“Bittersweet news to share: I was affected by Microsoft’s recent round of layoffs,” Gabriela de Queiroz posted.

Her LinkedIn profile states she came on board at Microsoft in 2022 as a “Principal Cloud Advocate” and worked for eight months before taking on the “Director of AI – Microsoft for Startups” position in 2023.

In a post on the same thread, Queiroz explained that she is sad to see “so many talented people I’ve had the honor of working with being let go.”

She added, “These are people who cared deeply, went above and beyond, and truly made a difference.”

How was she fired from Microsoft?

“We were told to stop work instantly and put on an out-of-office. I decided to remain a bit longer—attending meetings, farewell, completing the things I could.

She went on to say, “I’m an optimist at heart. That hasn’t changed. My smile, my gratitude, my belief that each day is a gift—that’s all still here.”
She ended her post with a message for those impacted by the layoffs:

“To those also impacted—you’re not alone. We are at least 6,000.”

That sounded appropriate to me,” she added.

How did people respond on social media?

Someone wrote, “Sorry to hear this, but I know something even better is in store. You’re destined for great things!” Someone else chimed in, “I’m sorry. I wasn’t affected, but I lost a lot of close individuals I’ve worked with for years. It was a tough day for sure. Good luck to you.”

A third added, “Looks like a lot of old timers are affected.” A fourth stated, “If the Director of AI at Msft can be let go, then nobody’s safe in today’s market.”

“We continue to make organizational changes needed to best position the company for success in an evolving marketplace,” a Microsoft representative said, as reported by CNBC.

As per the outlet, by the end of June 2024, the company had 228,000 employees worldwide.

Microsoft on Tuesday announced that it’s cutting 3% of workers at all levels, teams and geographies, impacting around 6,000 individuals.

“We are continuing to make organizational adjustments needed to position the company for success in a changing marketplace,” a Microsoft representative stated

The company posted stronger-than-expected results, with $25.8 billion of quarterly net income, and an optimistic outlook in late April.

Microsoft employed 228,000 people globally at the close of June.

Tuesday Washington state announced the company was cutting headcount associated with its Redmond headquarters by 1,985 individuals, with 1,510 based in office.

Overall, it’s probably Microsoft’s biggest round of layoffs since the removal of 10,000 jobs in 2023.

In January, the company revealed a small round of performance-based layoffs. The new job cuts are not performance-based, the spokesperson explained.

Last week cybersecurity software company CrowdStrike
declared that it would dismiss 5% of its staff.

During January, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella informed analysts that the business would institute changes to sales execution after the firm posted less than expected growth on Azure cloud sales not based on artificial intelligence. AI cloud expansion outpaced expectations within the business.

How do you actually adjust the incentives, go-to-market?”

Nadella asked. “During a time of platform change, you sort of want to make sure you lean into even the new design wins, and you just don’t continue to do the things that you did in the last generation.”

Tech’s robust ad sales are beginning to crack under Trump’s trade war
One goal is to eliminate layers of management, the spokesperson added.

In January Amazon said it was eliminating some staff after observing “unnecessary layers” in its structure.

Microsoft shares closed on Monday at $449.26, the highest this year. They closed at an all-time high of $467.56 last July.

‘Forever’ is a poignant look at the power — and dangers — of first love
The Netflix adaptation of a 1975 Judy Blume novel reminds us that some things never change.

Lovie Simone as Keisha Clark and Michael Cooper Jr. as Justin Edwards.

The romance that forms the core of Netflix’s new series “Forever” starts off just like Judy Blume’s 1975 novel, which inspired the show: at a New Year’s Eve party around fondue pots.

If Blume’s “Forever.” was revolutionary because it portrayed a young white woman’s sexual desire and unselfconscious pleasure, then Akil’s “Forever” is revolutionary for its portrayal of a young Black man’s vulnerability and considered choices regarding sex and love.

Met Gala 2025

Related to us by high school senior Katherine’s own voice, Blume’s “Forever…” is a classic and honest discussion of teen sex and first love.

Since the original publication during the 1970s, parents have had an uproar about the book and have tried to get it pulled from libraries.

I finally read “Forever…” for the first time way too late in my life — October of last year, after Blume, one of my white whale interviews, finally agreed to participate in the Velshi Banned Book Club. I was sure I would love the book — and I did. But I didn’t think it would feel so revolutionary.

