EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The previous time the New York Giants had the sixth overall pick in the NFL draft was in 2019 and they surprised many by taking Daniel Jones of Duke to become the heir apparent to two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Eli Manning.
Five years after the pick and a little more than a year after giving Jones a $160 million contract extension, the Giants are again wondering about their quarterback situation.
Jones is coming off a major knee injury (ACL), and the reality is the soon-to-be 27-year-old has led New York to one playoff berth (2022) since taking over as the starter early in his rookie season.
General manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll have a lot to think about coming off a 6-11 season, and co-owner John Mara conceded taking a quarterback high in the draft is a possibility.
This is a quarterback-rich draft in which the first four picks conceivably might be QBs. There are also three outstanding receivers whose production in college has experts extolling their potential.
