The New York Giants maintain the sixth total choice within the 2024 NFL draft and in accordance with SNY’s Connor Hughes, all choices are nonetheless on the desk after Spherical 1 of free company — even quarterback.
“The principle place to look at right here is quarterback, particularly Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy,” writes Hughes.
“The thrill is there that he’s the participant the Giants need. League sources spoke extremely of McCarthy when polled by SNY. One high-ranking govt mentioned he’ll be a ‘higher professional than school participant.’ One other basic supervisor mentioned he has every little thing groups search for — dimension, athleticism, arm energy, accuracy, performed in a pro-style offense. He added, ‘he’s additionally very coachable.’”
The Giants have a quarterback room with three gamers who’ve NFL expertise in Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito however none of them are thought of the longer term at quarterback previous this season.
The Giants might be searching for that participant on this draft and must act rapidly if they’re to get him with quarterbacks prone to go within the first three alternatives (Chicago, Washington, and New England).
Arizona and the Los Angeles Chargers is also tempted by a blockbuster supply from a workforce seeking to transfer up.
It’s very seemingly that workforce might be the Minnesota Vikings, who bettered their lot by buying one other first-round decide from Houston this week. They’re rumored to love McCarthy if they will get in entrance of the Giants.
That might be robust if Marvin Harrison Jr. is on the board for both the Cardinals or the Chargers. Each groups are ravenous for huge receivers after purging their rosters of a number of starters.
As for quarterbacks, all three of the highest groups within the draft have moved off their starters from final season. Chicago is in search of to deal Justin Fields. Washington just lately dealt Sam Howell to Seattle and the Pats despatched Mac Jones to Jacksonville final week.
