Jets and Giants Share Something Else: High Stakes at the Draft

The Cleveland Browns, unfazed by a systemic inability to identify and develop a quarterback that has condemned them to the longest playoff drought in the N.F.L., will choose one with the first pick of the draft on Thursday night.

Up next, the Giants will have 10 minutes to make a selection that will reshape both the franchise, signaling new general manager Dave Gettleman’s perception of the roster, and the remainder of the first round. In that spot, Gettleman has manifold options: keep the pick or trade down, draft quarterback Eli Manning’s successor or an elite prospect at another position.
