This yr’s NFL draft class isn’t almost as deep as final yr’s class, particularly on the quarterback place, however there are two signal-callers who’re very intriguing.
Cam Ward from the College of Florida and Shedeur Sanders from the College of Colorado are universally thought of the 2 finest QB prospects this yr and maybe the one ones this yr who’ve any probability of turning into franchise gamers on the subsequent degree.
There’s a whole lot of hypothesis about what the quarterback-hungry New York Giants will do with their No. 3 total draft choose, and ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller feels Ward can be a sensible choice for New York and head coach Brian Daboll.

Miller referenced Daboll’s days because the Buffalo Payments’ offensive coordinator, again when Josh Allen was a younger signal-caller trying to set up himself as a star after he struggled in his first two professional seasons.
The Giants needed to discover a option to win with Daniel Jones at quarterback going again to 2019, and it lastly turned evident to them that he merely wasn’t going to evolve right into a franchise participant.
They benched and ultimately launched him this season, placing them in a scenario the place they want somebody who could be very succesful underneath middle.
New York has a poor offensive line, and aside from rookie stud Malik Nabers, a scarcity of viable playmakers, which led group legend Tiki Barber to induce them to not get fixated on drafting a QB.
However, if they arrive away from the upcoming scouting mix satisfied that Ward, or for that matter Sanders, is a franchise-caliber participant, they probably have to draft him without having to play him straight away, as they’ll’t ensure they are going to be capable to draft an identical participant subsequent yr.
