Michael Lombardi believes the Giants are making a mistake in sticking with Daniel Jones.
Despite all the publicized work the New York Giants did on this year's quarterbacks class, the team did not make a selection.
"I wasn't surprised at all by that," former NFL general manager turned analyst Michael Lombardi toldthis week."If you listened to what John Mara said at the owners' meetings ... he said very clearly, 'I'll favor them drafting a quarterback if they're in love.' And he used the word 'love.'Obviously, But getting back on track, “love" is a word that comes with varying degrees of intensity.
Lombardi isn't confident the Giants, whose head coach Brian Daboll has been know to work some magic with developing quarterbacks, will be able to do so with Jones a second time around. For instance, he points to Mara as being the reason why Jones got the four-year, $160 million deal that he got, but declined to mention that Jones was not only coming off a winning season that led to a playoff berth but the Giants, because of that, were drafting so low in the 2023 draft order that they had no chance of drafting a quarterback unless they were willing to give up the farm--an unwise move for a franchise that has so many holes.
