The Daniel Jones debate that isn’t going away anytime soon

Every selection in the NFL draft is open for debate, analysis and immediate approval or rejection. The over-the-top pushback to the Giants taking Daniel Jones with the No. 6 overall pick is something to behold.

The reaction makes it seem as if the Giants put together their draft board by throwing darts. A case can and certainly should be made general manager Dave Gettleman needed to embrace the good fortune of seeing edge-rusher Josh Allen dropping into the Giants’ lap, take him, and then aggressively maneuver to trade up from No. 17 to get Jones, who was not going to go in the top 10 if the Giants didn’t grab him and incite a fan revolt.
