EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants entered the 2024 NFL draft with Daniel Jones as their quarterback. Nothing changed over the weekend after six picks and three days.
It wasn't for lack of trying. The Giants engaged in talks with the New England Patriots for pick No. 3 in hopes of what sources said was for North Carolina's Drake Maye. They made offers that involved their first and second-round picks this year and first-rounder in 2025, according to multiple sources.
When Patriots owner Robert Kraft said at the NFL's annual meetings last month that "one way or another, I'd like to see us get a top-rate, young quarterback," that should have been a sign.
