The New York Giants head into the offseason with an extended to-do checklist. On the prime, as said within the season-ending interviews with co-owner John Mara, basic supervisor Joe Schoen, and head coach Brian Daboll, is to seek out their subsequent beginning quarterback.
There are two excellent quarterback prospects on this draft (Miami’s Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders of Colorado) and as destiny would have it, the Giants maintain the third total choose and the 2 groups in entrance of them — Tennessee and Cleveland — are out there for quarterbacks.
That leaves Schoen with a number of choices, one is placing collectively a bundle to try to maneuver up into one of many prime two spots or discover their quarterback(s) later within the draft by different means.
However the query hovering over the Giants is do they love considered one of these two gamers sufficient to mortgage the longer term for?
The reply is, probably. SNY’s Connor Hughes studies that the Giants had a Day 2 grade on Sanders final 12 months and like him to Ward this 12 months.
The speak round league circles has been Sanders. It’s been that manner since earlier than the season ended. The Giants truly had a accomplished report on Sanders prepared if he declared for final 12 months’s draft. He would have been a goal within the second or third spherical.
Mara made it very, very clear after the season that his dedication to this regime was for 2025 solely. If he feels subsequent 12 months as he does now then he’ll make wholesale adjustments. That mandate, which NFL Community went so far as to say means playoffs, tells you there must be drastic adjustments. Mara additionally made it clear the highest precedence for the Giants is discovering their franchise quarterback.
That tells me the Giants are going to do every part they’ll to go up and get their quarterback. The most important query, as addressed above, is that if the Titans or Browns are keen to maneuver again.
With Ward probably not getting previous Cleveland ought to Tennessee cross on him, the Giants could be observing Sanders if the Browns cross. That isn’t anticipated to occur, although.
This isn’t the 12 months to be out there for a quarterback. There’s no Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, or Drake Maye right here. It doesn’t appear like they’ll be groups searching for to maneuver as much as the highest of the draft this 12 months to take both of these quarterbacks.
With Sanders, there may be additionally the suitability issue. The one the place his well-known father, Deion Sanders, may give the thumbs down on a group he feels just isn’t a match for his son.
Are the Giants are group Deion sees as appropriate? In the event that they aren’t, that will probably be a purpose for them to avoid him ought to they get the possibility.
However once more, it is vitally unlikely both Ward or Sanders will get previous the Titans and Browns, two determined groups in want of facelifts.
