If Giants don’t draft a QB early, history says they probably shouldn’t draft one at all

New York Times  

The Beast, Dane Brugler’s expansive guide to the NFL Draft, is here. Even if New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen is intent on selecting a quarterback in the NFL Draft, there’s no guarantee he’ll land one at the top of the first round. There’s a notion the Giants could pass on a quarterback in the first round and hope to land Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. or Oregon’s Bo Nix with their second-round pick. The Vikings also forfeited their 2025 second-round pick in the Texans trade, whereas the Giants have a pick in each of the first five rounds of next year’s draft. The Giants’ 2023 class skewed older; second-round pick John Michael Schmitz, fifth-round pick Eric Gray, seventh-round pick Jordon Riley and seventh-round pick Gervarrius Owens were 24 or older during their rookie season.