Rather than in a New Jersey suburb, the series takes place during the Black Lives Matter movement in Los Angeles.

Consequently, cellphones are a beautifully realized extension of our teen characters and their lives.

The series, shifting between Keisha’s and Michael’s perspectives, has inverted Blume’s characters: It is Justin who is inexperienced sexually, deciding if he is or isn’t.

If Blume’s “Forever.” was revolutionary in that it portrayed a white, young woman’s sexual desire and unapologetic pleasure, then Akil’s “Forever” is revolutionary in its portrayal of a Black, young man’s vulnerability and thoughtful choices around sex and love.

Keisha’s attitude toward sex is complicated. On their first date, she is uninhibited and willing to experiment with Justin. But in the following scene, we find out that Keisha’s ex-boyfriend, a golden boy by the name of Christian with seeming NBA potential, recorded a pornographic video of the two of them and posted it on the Internet. Later, on FaceTime, Keisha informs her best friend, the show’s sole regular white character, that she has no interest in punishing Christian and “ruin his life.” There is silence for a moment, and then her friend asks, “But Christian gets to ruin yours?

This horrifically ubiquitous act of sexual assault feels like a contemporary and required raising of the stakes.

Netflix’s “Forever,” just as sweet, poignant and truthful as the book, made some powerful updates to Blume’s material.

Most importantly, our featured couple, Keisha and Justin, are Black. Showrunner Mara Brock Akil explained to The New York Times why they did that, saying, “I would posit that Black boys are the most vulnerable at this time.

The potential ramifications of sexing up are also explained in Blume’s “Forever…” and that includes: There are warning stories, ranging from deferred dreams to slut-shaming to unplanned pregnancy. Most importantly, these ramifications don’t happen to Katherine. She is a good girl who gets sex and doesn’t lose her dignity, her self and her shining future.

Forever

50 years ago, Blume’s high school persona is celebrating the demise of something which has certainly not disappeared.

Even no generation is homogeneous, but younger people nowadays are significantly more regressive and conservative than their earlier counterparts. Gen Zers are notoriously Republican-sympathetic, they’re flocking to the Catholic Church in significant numbers, and increasing numbers of them are eschewing sex as an option.

A poll taken recently for London’s paper of record The Times reported 62% of Gen Z surveyed say they do not have one-night stands.

The frustrating and melancholic irony is that this discussion is at the heart of the sex-positive, second-wave feminism that made Blume’s “Forever…” possible in the first place.

The straw man fallacy that safety should be the responsibility of the most vulnerable is sustained by a dysfunctional patriarchal system.

Freedom and safety should not be an either-or proposition when it comes to having sex. What I like best about this tale, whether it is printed in a book or shown on your TV screen, is not its brutally candid conversation about young people and sex.

It is the way it accepts the heavy seriousness of that and yet maintains the innocent exhilaration of first love. There is danger and excitement and risk and reward in falling in love and in making love.

For the fortunate, that first love is a lovely aspect of life, perhaps the loveliest aspect of life. Being young and in love is one of the strongest forces on the planet.

Lovie Simone as Keisha Clark and Michael Cooper Jr. as Justin Edwards.
Lovie Simone as Keisha Clark and Michael Cooper Jr. as Justin Edwards in “Forever.”Netflix There is one passage a few chapters into “Forever….” where Katherine looks back on the way that the decision of a young woman to have sex defines her.

“In the old days girls were two types — those who did and those who didn’t. My mother explained it to me. Nice girls didn’t, of course.”.

They were the ones boys wanted to wed. I’m thankful those days are past but I still get annoyed at older people for thinking everyone from my generation sleeps around.”

The idea that the good girls who are virgins are the ones who marry the good husbands and have the good children and the good life is a very established sentiment.

That is not what makes this passage so appalling.
It is that 50 years ago, Blume’s high school persona is celebrating the demise of something which has certainly not disappeared.

This tale is a timely reminder of that.

It is one of the most famous moments in the whole of Star Wars.

In the 1980 movie ‘The Empire Strikes Back‘ by George Lucas, the villain Darth Vader freezes main character Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in carbonite.

As the brave space smuggler cooled, the imaginary metal solidified around him trapping him in a state of complete hibernation.

