The New York Giants have many wants heading into the 2023 NFL draft and barely is quarterback mentioned amongst them.
And why wouldn’t it be? The Giants simply signed Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million deal and have his backup, Tyrod Taylor, beneath contract by means of the 2023 season.
The issue going through normal supervisor Joe Schoen is that there’s now not a QB3 on the roster and with Taylor probably leaving by way of free company in 2024, the Giants are operating fairly skinny. So with 10 picks in tow, why not spend one on a quarterback in Kansas Metropolis?
The Giants look like getting ready for exactly that.
All through the offseason, they’ve met with a number of potential late-round quarterback prospects and one — Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker — who could possibly be chosen a lot earlier.
Along with Hooker, who the Giants will use a top-30 go to on, they’ve additionally met with Houston’s Clayton Tune and Penn State’s Sean Clifford along with expressing curiosity in East Carolina’s Holton Ahlers.
These conferences aren’t coincidences and so they aren’t merely due diligence. Schoen acknowledges a necessity, nevertheless minimal it might be, and seems to be getting ready himself for a late-round alternative.
If and when a quarterback’s title is named later this month, don’t let it shock you. It’s all about avoiding a bigger downside down the highway.
