Travis Hunter, Colorado's versatile player and Heisman Trophy winner, is a popular prediction for the New York Giants' third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, according to mock draft experts. The Tennessee Titans are expected to choose Miami quarterback Cam Ward as the first overall selection, while the Cleveland Browns, holding the second pick, have various options including selecting Hunter or Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter.
Pro Football Focus's mock draft simulator suggests that the Giants are likely to pick Hunter due to his exceptional talent as a cornerback with elite ball skills and starting potential. With the recent addition of Paulson Adebo to their secondary, the Giants could see Hunter as a valuable asset to potentially improve their defensive lineup, especially considering the inconsistency of former first-round pick Deonte Banks.