Carbonite, the made up material only featured in the Star Wars universe, is the name.

star wars a new hope

But one scientist says this is no longer science fiction.

In real life, it may be possible to freeze humans, just as Solo did, believes Dr. Alex Baker, a chemist at the University of Warwick.

He told MailOnline: ‘You could have a cool wall decoration like Han Solo, but it would be as heavy as two VW Golf cars.’

A really sturdy wall and a strong picture hook will be required.
Liquid nitrogen and solid carbon dioxide (CO2) are examples of ‘cryogens’ that people use to freeze things (like human eggs in IVF treatments) in everyday life.

Small objects can be frozen with cryogens, but a person is too large to freeze in cryogens yet.

However, Dr. Baker said, “The problem is, your body would have to freeze on the inside before you died.” ‘However, your body wouldn’t freeze evenly.’

Therefore, we must contemplate other materials that can accomplish the same thing, and one that is especially promising.

Gallium is a metal that is liquid at room temperature and solid below 29.76°C (85.57°F).

Gallium also encourages small and simple living things, such as nematode worms, to store, which is encouraging research

Dr. Baker advises to make a huge ice cube mold, about two meters long and half a meter wide, to copy the Star Wars scene using a person and gallium.

It would be big enough for a person to fit inside—probably the world’s biggest Star Wars fan willing to risk their life for the opportunity.

Instead of using water, the mold would fill slowly but gradually with gallium until the participant is fully covered and then the temperature would be lowered until it freezes (below 85.57°F or 29.76°C).
In ‘Return of the Jedi’ the temperature would have to be increased again, just as it would after the experiment ends.

As seen in the movie, Han Solo is only affected by brief side effects such as shivering and being temporarily blind when he is rescued from the carbonite.

However, unfortunately, that’s where the similarities would seem to end, because the Star Wars fan would likely not survive.

Humans are much more complicated than simple worms, therefore we would not survive the first stage of drying out, Dr Baker explained.

He said dehydration makes the worms go into suspended animation so they stop activity in all areas.
You wouldn’t be able to do this to a person without killing them because water is necessary for life and all the chemical processes which make us live.

In general, someone trapped in such a situation would quickly exhaust their air and suffocate from breathing their own carbon dioxide inside a metal box.

Less toxic than mercury, gallium’s chemical, physical and toxic effects are not completely understood.

star wars a new hope

The biotechnology company, Sigma Aldrich, states that touching gallium can leave the metallic taste in your mouth, cough, breathing troubles, headaches, feeling sick, vomiting, and skin irritation.

Associate professor of neuroscience at the University of Oxford, Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, said that new technology and drugs, as well as genetic tools, have already proved that they can assist in causing or controlling sleep.

We will probably have to learn how to make humans hibernate safely, and so we will have to study vital brain circuits and main molecules that regulate sleep.

Right now, it’s more possible that we could actually get a real working lightsaber, but this very hot and dangerous weapon is probably too dangerous for normal people to use.

The legends of the Met Gala red carpet 2025
Fashion’s biggest night is an annual event that kicks off the spring exhibit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Costume Institute.

Met Gala 2025

What people are not attending the Met Gala?

He announced on Instagram in April that he would not attend the Met Gala, a Kennedy family member, Jack Schlossberg.

In his video, the former Vogue political reporter said he feels wrong to go because of the current events in the world and in the US, referring to Anna Wintour.

Who else will be at the Met Gala?

The Met Gala’s guest list is a secret, but it usually includes a few hundred famous people like singers, actors, athletes, poets and other celebrities.

Some stars, like Rihanna, her partner A$AP Rocky, Zendaya, the Kardashians, Sarah Jessica Parker and Blake Lively, return pretty often.

If you are not personally invited to the gala, you can buy a ticket for $75,000, but Anna Wintour still has to approve the final list of guests.

Who is on the host committee this year?

Actor Colman Domingo, musicians Pharrell Williams and A$AP Rocky, the Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton will join Wintour in leading the gala.

Honorary co chair will be NBA player LeBron James.

André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jordan Casteel, Dapper Dan, Doechii, Ayo Edebiri, Edward Enninful, Jeremy O. Harris, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Rashid Johnson, Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee, Audra McDonald, Janelle Monáe, Jeremy Pope, Angel Reese, Sha’Carri Richardson, Tyla, Usher and Kara Walker are all part of the 2025 host committee.

