Following the 2025 NFL draft, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen acknowledged that he commiserated during the fourth round over who to select: Running back Sam Skattebo or offensive lineman Marcus Mbow.

His seven-pick class potentially provides solutions for the immediate future and the long-term of the franchise. But not everyone came away from the draft in a good position.
