New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll met with the media on the team’s first day of the offseason voluntary workout period known as “Phase One”.
Daboll said he was “very pleased” with the high turnout and spoke to the speculation surrounding the team’s plan at quarterback with the 2024 NFL draft less than two weeks away.
Brian Daboll on scouting the QB position: “we just do our due diligence, we’ve done it other years, not just this year.” Adds it’s important to evaluate that position because you never know when these players will be available, develop relationships for down the line.

A lot could hinge on how well current starter Daniel Jones rehabs from ACL surgery. Daboll said Jones was “making strides” in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) is “making progress,” said Brian Daboll. “I don’t want to say further ahead (or) behind. He’s doing everything we need him to do. He’s making strides.”

The Giants signed Drew Lock to a one-year, $5 million deal after Tyrod Taylor decided to sign with the Jets. They also still have Tommy DeVito under contract, so the room has some experience behind Jones.
The collective thinking is the Giants will use the sixth overall selection on either a quarterback (if the right one is available) or one of the three stud wide receivers in this year’s class.