How will celebrities select the clothes that will match the theme?

Tailored for you, the dress code is a lot of perfectly fitted men’s clothing on the famous carpeted steps at the event.

There is also a plethora of different types of suits that viewers can look forward to seeing,

such as zoot suits popularized by jazz musicians in the 1940s and bright, colorful styles worn by Congolese sapeurs, as Vogue reported.

How can I watch the Met Gala?

No phones are allowed during the gala, and the press is not allowed inside.

But the red carpet is what the event is most famous for, and you can watch it live on Vogue.com, YouTube, or E!.

Vogue’s Met Gala livestream will be hosted this year by singer and actor Teyana Taylor, actor and producer La La Anthony and ‘Saturday Night Live’ star Ego Nwodim.

Met Gala 2025

What is the theme of this year’s Met Gala?

The spring exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, which is also the theme of the 2025 Met Gala: ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.’

The money for the Costume Institute comes from the Met Gala and they have a very large collection of clothing items — some hundreds of years old.

The gala is located in the Anna Wintour Costume Center at the museum, which is named after the Vogue editor in chief who has overseen the gala since the 1990s.

According to Vogue, this year’s theme will explore how clothing styles play a role in the Black identities, with a particular emphasis on the Black dandy and the rise of its importance. It is a theme based on Monica L.

Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

“Fashion and power is connected to black style,” Miller told Vogue. “Insofar as people choose their own style, or how they dress, it depends on how much control they feel they have.”

The things that change over time are patterns, colors and shapes of clothing, and things like these are influenced by history.”

The twelve parts of ‘Superfine’ describe a feature that makes the style unique: ownership, presence, uniqueness, disguise, freedom, champion, respectability, jook, heritage, beauty, being cool, and cosmopolitanism.

Ready-made clothes were not available to Black people in the past. For that reason, Miller said the tailor was a very important person in the community.

In addition, he said the tailor also knew people’s lives because people went to the tailor for important events.

What will celebrities wear to go with the theme?

The dress code is tailored for you, so you can expect to see mostly men’s clothing that is well fitted, when you see the famous steps at the event.

Viewers can expect a variety of styles of suits from zoot suits that jazz musicians donned in the 1940s to the bright, flashy outfits worn by Congolese sapeurs, Vogue reports.

What date is the Met Gala?

The Met Gala is always held on the first Monday in May, which this year is May 5. Arriving between 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET, guests are expected but some celebrities may be later.

Met Gala 2025

Is the Met Gala held in a certain place?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is where the Met Gala is held.

The Met Gala is a huge event for celebrities and the pop culture fans, with tickets costing $75,000 and many famous guests.

It’s famous as fashion’s biggest night held every year to launch the spring exhibit at the Costume Institute in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

It’s also an exciting night for people to watch from home to see people’s bold outfits, funny celebrity moments and talk about the event with others.

The spring show at the Costume Institute is called “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” this year. It is a tribute to the fashion, culture and the story of how Black men dress. Celebrities who walk the red carpet are meant to dress according to the theme.

Like the themes themselves, how guests follow the theme can be very different from year to year.

Johnson started his career as a professional wrestler, he was known as ‘The Rock’.

The Smashing Machine has the A24 backing, and that means that Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson is putting down his fast car and singing roles to play UFC fighter Mark Kerr in the new A24 film.

In a new biopic out in theatres on October 3, the 52 year old actor, who starred in Fast & Furious and Disney’s Moana, plays the legendary wrestler.

Johnson’s role as a wrestler comes as a surprise to critics and fans, but both parties are happy to see what kind of performance Johnson will give.

Johnson has also been included in Variety’s 2026 Oscar predictions and the movie is listed for “Best Picture,” “Best Actor,” “Best Actress” and “Makeup and Hairstyling.”

who is Mark Kerr

Who is Mark Kerr?

At 56 years young, Kerr was once the UFC Heavyweight Tournament winner twice and World Vale Tudo Championship winner.

He had the nickname of ‘the Smashing Machine,’ because he fought with head butts, knee strikes to opponents on the ground and finished most fights very quickly.

