Joe Schoen knows Brian Daboll needs a true franchise quarterback, something the New York Giants’ general manager can make happen with a three-pick trade scenario involving the Arizona Cardinals. The deal would net the Giants the fourth-overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft and the chance to select Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels.
It’s a scenario outlined by R.J. White of CBS Sports. He believes either Daniels or Drake Maye will tempt the Giants to trade up from the sixth pick.
White has a deal with the Cardinals “costing the Giants No. 70 overall and a 2025 second-round pick to move up two spots, a fine price to pay to find a franchise quarterback.”
White has come up with a reasonable price to acquire a dual-threat sensation like Daniels. The former LSU star would find the Giants a natural fit because “Daboll is the perfect coach to build an offense around Daniels’ skill set after helping Josh Allen reach his upside with the Bills.”
Swapping out struggling starter Daniel Jones for a statistic-producing machine like Daniels would make this trade an easy sell. So would not having to give up a second-rounder this year, nor a first-round pick in 2025.
Other hypothetical trade packages haven’t been quite so streamlined. Including a bumper haul to take the No. 3 pick from the New England Patriots for a first, second and third-round pick in this draft, along with a second a year from now.
