can he do it against NFL linemen?

The duo runs through nearly 20 prospects, including under-the-radar risers like Donovan Ezeiruaku from Boston College and Princely Umanmielen from Ole Miss, known for athleticism and high motors but also flaws like inconsistent run defense or strength issues. Listeners will also learn about players like JT Tuimoloau of Ohio State, Landon Jackson of Arkansas, and Jared Ivey of Ole Miss, all of whom offer specific traits that could appeal to a Giants front office looking to add rotational depth or find future starters.

As Drew and Rob evaluate each player, they talk about how these EDGE defenders might fit into the current Giants defensive scheme and the long-term vision of Joe Schoen and Wink Martindale. Could one of these guys be lining up next to Brian Burns by 2026? Could the Giants use one of their premium picks on a pass rusher, or will they look for value in the middle rounds?

This is a must-watch for any fan who wants to understand the full landscape of EDGE rushers in the upcoming draft and how it ties into the future of the Giants defense. Packed with stats, analysis, and a few laughs along the way, this episode delivers everything you need to know about the names t
