In nine days, it will be clear if Joe Schoen, the Giants’ general manager, decides to draft a quarterback early. This move could mean Daniel Jones might be replaced sooner rather than later, as he has struggled with injuries and inconsistent performance over five seasons, despite having good moments.
Looking ahead to the 2024 NFL draft, the Giants’ quarterback roster includes Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito. Despite his high percentage of catchable passes over the past two seasons, Jones hasn’t been seen as one of the top accurate quarterbacks, although this ability did contribute to a playoff appearance for the Giants in 2022. However, Jones’ efficiency, as measured by Expected Points Added (EPA), declined last year prior to a knee injury.
In other Giants news, cornerback Nick McCloud, who played all 17 games last season and started three, signed a tender worth $2.9 million for 2024. McCloud is among just seven restricted free agents league-wide to receive such an offer.
Additionally, Giants’ special teams coach Michael Ghobrial expressed enthusiasm about adapting to a recent rule change in kickoffs. He emphasized that special teams play still demands high effort, technique, and intensity. These elements will continue to be the foundation as the team strategizes how to best approach the new rule this spring.
