The New York Giants have reportedly decided to take a different path at quarterback this offseason than they had originally intended. They are expected to try to draft a quarterback in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Daniel Jones era is about over
The Giants seem to be done with the Daniel Jones experiment. The Giants signed Drew Lock in free agency to compete with Jones for the starting spot. However, Jones and Lock might not be the QB1 following training camp.
The Giants have the No. 6 pick in the draft, so they’ll have a chance to take one of the top rookie quarterback prospects in this year’s class. The Giants reportedly had to change their mind on which quarterback they would have an opportunity to select.
The New York Giants changed their mind at quarterback for 2024
Per John Frascella with Razzball, the Giants planned to take LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels in the draft. But because of his popularity with the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots, the Giants have set their sights on J.J. McCarthy:
“While it’s come out that the Giants are upset someone leaked the JJ McCarthy story, my source tells me they were even more interested in Jayden Daniels. However, it has become clear to the Giants that Daniels is DEFINITELY going in the top 3 of the NFL Draft, thus their attention turned completely to McCarthy.”
Benjamin Allbright with KOA Colorado confirmed Franscella’s report.

Lots of teams are lining up for McCarthy
The Giants might want McCarthy at No. 6, but there is no guarantee he’ll be around when New York has the potential to take him there. The Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, and Denver Broncos are expected to try to trade up for McCarthy. The Vikings recently made a trade for a second first-round pick in the draft, so they could potentially make another trade for a quarterback like McCarthy before the No. 6 pick.
The Arizona Cardinals reportedly have the No. 4 pick up for sale, and the Giants might have to make a move there if they want to draft McCarthy,

I think the giants are shooting themselves in the foot by not sticking with D.J HIS WHOLE TIME HERE HE RAN FOR HIS LIFE NO FRONT LINE AND I THINK HES ANOTHER E.M AND WILL BRING US ANOTHER S.B , THEY NEED TO GIVE HIM A FAIR CHANCE BEHIND A REAL FRONT LINE BEFORE THE DUMP HIM ,WHAT THE HELL IS ANOTHER LOSING SEASON IF THATS THE CASE THIS YEAR WHITH HIM WAKE UP GMEN
The fans are disrespecting Jones the same way they disrespected Simms and Eli before they both won the Superbowl!
Crazy how people in the organization still think he’s the guy. He was never the guy. As a fan I stuck by him the last 5 years. Reminds me of the Dave brown days. Gentleman players need to be erased. Gotta get the 4th pic from Arizona. Kc moved up for mahomes and got their guy. It’s a risk but if they are in love with a qb then go for it