Kerr was in his 12-year fighting career plagued by drug problems and the marriage to Dawn Staples was not easy. In 2002 he appears in the HBO documentary

‘The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Extreme Fighter Mark Kerr.’
Kerr stopped fighting in 2010. He posted on GoFundMe in June 2019 that he had lived with peripheral neuropathy since 2016.

This is a condition caused by nerves outside of the brain and spine being damaged, resulting in pain and numbness of different parts of the body.

There are no exact numbers as to how common peripheral neuropathy is to athletes, but it does affect people who do martial arts or wrestling.

The Smashing Machine’ Key Facts

Johnson’s role in the movie is different from his usual parts in the superhero, action, and musical flicks, where he usually plays characters somewhat similar to himself.

Last year, Johnson told Variety, “I’m at a point in my career where I want something deeper.” “I’m not talking about bigger box office numbers.”

I want stories which are more human. So that’s why I like working with Benny Safdie because he’s driven and he’s eager to work.”

Johnson was a professional wrestler like his father and grandfather before becoming a famous actor.

After that, he signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and wrestled there from 1996 to 2004. He won four WWE championships during that time but has since appeared in the ring occasionally.

Rocky Maivia, Johnson’s first name, was a combination of his father’s ‘Rocky Johnson’ and his grandfather’s ‘Prince Peter Maivia’. He changed his name later on to “the Rock.”

who is Mark Kerr

The movie was written and directed by filmmaker Safdie, which started production in 2019. Possibly most known for writing Uncut Gems (2019) with Adam Sandler and co-creating the Showtime show The Curse (2023) with Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone, Safdie is probably best known.

Johnson is also casting Emily Blunt as Staples, now Kerr’s ex wife, and beside Johnson playing Kerr, there is also Emily Blunt playing Staples.
On April 29 The Smashing Machine first trailer was released.

Both Johnson’s acting, as well as his appearance, impressed commenters.
“I barely recognized him, one person said. His change is incredible.

“I really like how gentle his voice is,” said another person. And the makeup artists were also amazing!

Kansas City Uses First-Round Pick to Boost Patrick Mahomes Protection

On the first day of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs made a daring move by selecting Josh Simmons, an offensive tackle from Ohio State, with the 32nd overall choice.

In Kansas City, where protecting the quarterback is of utmost importance, Simmons’ arrival might change everything.

Josh Simmons holding Chiefs jersey at 2025 NFL Draft

Let’s examine why this selection might be a good value as well as what Chiefs Kingdom can anticipate from its newest trench warrior.

Did a Talent from the First Round Drop to 32?

Here’s Why Josh Simmons was predicted to be selected in the top 15 before his 2024 campaign was cut short by a knee injury.

Simmons had given up just one hurry and zero sacks in 158 pass-blocking snaps prior to his collapse in Week 6. At the collegiate level, that is exceptional performance.

When Simmons was still available at No. 32, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach made a snap decision.

Veach stated, “He’s a long-term starter at left tackle if he stays healthy.”
“If not for the injury, he wouldn’t have been there.”

Simmons’ recovery has gone well, according to head coach Andy Reid, who anticipates that he will be prepared for training camp. Chiefs supporters have cause for optimism.

Being versatile is a plus.

Simmons started at right tackle for San Diego State prior to transferring to Ohio State.

Coach Reid sees him as a natural left tackle, but the Chiefs have the ability to switch him if necessary because of that experience.

Versatility like that is invaluable in the NFL nowadays, where rotations and injuries are common.

🌟 What the Professionals Say
Top draft experts gushed about Simmons’ potential:

“Excellent poise and body control—starter-level traits,” said Dane Brugler of The Athletic.

“Ten-year starter potential at left tackle,” says Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network.

“One of my favorite tackle prospects—reminds me of Terron Armstead,” said Matt Miller (ESPN).

Simmons was ranked among the top 20 overall players by both Pro Football Focus and Brugler, despite his draft decline, making this selection a tremendous bargain for KC.

Expert analysis of Josh Simmons as a first-round pick by the Chiefs

The Path Ahead: Recovery, Competition, and Defense

The Chiefs addressed a critical need right away rather than just selecting players for the future. Simmons will take the following actions:

completing treatment and getting well again

vying for an O-line starting position

become the pass protector of choice for Mahomes for many years to come

Josh Simmons might be the Chiefs’ offensive line’s mainstay for the ensuing ten years if everything goes according to plan.

