NFL UPDATE: Which QB Should Giants Focus On In 2025 NFL Draft?
The Carolina Panthers upset the New York Giants in overtime on Sunday in Munich, Germany, in a lackluster game.The Giants fell to 2-8 after the game, although they were still ranked No. 2 overall in the current 2025 NFL Draft order.To replace Daniel Jones as quarterback, general manager Joe Schoen will most likely draft a quarterback.
Throughout the college football season, Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders have been regarded as the top two quarterbacks eligible for the draft.Sanders and Ward both had strong performances over the weekend, but the Giants may be interested in this QB prospect in the pre-draft round.
Brian Daboll’s scheme would be a perfect fit for Jalen Milroe of Alabama.
The victory over LSU on Saturday was a bit of a resume game for Milroe.The product of Katy, Texas, completed 12 out of 18 passes for 109 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions.On the ground, Milroe’s performance was even more noteworthy.With just 12 rushing attempts, the dual-threat scrambler gained 185 yards and four touchdowns.
For Milroe, this season has been quite the journey.In a victory over Georgia in late September, he first thrust himself into the QB1 debate.Unfortunately, Milroe had terrible performances against South Carolina, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt after that performance.
The decisive victory against LSU demonstrated that Milroe is still a very interesting quarterback prospect.His playmaking talent is undeniable, but so are his unpolished passing skills.Milroe’s ceiling is just as high as that of Sanders and Ward.
To make the most of Milroe’s skill set, Daboll would be the perfect head coach.Despite the disappointing 2024 season, Giants owner John Mara recently asserted that Schoen and Daboll are safe.If so, they ought to be given the chance to choose Jones’ replacement by hand in April.
A leader with an offensive mindset, Daboll can effectively center his scheme around a quarterback.With a young, raw Josh Allen, he accomplished it in Buffalo, and he can do the same for Milroe, assisting him in adjusting to professional football.Milroe’s next-level success depends on the landing place, and Daboll will only have one chance to make his post-Jones plan work.
