In the event that the New York Giants decide to select a quarterback in the 2024 draft, the competition is going to get harder. The fifth overall pick, which the Giants currently hold after Monday night’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, could move up to No. 4 should the New England Patriots defeat the New York Jets in the season’s final game.
Blue’s chances of winning either of their remaining games are slim because they have to play the Los Angeles Rams and the Eagles again.
In actuality, the Giants will need to select in the top four, if not the top three, rounds of the draft in order to select a quarterback because they will probably need to move up in the draft and trade spots with the Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals, depending on whether they want to stick with Justin Fields for the upcoming season.
There is a lot of hope that they can advance if necessary, but finishing in the top three is crucial because ideally they wouldn’t have to forfeit a significant amount of draft capital. Marvin Harrison Jr., a receiver worthy of a Pro Bowl, is someone Arizona will probably target straight away.
The Giants may be able to keep their first-round pick in 2025, but they will probably have to give up a few good picks to go from fourth to second overall. They will surely lose a first-round pick if they move up to No. 1, and they may have to wait until they are selected. However, the Patriots and Washington Commanders are more likely to move up or take new passers before them.
