Giants head coach Brian Daboll expressed interest in trading up for quarterback Jayden Daniels in the 2024 NFL Draft. This revelation came during a snippet for the upcoming Hard Knocks episode, showing General Manager Joe Schoen and Daboll discussing Daniels’ potential. Despite Daboll’s interest, the Commanders selected Daniels with the second overall pick, leading the Giants to draft LSU receiver Malik Nabers with their sixth pick.
Evidently, Daboll’s readiness to trade up reveals the Giants’ strategy to potentially move past Daniel Jones, contingent on his health and performance this season. Jones’ inconsistent play and health issues have prompted the Giants to think ahead, possibly aiming for a new quarterback in future drafts. Daboll’s short yet strong assertion, “Daniels? I would,” clearly indicates the team’s intentions.
Though the Giants missed out on Daniels this time, the focus remains on quarterback upgrades. The conversation captured on Hard Knocks emphasizes the importance of securing a dependable quarterback for future success. While settling with Nabers this year, eyes are set on future draft opportunities to fill that critical role.
