Dwayne Haskins has come to be the most well-liked select by a huge margin in early New York Giants mock drafts, but a person NFL scout thinks he would not be the correct healthy for the franchise as Eli Manning’s successor.

“Haskins has the most upside of the top quarterbacks,” an NFL scout told Matt Lombardo, by means of NJ.com. “But I really do not assume he’s the very best healthy for the Giants.”

In accordance to the scout, there is a sturdy possibility the Giants will pass on drafting a to start with-round quarterback once more all through the 2019 NFL Draft.

“It all relies upon on irrespective of whether they assume there is an offensive lineman who holds more benefit even now on the board,” the scout reported. “Then, they can get a person like Tyree Jackson from Buffalo afterwards on, or they could contemplate Daniel Jones from Duke. Both equally of people guys have upside, both have many years of beginning expertise, but both will most possible require to sit a yr.”

We disagree with the scout’s evaluation of the team’s imagining with the No. 6 in general select. For starters, the Giants are more possible to be in the market for a defensive playmaker with the No. 6 select alternatively than an offensive lineman. During his close of the period press meeting, Giants normal manager Dave Gettleman built it very clear the franchise wants at minimum a person — but ideally more than a person playmaker on the defensive facet of the ball. Gettleman also observed how the Giants scored the most factors of any crew in the NFC East but also authorized the most factors of any crew in the division.


Placing the No. 6 select aside, we also discover it difficult to visualize the Giants would consider one more possibility on a mid-round quarterback. If the Giants had been to choose a undertaking select like Jackson who has all the tools but could possibly be years away from becoming ready, they would make it 3 consecutive years with the exact system. In 2017, the Huge utilised their third-round draft select on quarterback undertaking Davis Webb. When the new routine came in, Webb was tossed aside and the Giants went on to use their fourth-round draft select on quarterback undertaking Kyle Lauletta.

As for Jones, he is possible to be a to start with-round draft select in present-day landscape but he could possibly slide to the Giants select at No. 38 in general. We consider they should pass on Jones. Soon after a more comprehensive analysis of his games at Duke, we continue being skeptical Jones has the arm expertise vital to be anything at all more than an average starter at the NFL amount. Jones has a smaller relationship to the Giants mainly because he figured out less than Duke head coach David Cutcliffe — the man responsible for assisting to mould the throwing mechanics and footwork for Eli Manning. However, this relationship is not adequate to presume the Giants will provide on their own on a prospect.


In the close, the scout thinks Manning will be the Giants starter in 2019 no issue what.

“All of the quarterbacks in this course, Haskins incorporated, will most possible sit driving Eli,” the scout reported. “At minimum to begin.

The Giants have however to make a remaining determination on Manning’s long term with the franchise.
