Future Uncertainty: Giants Eyeing Georgia QB Carson Beck as Potential Replacement for Daniel Jones.
The New York Giants made a strategic decision in the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting wide receiver Malik Nabers instead of a quarterback in the first round. Despite this move, quarterback Daniel Jones still faces uncertainty about his future with the team. Both general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll were not part of the organization when Jones was drafted sixth overall in 2019. With Jones leading the team to just one postseason appearance so far, the upcoming 2024 season could be pivotal in determining his long-term status with the Giants.
Depending on Jones’ performance and the team’s success this season, the Giants may find themselves in a position to select his replacement in the 2025 NFL Draft. Pro Football Focus’ “way-too-early” 2025 NFL Mock Draft projection sees the Giants targeting Georgia quarterback Carson Beck with the fifth overall pick. Beck, known for his precise timing and accuracy, earned a strong grade of 91.5 in 2023 and has experience as a starter with successful college football achievements.
Beck’s potential selection signals a readiness on the Giants’ part to consider alternatives at quarterback if Jones fails to deliver this season. His impressive college stats, including nearly 4,000 passing yards and 24 touchdowns in the previous season, showcase his ability to perform at a high level. As the Giants look towards the future, Beck could emerge as a strong candidate to become their franchise quarterback should Jones struggle to capitalize on the talent surrounding him.
