East Rutherford, NJ – The New York Giants have been making headlines as they gear up for the NFL Draft that kicks off on April 24. After weeks of hustle during free agency, General Manager Joe Schoen is focused on finalizing the roster, especially at the quarterback position. The Giants recently added Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to their roster, which has been a hot topic among fans and analysts alike.
During an informative session with Giants.com, Schoen shared insights on the decision-making process leading to the quarterback signings. He highlighted the importance of exploring “9,000 different scenarios” to find the best fit for the team. “It was hectic how everything went down, and it was dragging out a little bit longer probably than I’d like. But we’re happy with the way it ended up,” he said, showing excitement about the acquisitions.
Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowler, brings a wealth of experience and proven success to the Giants. “He knows how to win. Leadership. I’m just excited to have a guy in the building with as many skins on the wall as he has at the quarterback position,” Schoen noted. Wilson’s familiarity with the team’s young talents also gives him a strong foundation as he looks to lead the offense.
Meanwhile, Jameis Winston is expected to play a pivotal role as a backup quarterback. After dealing with injuries and a rotating cast of quarterbacks over the past two seasons, Schoen emphasized the importance of having a reliable backup who has the capability of winning games. “You feel comfortable with him going in the game and being able to execute,” Schoen added.
As the Giants prepare for the draft, Schoen is optimistic about having five picks in the top 105, allowing the team to focus on improving various positions. “We still want to upgrade. We have five picks in the top 105. We could go any position, so we’re not ruling any position out,” he stated, indicating that the team’s goal is to enhance overall quality and depth.
The buzz around the team continues to grow as they solidify their strategy for the upcoming draft. With the new additions of Wilson and Winston, the Giants appear to be better positioned to make a serious push in the upcoming season, setting an exciting stage for both players and fans.
