New York Giants should not pass up a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft

The New York Giants don't have a franchise passer in the building and could draft one with their sixth overall pick, but will they make that choice? What am I missing here? The team doesn't have a long-term answer at QB, and it should not matter how much money they gave to Daniel JonesGiants GM Joe Schoen has had a disastrous tenure in New York thus far, and it's been highlighted by giving Daniel Jones $160 million on a four-year deal.

The team signed Drew Lock, who is a fine backup, but there is nothing else on the roster to inspire confidence that the team has a long-term QB option.
