Draft guru says he was most shocked by New York's selection
LSU Wide Wide Receiver Malik Nabers celebrates after being chosen by the New York Giants with the sixth overall pick during the first round of the NFL football draft, Thursday, April 25, 2024 in Detroit.
“I said, ‘What, you’re going to forget about Daniel Jones? You’re going to hang him out to dry? You’re not going to take any of explosives receivers when you haven’t had a thousand-yard receiver since 2018, and you have no explosive plays and you have Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze sitting there? You’re going to take a quarterback?’ And I kept hearing, yeah, yeah, they’re interested in a quarterback.
“And they didn’t have to move up,” Kiper said. “They sat at No. 6 and there’s J.J. McCarthy. … They didn’t take McCarthy. They took the recever, Malik Nabers to help Daniel Jones, who inherited. Most times GM and head coaches want their own guy, and Daniel Jones was coming off injuries and he had some struggles because the offensive line was bad and they didn’t have explosive receivers.