Questions and Answers (FAQ)

A: Josh Simmons is an Ohio State offensive tackle who stands 6’5″ and weighs 317 pounds. In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected him with the 32nd pick.

What caused Simmons to lose the first round?
A: He missed the remainder of the season due to a knee injury sustained in October 2024, which sparked medical worries. He is anticipated to be prepared for training camp, nevertheless, as his rehabilitation has gone smoothly.

Is Simmons anticipated to make his Chiefs debut in 2025?
A: If the Chiefs consider him as a long-term fit, he will fight for a starting position, most likely at left tackle.

What aspects of Simmons’ suitability for the Chiefs are there?
A: Andy Reid’s fast-paced system and Patrick Mahomes’ protection benefit greatly from his quick feet, power, and adaptability.

What were his statistics in college?
A: In almost 600 pass-blocking snaps throughout the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Simmons gave up just two sacks.

A dismal season and a noticeable quarterback void weighed heavily on the New York Giants going into the 2025 NFL Draft.

However, that gloom may finally be dispelling when Jaxson Dart was chosen late in the first round.

A Franchise Devoid of Hope Discovers a Glimmer

At MetLife Stadium, Dart has yet to throw a pass. His Giants helmet hasn’t even been fitted yet. However, something changed when his name was called.

It now appears as though the team that stumbled to the No. 3 overall pick—not through trade, but through sheer futility—may have a plan.

Hope? In Rutherford, East? Have faith.

New York Giants Draft 2025

First Defense: Abdul Carter Becomes a Member

The Giants selected Penn State’s speedy edge rusher Abdul Carter with their first choice.

Even against the Super Bowl champion Eagles, the defensive front suddenly stacks favorably in the NFC East thanks to that change, which gives it some serious fangs.

Carter doesn’t throw touchdown passes, though, and New Yorkers are aware that defense by itself won’t stop the Giants’ quarterback woes.

Joe Schoen’s Audacious Bet on a Quarterback

GM Joe Schoen, however, wasn’t finished.

He moved strategically and quietly. In order to acquire Jaxson Dart at No. 25 overall, the Giants made a trade with the Texans to return to the first round.

The cost? A compensating third, a 2026 third, and a 2025 second-round selection.

A bargain in comparison to what the Falcons paid for a pass rusher with only one more pick, which included a future first-round pick.

The Poker Face of Daboll and Schoen’s Vision

In the closing weeks before the selection, Brian Daboll had apparently stopped talking about Dart. Dart acknowledged that he was taken aback by the quiet.

He said, “Coach used to text a lot.” “After that, he kind of vanished.”

That was intentional.

After selecting Carter, Schoen remained secretive, even sidestepping questions during a press appearance. He replied cryptically, “We’ll see,” when asked if the Giants were finished for the evening.

Now we know what he meant.

The Rams Left Reeling

It’s reasonable to assume that Dart was a target for the Los Angeles Rams. The following pick was in their possession.

The Rams promptly traded down when the Giants jumped and caught him. Is it a coincidence? Very unlikely.

The Rams were probably considering Dart as a potential replacement for Matthew Stafford, who was nearing the end of his career. Big Blue got ahead of them instead.

At Last, the Giants Have a Strategy

Schoen described it as “gratifying” but “exhausting.” Finally, Giants supporters may say the same.

In one night, a team that has struggled with a number of backup quarterbacks has both its future quarterback and a franchise edge rusher.

Even though the rebuild is still ongoing, the New York Giants have made significant progress.

Commonly Asked Questions
When will the Giants start Jaxson Dart?

A: The Giants view Dart as their future starter, even though he will initially be expected to learn from veterans.

His readiness to assume leadership will be determined by his development during preseason and training. The Big Blue View

What effect will Abdul Carter have on the defense of the Giants?

A: It is anticipated that Carter’s versatility and pass-rushing ability will improve the Giants’ defensive powers, giving their front seven a major boost. ​

In order to choose Dart, how did the Giants obtain the 25th pick?

A: In order to move up to draft Dar, the Giants gave the Houston Texans their second-round pick (No. 34), a third-round compensatory pick (No. 99), and a 2026 third-round pick.

New York Giants Draft 2025

What are the Giants expected to accomplish this season?

