According to reports, the new york giants are aiming for one quarterback in the 2024 nfl draft.
The giants were supposed to be in the quarterback market for the draft at the nfl combine in indianapolis, and more details have surfaced about the team and its relationship with daniel jones.
Daniel jones jones signed a four-year contract worth $160 million last year, but if the giants want an early exit, the contract’s structure looks more like a two-year contract worth $80.
Jones struggled badly last season before retiring on injured reserve.
Rich eisen of the nfl network said the giants were “done” with jones, according to rich eisen of the nfl network.
The Giants backed up that thought by signing Former Denver Broncos starter Drew Lock this week in free agency. He’s expected to compete for the starting job in the upcoming season. But Lock could have competition from a rookie as well as Jones.
The Giants reportedly like J.J. McCarthy
According to Connor Hughes with SNY TV, the Giants have locked in on one quarterback they can take with the No. 6 pick in the draft. While the Giants are keeping multiple options open for the pick, the front office likes Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy:
“The main position to watch here is quarterback, specifically Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. The buzz is there that he’s the player the Giants want. League sources spoke highly of McCarthy when polled by SNY. One high-ranking executive said he’ll be a “better pro than college player.”
Another general manager said he has everything teams look for — size, athleticism, arm strength, accuracy, played in a pro-style offense. He added “he’s also very coachable.”
McCarthy would likely be available at No. 6
It’s important to remember this is lying season. However, McCarthy would likely be the best quarterback available at No. 6 if the Giants could not trade up into the top three. Quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels are expected to fly off the board first.
McCarthy did a lot of winning at Michigan. However, he wasn’t asked to throw as much as his likely-first-round quarterback peers in Jim Harbaugh’s offense. McCarthy operated more as a game manager and achieved great success doing so for the reigning national champions.
