A quarterback who previously might have been a second-rounder is now typically drafted on Day 1 to ensure that extra season of low-cost play from the most important position on the team. An AFC scout who has watched all of this class's top quarterbacks spoke to that ...
If it’s the latter, it would be hard to justify drawing pass targets away from Malik Nabers, the first Giants receiver to crack 1,000 receiving yards since Odell Bekcham Jr did so in 2018. If we go back to last year when the Giants drafted Dru Phillips in the third...
