Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network selected Duke quarterback Daniel Jones for the New York Giants with the sixth overall pick in his most recent mock draft. During a pre-draft conference call on Thursday, he explained why.
First, Jeremiah addressed taking a quarterback at No. 6 when conventional wisdom has the Giants doing at No. 17 — if at all.
“The first question is, it’s a philosophical question of if you’re the Giants, do you take a quarterback at 6, a little bit higher than you’d like, or do you wait at 17 and hope that the one guy you really want is there.
