If the New York Giants have an opportunity to land one of the top quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL draft, they shouldn’t hesitate to make an aggressive move. With Daniel Jones’s injury history in mind and needing to reset the cap under the comfort of a rookie contract at the most important position, the connection is easy to make.
The question is, which quarterback will be available for the Giants to acquire, and will they be willing to give up enough draft capital to make a move? The stocks of each individual passer have fluctuated significantly over the past few months, with J.J. McCarthy working his way into the top 10 and even Michael Penix Jr. out of Washington, seeing his value skyrocket ever since his Pro Day.
Recently, Jordan Raanan of ESPN suggested that the Giants think highly of LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels could end up going number two overall to the Washington Commanders, but if he falls, the Giants are a prime team to watch as a potential move-up candidate.
“When it comes to this year’s quarterbacks, Daniels is a name to keep an eye on, if he’s not among the top two picks with Williams. He is a player who is well-regarded within the organization and that multiple sources with connections to Schoen and Daboll believe would be an ideal fit in their offense.”
The Giants Would Be Getting a Certified Baller
Last season, Daniels finished with 3,811 yards, 40 touchdown passes and four interceptions. He also added 1,250 yards on the ground, including 10 touchdowns and three fumbles.
