Giants seven-round NFL mock draft 2.0: J.J. McCarthy selected to replace Daniel Jones
NY Post
Forcing a pick based strictly on need can work out, but often it does not. A team must be true to its player-evaluation board and cognizant of what it needs — not only today but also into the near future and beyond.
Any year, if a team concerned with the state of its quarterback position can find a new one, without moving heaven and earth and draft picks, it must take that plunge, even if it is a decision based more on tomorrow than today.
That is why this particular draft is so fascinating for the Giants. At No. 6 overall, they can go in several different directions.
Coming to the aid of Daniel Jones and a needy offense by adding a top playmaker is a logical pathway to follow. Or they can look to find Jones’ successor, cognizant that adding a rookie quarterback might do little to enhance the chances for success in 2024 after a regressive 2023 season.
