The New York Giants signed Daniel Jones to a sizable contract extension before the start of the 2023 NFL season, but it sounds like the team is not necessarily sold on Jones as the long-term option at quarterback and could even select a rookie quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft.
As NFL insider Albert Breer of SI.com suggests, the fact that the Giants brought in veteran quarterback Drew Lock and will presumably allow him to compete for the starting job indicates that the team could select a quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft, where they hold the No. 6 overall pick.
“That it slipped that Drew Lock will compete for the Giants’ job with Daniel Jones only re-opens the discussion on New York taking a quarterback in the first round. Like a few teams, they have investigated the price of going up. And teams below them, whether right or wrong, view the Giants at No. 6 as a team you may need to leapfrog to get one of the top four quarterbacks,” Breer wrote for SI on Monday morning.
It will certainly be interesting to see whether or not the Giants do decide to select a quarterback in the upcoming draft and what they choose to do with Jones if that does happen.
