<\/p>\nThe 2024 NFL draft came to a close this past Saturday so that naturally means it\u2019s time to look ahead to the 2025 NFL draft, right?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an annual exercise and that\u2019s not going to change this year.<\/p>\n
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY\u00a0has already compiled his way-too-early 2025 mock draft and his projections don\u2019t look good for the New York Giants. He has them picking first overall next year based on ESPN\u2019s pre-draft win projections and ending up with Georgia quarterback Carson Beck.<\/p>\n
Unlike this point last year with Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, there\u2019s no quarterback out there who looks to be a surefire top-five pick. Beck, however, might be the front-runner to be the highest signal-caller taken \u2013 and therefore in the mix for No. 1. The 6-4, 220-pound passer stepped into his first year as a starter and took command, throwing for 3,941 yards while completing nearly 73% of his passes.<\/em><\/p>\n
Beck\u2019s arm strength can help bring back a big-play element that has long been absent for New York with Daniel Jones at the helm. But the Georgia standout is also a precise and on-schedule operator, which should allow him to form a potent connection with 2024 first-round receiver Malik Nabers, an electric threat after the catch.<\/em><\/p>\n
With an off ramp to Jones\u2019 contract available after this season, Big Blue could end up moving quickly to admit fault on the extension and change course. Beck might make for an attractive option to which the team could pivot, especially after reports that the team made a serious push to try to move up for Drake Maye.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The same trend of the past three years is developing \u2014 quarterback, quarterback, quarterback.<\/p>\n
Experts and Giants fans are desperate to move on from Daniel Jones and have beaten that dead horse so thoroughly that only dust remains. This time, however, they may finally get their wish as the Giants have an out in Jones\u2019 contract after this season.<\/p>\n
Of course, that only happens if the team struggles and Jones plays poorly. If he somehow remains healthy and can play like he did in 2022, the anti-DJ crowd may not get their wish in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
