The New York Giants are at a pivotal point heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, and Pro Football Focus recently released its "ideal draft" scenario for Big Blue. Drew and Rob break down the selections and discuss how realistic this plan truly is. At pick No. 3, PFF has the Giants taking Washington State quarterback Cam Ward. While that would be a dream scenario for the Giants, the question is whether Ward will even be available at that spot. He’s widely considered one of the best quarterbacks in this class, and depending on what happens with teams like the Titans, he may not make it past the first two picks. If the Giants do land him, it would be a massive win, giving them a potential franchise quarterback who can sit and develop behind a veteran. Moving into the second round, PFF has the Giants selecting Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison. The former freshman All-American is praised for his quickness, versatility, and ability to play both outside and in the slot. With Deonte Banks having a rocky year, adding another young, talented corner to the mix could be crucial for solidifying the Giants’ secondary. Rob emphasizes that whether it's in the first, second, or third round, the Giants need to address the cornerback position while also making moves in free agency to strengthen the unit. The third-round pick is where things get interesting, with PFF projecting Ohio State edge rusher J.T. Tuimoloau to New York. While Tuimoloau has the size and strength to be a force, there’s a debate about whether the Giants should use a third-round pick on edge help when they already have Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, despite both dealing with injuries last season. The team has already lost Boogie Basham and could lose Azeez Ojulari, making depth at the position a real concern. Still, Rob wonders if addressing edge earlier in the draft is the best move or if a mid-round pick paired with a free agent signing would be the smarter route. The conversation shifts to what truly matters most—getting a quarterback. If the Giants walk away with Cam Ward and bring in a veteran to ease his transition, the rest of the draft could almost be considered a bonus. Expectations for this team have been tempered over the years, but securing the right quarterback would be a game-changer. The guys also joke about the long-running struggles of the franchise, with references to “lowered expectations” and the harsh reality of being a Giants fan in recent years. Ultimately, while the PFF draft isn’t perfect, it’s not far-fetched either. Would this be the best outcome for the Giants? Drew and Rob weigh in with their thoughts on whether this ideal draft would set the team up for success or if there are better paths to take when the Giants are on the clock.
