The New York Giants are facing a significant decision regarding their quarterback situation heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite having Daniel Jones on the roster, reports suggest that the team is not keen on retaining him. Additionally, they recently signed another quarterback from Jones’ draft class, indicating they are considering alternatives for the starting position.
The upcoming draft class features several intriguing quarterback prospects, even beyond the top two projected picks of Caleb Williams and Drake Maye. With the Giants holding the sixth overall pick, they have the opportunity to select a promising signal caller.
According to SNY’s Connor Hughes, the Giants are keeping an “open-minded” approach to the draft and are considering all options. There is “buzz” surrounding Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy potentially being selected by the Giants with the sixth pick. McCarthy’s draft stock has risen rapidly in recent weeks, with many praising his blend of physical skills and intangible qualities that could translate well to the professional level.
McCarthy, standing at 6’3″, played a crucial role in leading Michigan to the national title last season. He impressed with his performance, throwing for 2,991 yards, 22 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions in 15 games during his final season with the Wolverines. His potential upside has caught the attention of teams like the Giants, who are in need of a quarterback solution for the future.
