There’s speculation surrounding Joe Schoen’s strategy for the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, with possibilities ranging from trading up for a quarterback to selecting Malik Nabers or trading down for additional assets. Amidst speculation that the NY Giants may target Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy, or Jayden Daniels, former Vikings GM Rick Spielman suggests prioritizing talent around current quarterback Daniel Jones. Schoen’s decision has sparked debate among fans regarding the team’s draft direction.

Debate Surrounds NY Giants’ Draft Strategy: Supporting Daniel Jones or Seeking a Quarterback Replacement?
While Joe Schoen has received the go-ahead from John Mara to potentially pursue a new quarterback early in the draft, Rick Spielman holds the belief that the NY Giants should prioritize supporting Daniel Jones with talent, considering his recent contract extension. With the Giants holding the No. 6 pick, they have options like Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze, though Marvin Harrison Jr. could also be a possibility depending on the actions of other teams. Despite calls from fans for a long-term replacement for Jones, Spielman advocates giving him another opportunity to succeed. As the draft approaches, the Giants’ decision on this matter remains to be seen.
