With the New York Giants picking sixth overall and in the NFL draft this year, we decided to take a look at the history and history of the team to see what they did holding this spot in the draft organization. and see what the last ten drafts have brought to this place.The Giants were only drafted 6th overall four times, including three straight years from 1946-1948 when they took quarterback Steve Filipowicz (1946), halfback George Franck (1947) and halfback Billy Hillenbrand (1948). Between them, Filipowicz and Hillenbrand entered the games as starters..Their last pick at No. 6 came in 2019 when they drafted quarterback Daniel Jones out of Duke. Jones was the top contributor of all of the team’s #039 picks, going sixth overall, as he was named a two-game starter in his rookie campaign.Continue ReadingThe irony of this situation is that Jones, the team’s current #039 starting quarterback and the last pick of the sixth round, could be replaced by another quarterback selected in the sixth round if the team stays at that position . General manager Joe Schoen is tight-lipped about his thoughts on the process. However, he admitted the team will have to do something at quarterback with Jones injured and Tyrod Taylor becoming an unrestricted free agent.Some believe Schoen may even consider a trade to get the quarterback he wants. To do that, he will likely have to move up to the first pick in the draft, currently owned by the Chicago Bears, if he believes the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots are inclined to take their quarterback. first round picks..It wouldn’t be the first time the Giants made a move to secure their first pick in the draft. In 2004, they famously traded quarterback Phillip Rivers, whom they selected with the fourth pick in that draft, along with some of the top picks from both their 2004 and 2005 draft stocks, to the San Diego Chargers for the rights to quarterback Eli Manning. who was first selected overall by the Chargers.The Blockbuster trade worked well for both teams, but even more so for the Giants, who won two Super Bowl championships under Manning.If the Giants choose not to select a quarterback in the first round and go sixth overall, recent history shows that landing a franchise cornerstone is possible at that spot.Here’s a look at the last 10 players drafted #6:2023: OT Paris Johnson Jr, Ohio State (Arizona Cardinals)2022: OTke Im Ekwonu (Carolina Panthers North Carolina) 2 State WR Jaabay4 Miami Dolphins)2020: QB Justin Herbert, Oregon (Los Angeles Chargers)2019: QB Daniel Jones, Duke (New York Giants) Quenton (New York Giants) 448 Nelson (New York Giants) 448 Nelson 444 448 Indiana 448.
