Can the New York Giants bounce back in 2024?
Following an off-season that saw former Pro Bowl tailback, Saquon Barkley depart to NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Giants are undoubtedly looking to rebuild their roster, and more specifically on the offensive side of the ball.
Could the New York Giants Acquire Their Future Franchise QB in the 2024 NFL Draft?
In ESPN’s latest 2024 NFL mock draft, the New York Giants select LSU wideout, Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick in next week’s annual event.
However, in perhaps one of the most surprising moves of the projections, the Giants wasted no time in making a splash on day two as Mel Kiper Jr. has the Giants trading up with the Carolina Panthers to acquire the 33rd overall pick, where the club selects 2023 Heisman Trophy candidate, Oregon signal caller, Bo Nix.
“Surprised? Maybe we shouldn’t be. Daniel Jones is locked in as the Giants’ starter in 2024, but the team could part ways with him next offseason when his guaranteed money drops. And if general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll are down on Jones after a tough 2023 that ended with a torn ACL in November, now is the time to start thinking ahead at the position.
Nix started a whopping 61 college games in stints at Auburn and Oregon, throwing for 15,352 total yards. He leveled up in 2023, with 45 touchdown passes and three picks while completing 77.4% of his throws. The question for NFL teams: Do you trust he has enough arm strength to succeed? He was asked to get the ball out quickly and around the line of scrimmage for the Ducks, putting his receivers in a position to make plays after the catch. That’s why I have a Round 2 grade on him. There likely will be a team that falls in love with Nix in this range; why can’t it be the Giants?”
