GIANTS OPEN TO DRAFTING QUARTERBACK WITH DANIEL JONES QUESTIONS LURKING
The New York Giants, holding the No. 6 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, are considering selecting a quarterback despite having Daniel Jones as their expected starter. General Manager Joe Schoen emphasized a thorough evaluation of all positions but acknowledged the team's need for a good player in areas like offensive line, wide receiver, edge rusher, and safety. The Giants may explore quarterback prospects at the Senior Bowl, including Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. The article suggests that while Jones is expected to be the starter, his recent poor performance and injury concerns prompt the Giants to consider alternatives in the draft.
The team is open to selecting a quarterback who could potentially sit behind Jones for a year before taking over. The article also mentions ongoing discussions with impending free agent running back Saquon Barkley, whose future with the team remains uncertain. Barkley declined a previous offer from the Giants and is set to enter discussions with the team's representatives at the NFL scouting combine.
