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.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
