6. New York Giants: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State

There are plenty who still believe in Eli Manning as the leader of the New York Giants. There are also those who think his time is up and say the G-Men need a new signal-caller. As for the Giants themselves, they are saying their all-in on Eli, but their actions have shown they’re at least looking around.

The Giants sent members of their front office out to scout Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, who was likely to be the No. 1 overall pick had he left school. Once Herbert decided to stay, the best prospect became Dwayne Haskins — although he was trending in that direction even while Herbert was undecided.

With all that being said, the Giants now find themselves on the board with the best quarterback in the draft available. As much as they want Manning to find his old form, there’s no way they can pass up the Ohio State prospect.

Haskins only started one season for the Buckeyes, but he was fantastic in that season. Haskins completed 70 percent of his passes for 4,381 yards and 50 touchdowns. He has the talent to start right away and lets the Giants go from one franchise quarterback to another — something that’s not that easy to do.
