This wasn’t exactly a ringing endorsement.
NFL Network draft insider Daniel Jer🀅emiah has Duke’s Daniel Jones as the fourth-highest- rated quarterback on his board but still has him going , and his explanation isn’t about Jones’ physical✃ tools, but that he believes he fits Big Blue’s new conservation offensive approach.
Jeremiah sees Jones as more of a g🙈ame manager, and with the Giants’ recent trade of Odell Beckham Jr. signaling their plans to build around running back Saquon Barkley and defense, the NFL draft expertꩲ thinks they are highest on Jones.
“When you watch Daniel Jones, the way he plays, the things he’s done, he can play an efficient game,” Je⛄remiah said on a Thursday conference call of Jones, who threw 22 touchdown passes, nine interceptions and completed 60.5% of his passes for 2,674 yards as a junior with the Blue Devils in 2018.
As for whether the Giants will go with a quarterbackꦦ with their first- or second first-round pick, Jeremඣiah believes the smart move is the former.
“I thin⛄k if you have the conviction and you want a quarterback, there’s no such thing as taking him too ꦅearly,” Jeremiah said.
