Daniel Jones, Quarterback

Draft Spot: #6 in 2019 NFL Draft. Selected by the NY Giants

Projected Role: QB1

Daniel Jones is finally getting some help.

After back-to-back seasons with subpar weapons, suspect offensive lines, and a lack of depth all across the offense, the time is finally here for Jones to succeed in an offense that is better than any he’s had in the NFL.

The pressure is on Jones in a critical year three. He became the face of the franchise the day he was selected and Eli Manning’s days as the unquestioned starter for the New York Giants were officially numbered. Jones needs to show his ability to improve his decision-making, he needs to reduce his turnovers, and has to stay healthy. If all these things fall into place, Daniel Jones could have an under the radar breakout season.
