The Giants could have reached for a QB with the 6th pick, but smartly took WR Malik Nabers and got Daniel Jones some help instead.
The New York Giants suffered through Daniel Jones' six terrible games last season, lived through his torn ACL and considered his two neck injuries in the past three years. Yet they still essentially committed to him for at least one more season when they didn't draft a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night. That's not likely to be a popular move among many in their disgruntled fan base. But it was absolutely the right one.
So, instead they decided to stick to the quarterback they married last March when they gave Jones that four-year, $160 million contract with $82 million guaranteed. It would have been bold and risky enough to move on from him so soon after the ink had dried on that deal. The Giants weren't going to compound the risk of reaching for a quarterback they didn't love.
