The 2019 NFL Draft starts on Thursday, April 25th, and the New York Giants hold the 6th and 17th picks in the first round. Eli Manning is still the starter for the Giants. Giants GM Dave Gettleman stated that the Giants have to address the quarterback situation, they could draft a quarterback, or maybe even trade for one.
2019 DRAFT
Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State
Dwayne threw for 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions while completing 70% of his passes. While he only has one full season of starting under his belt, the statistics look great, and the Giants could use a pocket passer with his skill set. The Giants might not need to move up to draft him, and if they did they might not need to trade up to far.
Daniel Jones, Duke
Daniel Jones was a three year starter at Duke, in his time starting there, he completed 59.9% of his passes for 8,201 yards, 52 touchdowns and 29 interceptions. He also ran for 1,323 yards on 406 carriers (3.3 average) and 17 touchdowns. He provides athleticism at quarterback, and his coach, David Cutcliffe has coached both Peyton Manning and Eli Manning when they were in college. If the Giants want to pass on a quarterback with the 6th pick, they could end up landing Jones at the 17th pick in the draft.
TRADE
Josh Rosen, Arizona Cardinals
FS1's Joel Klatt was on Undisputed on Wednesday March 27th and stated that the Giants were one of the teams interested in Josh Rosen. He also said one of the three teams (Giants, Patriots, and Chargers) offered a second round pick for him. In 2018 Rosen threw 11 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 2,278 yards and completed 55.2% of his passes, and he fumbled 10 times. He did play behind an offensive line that gave up 45 sacks in the 14 games (13 starts) that Rosen played in. So perhaps a fresh start for him would be good, and the Giants could use their first round picks for other areas of need.
Teddy Bridgewater, New Orleans Saints
Giants head coach Pat Shurmur was on the Vikings staff in 2016 and 2017 seasons on the offensive staff, Teddy Bridewater was also on the roster those two seasons. In 2017 when Teddy was coming back from his injury that took the whole 2016 season away, Shurmur was the offensive coordinator. Teddy only threw two passes that season, but having been in Shurmur's system, it would give the Giants a signal caller with experience in their offense. This could be hard to pull off because perhaps the Saints feel that Teddy could be the eventual replacement for Drew Brees.
