The New York Giants maintain the sixth general choice within the 2024 draft and will likely be ready to pick both a franchise quarterback or stud broad receiver.
The numbers favor the Giants this 12 months. There are 4 quarterbacks who’re being given “franchise” labels: USC’s Caleb Williams, Drake Maye of UNC, LSU’s Jayden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy of Michigan.
There are additionally three “can’t-miss” wideouts in Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison, Jr, Malik Nabers of LSU, and Washington’s Rome Odunze.
Irrespective of who will get chosen within the first 5, there will likely be two studs left for the Giants to select from with the sixth decide.
Rick Spielman — a former common supervisor for 2 NFL groups (Miami and Minnesota) who’s now an analyst for CBS Sports activities — believes Nabers is the Giants’ finest wager if he’s there at No. 6.
The Giants addressed their offensive line in free company and, in Rick’s phrases, “stole” Brian Burns from the Panthers through commerce. Nonetheless, they want playmakers, and Nabers is “essentially the most explosive participant with the ball in his palms after the catch (on this class), in all probability the quickest receiver up on this space, so he’s going to carry an on the spot impression and big-play potential to the New York Giants offense.
Nabers is probably not there now after a monster professional day that will have put him forward of Harrison and Odunze and into the highest 5 on this draft.
Many will urge them to take a quarterback within the first spherical because the Giants’ QB room shouldn’t be precisely awed by the remainder of the league. They’ve Daniel Jones getting back from a torn ACL and red-flagged due to his continual neck situation.
They signed Drew Lock to a one-year, $5 million deal in free company final month as insurance coverage but when Lock was thought of a possible starter absolutely he wouldn’t have been obtainable this offseason.
Then there’s Tommy DeVito, the native child who grew to become a people right here final season. He’s been grounded and it’s unsure if he’ll even make the 53-man roster this summer season.
Nabers would come proper in and provides the Giants that shot within the arm that different LSU wideouts earlier than him reminiscent of Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase gave theirs.
Presently, the Giants’ depth chart at broad receiver lacks a big-time title that throws a scare into opposing defenses. Nabers will definitely try this.
