Ahh\u2026 springtime. Another year has come and gone, and along with that freshly cut grass smell and iced coffee, the season welcomes back draft speculation and off-season workouts for the NFL. The New York Giants<\/a> have now officially dodged the chatter of a potential trade for\u00a0<\/a>Russell Wilson<\/a><\/strong> of the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>, and it is once again time to get serious about whom to expect on the 2019 roster.<\/p>\n

Russell Wilson Speculation: Should We Trust Anything the New York Giants Say?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Quarterback Questions<\/h2>\n

Starting with the big guns. Or cannons, I guess. Eli Manning<\/a><\/strong> seems to think the Giants will be acquiring a new young quarterback this year, according to a report from ESPN<\/a> that came out on Monday. While the Seahawks extending of Wilson<\/a> supports his prediction, this does not mean that the Giants will be drafting a quarterback.<\/p>\n

Let me repeat that for those of you in the 300s\u2026 this does not mean that the Giants will be drafting a quarterback<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Josh Rosen<\/a><\/strong> may be said to be the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>\u2019 starter this season, but it\u2019s all but a done deal that the Cards will be drafting NFL-ready Kyler Murray<\/a><\/strong> with their first overall pick this season. We all know the dangers of starting a rookie quarterback. But if Murray is their guy, why wouldn\u2019t they ditch Rosen in favor of some draft capital. The current offer to the Cardinals is believed to be a second-round pick, which the Giants carry the highest of. And after last season\u2019s devastation, Arizona could definitely make good use of it.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Dianna Russini<\/strong> has reason to believe, after her time at the Combine, that prospect Dwayne Haskins<\/strong><\/a> won\u2019t be Big Blue\u2019s first-round selection. Haskins, whose heavy feet ran slower than Manning in his 40-yard dash, is definitely an apt and capable quarterback, but in a league so heavy with mobile quarterbacks, it\u2019s definitely a red flag.<\/p>\n

Haskins arguably has the most benefits of the quarterbacks in this year\u2019s draft class, despite his lack of college starts. Drew Lock<\/strong><\/a> is another promising prospect, what with all his accuracy and consistency (Ooh! Ahh!). Still, should the Giants want to draft a quarterback in round one, it should happen with their pick from the Cleveland Browns<\/a>, as that sixth overall pick should really be reserved for a pass rusher (we’ll get to that next). At pick 17, Daniel Jones<\/strong><\/a> should be easy to acquire. He worked under David Cutcliffe<\/strong> in his time at Duke, who coached both Peyton Manning<\/a><\/strong> and Eli.<\/p>\n

All of this said,\u00a0has\u00a0Kyle Lauletta<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0had his fair shot yet? I don\u2019t think so. Will he get it? After the resigning of Alex Tanney<\/a><\/strong>, probably not.<\/p>\n

\n

Have we given Kyle Lauletta a fair shot?<\/p>\n
