The New York Giants appear set to retain head coach Brian Daboll, a sign of stability despite their struggles this season. However, finding a long-term solution at quarterback remains essential if the Giants are to build a competitive, contending team.
Here’s what we would do if we were to draft for the Giants at No. 7 overall.
Round 1 (7): QB Cam Ward, Miami FL
Despite a strong outing from Daniel Jones on Sunday, the Giants still find themselves in the hunt for a franchise quarterback.
Ward has earned a 90.4 PFF passing grade this season, fourth in the nation, and he is tied for the most big-time throws in college football (23). He could be exactly what they need at the position.
Round 2 (39): T Wyatt Milum, West Virginia
Milum has emerged as the highest-graded offensive tackle in college football this season, excelling in both run blocking and pass protection. He boasts a 90.1 PFF run-blocking grade, the second-best mark in the nation, and he has yet to allow a single pressure in pass protection.
Round 3 (71): CB Tacario Davis, Arizona
With lingering question marks in the Giants' secondary, Davis could be a solution at cornerback. He earned an 85.9 PFF coverage grade in 2023 and recorded 12 pass breakups, showcasing his playmaking ability that would be a valuable addition to New York’s defense.
