Are the Giants thinking about drafting a QB in 2024?

To begin the 2023 season Daniel Jones was New York’s starting QB. He missed time with a neck injury he suffered in Week 5 and Tyrod Taylor started in his place. Unfortunately, Taylor suffered a rib injury in Week 8 and has been on the IR since. Jones was able to return against the Raiders after three games missed for the Giants. 

To make matters worse, Jones tore his ACL against Las Vegas and is done for the season. With Taylor on the IR, New York was forced to start undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito. With Jones’ injury, it’s not farfetched to think the Giants might draft a QB with their first-round pick in 2024. Their GM Joe Schoen did not turn down the idea of doing that in April’s upcoming draft.

After winning nine games in the regular season and a playoff game for the Giants in 2022,  New York had no choice but to sign Daniel Jones. Starting QBs are not easy to come by in the NFL and the Giants were in a tricky situation. Before the start of the 2022 season, the team did not pick up Jones’ fifth-year option. The Giants gave him one last chance to prove himself.

With the success they had, Jones was rewarded with a four-year, $160 million contract extension. Injuries limited the 26-year-old to just six games played this season. Far from what the Giants were hoping to get from Jones. However, GM Joe Schoen says the team is not giving up on Jones. He had surgery less than a week ago and it could take eight to ten months for him to fully recover.
