Mara, speaking to reporters at the annual league meeting, expressed openness to the idea of drafting a quarterback, acknowledging the team's interest in the position.
However, he emphasized that no final decision has been made yet. With other teams likely eyeing top QB prospects like Caleb Williams, the Giants face a crucial decision in shaping their future quarterback situation.
The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers hold the No. 4 and No. 5 picks, respectively, in the upcoming draft. While they're not likely to select a quarterback, both teams are prime candidates to trade their picks to QB-needy teams.
After a tough season and amid calls for change, the New York Giants extended Daniel Jones's contract last year. However, with another disappointing year and a season-ending ACL tear, the Giants face pressure to consider a QB change.
While the Giants may not need to use their first-round pick on a quarterback, it's crucial they select one in the 2024 draft. Competing next season with Jones and Drew Lock isn't a viable option. Alternatively, the Giants could trade back into the later stages of the first round to select a quarterback, with options like Washington's Michael Penix Jr. or Oregon's Bo Nix available.