A: The Giants want to improve on their 3-14 season with the arrival of Carter and Dart. These choices are steps toward long-term competitiveness, even when instant success may be lofty.

Introduction: Big Blue’s Franchise-Defining Night

The New York Giants made waves during the 2025 NFL Draft with a daring move that could change the franchise’s destiny. Instead of selecting a quarterback early, they used the third overall pick to acquire Abdul Carter of Penn State, who is perhaps the most dynamic defense in the class.

New York Giants Draft 2025

They acquired Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25 later that evening in a well-thought-out deal with the Houston Texans, providing the franchise with a possible future star at the most crucial position in football.

This year, general manager Joe Schoen may have given Giants fans what they’ve long hoped for: a draft haul that offers both short-term impact and long-term promise.

Overview of the Giants’ 2025 First-Round Draft Selections

Pick 3 in Round 1: Abdul Carter, Penn State, EDGE
Round 1, Pick 25 (via Houston): Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart

The remaining selections:

Round 3: No. 65

Round 4: Position 105

Round 5: Seattle’s No. 154

Round 7: Buffalo’s Nos. 219 and 246

The Giants’ pass rush is anchored by explosive edge talent, which is why Abdul Carter was the right choice at number three.

This selection may be defined by the decision to pass up quarterback prospects in favor of the top defensive player available.

The former linebacker-turned-edge rusher Carter adds exceptional quickness, explosive power, and unwavering drive to a defensive line that already boasts players like Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dexter Lawrence, and Brian Burns.

Key Stats for the 2024 season:

Twelve bags

Twenty-four tackles for loss

QB pressures totaled 66 (second in FBS)

Carter’s domination remained unwavering despite sustaining a shoulder injury during the College Football Playoff, displaying the kind of grit and fortitude that Giants supporters look for.

Abdul Carter’s expert draft grades are A+.

“Carter is a twitchy, explosive pass rusher,” said The Ringer. The Giants’ front seven is frightening.

“Best pass rusher in the draft, fits New York’s Super Bowl-winning identity,” says CBS Sports.

Elite-Pro Football Focus: “Among edge rushers, this player has the second-highest pressure count.” absolute power.

A: “A threat off the edge, with All-Pro potential,” according to Sports Illustrated.

Jaxson Dart: The Astute Quarterback Investment at No. 25: The Future Franchise QB?
The Giants managed to get back into Round 1 after acquiring their edge rusher and chose Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, a dynamic, dual-threat thrower with exceptional deep-ball accuracy and pocket toughness. The Giants provided Dart with the perfect atmosphere to develop without pressure by starting him behind seasoned players Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

The Reason Dart Works in New York

Excellent accuracy with the deep ball and a powerful arm

With more over 1,500 running yards in college, Agile

Coaches adore a tough competitor with leadership qualities.

Expert Opinion on the Jaxson Dart Pick: A:

“The Giants did their research,” according to The Athletic. At the proper price, Dart was their man.

“A raw but promising quarterback who won’t be rushed” (B+) according to Fox Sports.

A-ESPN: “Dart has the mentality and physical aptitude to succeed under Brian Daboll.”

In conclusion, a QB plan and a defensive powerhouse

The Giants dominated the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft thanks to Abdul Carter’s potent defensive presence and Jaxson Dart’s potential for growth.

They changed both sides of the ball, adding both instant effect and possibility for the future.

This draft class might serve as the cornerstone of the Giants’ upcoming postseason run — and perhaps much more — for a squad looking for identity and stability.

Commonly Asked Questions
Is Abdul Carter prepared for the NFL?

Indeed. Carter, who is regarded as one of the draft’s most pro-ready athletes, is anticipated to start right away with Burns and Lawrence.

New York Giants Draft 2025

In 2025, will Jaxson Dart begin?

Not likely. Dart will probably sit his first season and grow under Brian Daboll with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on the roster.

What is the impact of this draft on Kayvon Thibodeaux?

The addition of Carter increases depth and competition. Depending on formations, Thibodeaux may rotate more frequently or take on specialized positions.

In recent memory, is this the greatest Giants draft?

Although it’s too soon to tell, a number of observers believe that this could be the Giants’ most significant first-round selection since 2004 (Eli Manning).

Which draft needs are the Giants most pressing?

On Days 2 and 3, you should keep an eye on the offensive line, cornerback, and wide receiver positions.
