EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants got a much-needed big-play wide receiver when they grabbed Malik Nabers early in the NFL draft, and now they have to hope quarterback Daniel Jones and his surgically repaired ACL are ready to deliver the ball when the season opens in September.
The Giants really didn’t have much of a choice. They had the sixth pick overall, and the consensus was there were three can’t-miss quarterbacks and three elite receivers at the top of the board.
Any of those players would have helped the Giants’ anemic offense, which finished 31st in passing yards, 30th in scoring and 29th overall in a disappointing 6-11 season.
While general manager Joe Schoen wanted to move up and grab a quarterback, the asking price was too high, and New York selected Nabers. The LSU wideout averaged a nation-high 120.7 yards receiving, finishing with 89 catches for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns.
