Although the likelihood of a team wanting to make a deal isn’t looking good, a New York Giants insider reports the team is willing and interested in trading up for one of the best quarterback prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Growing rumors have suggested that the New York Giants have realized Daniel Jones is not their long-term quarterback solution as the NFL Draft approaches next month. Additionally, they must identify a replacement for him by April due to a strong signal-caller class in 2024.
However, top prospects Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, or Drake Maye aren’t likely to fall to them when they are on the clock at six. This means they will need to trade up if they believe one of them is the right player to guide their offense into the future.
The problem though is if there is going to be [a quarterback] for them to go up there and take,” Hughes said. “[Caleb Williams] is going No. 1 overall. That leaves Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels. Well Washington’s selecting two, they need a quarterback. New England’s selection three, they need a quarterback.
“If [quarterbacks are the first three picks] will the Giants trade up to select Bo Nix? Would they take Michael Penix considering his injury history? The Giants want a quarterback. They seem to want a replacement for Daniel Jones. That player might not be there this year.”
