Joe Schoen understands that Brian Daboll needs a genuine franchise quarterback, something the New York Giants’ general manager can achieve with a trade involving the Arizona Cardinals for three picks. New York Giants’ general manager can make happen with a three-pick trade scenario involving the Arizona Cardinals. The deal would net the Giants the fourth-overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft and the chance to select Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels.
The scenario was outlined by R.J. White of CBS Sports. R.J. White of CBS Sportsbelieves either Daniels or Drake Maye will tempt the Giants to trade up from the sixth pick.
White proposes a deal with the Cardinals that “costs the Giants No. 70 overall and a 2025 second-round pick to move up two spots, a fair price to pay to find a franchise quarterback.”
White suggests the trade with the Cardinals is a good deal for the Giants
, as it offers a reasonable price to acquire a dual-threat sensation like Daniels. Daboll is viewed as the perfect coach to build an offense around Daniels’ skill set after helping Josh Allen reach his potential with the Bills.
Replacing struggling starter Daniel Jones with a stat-producing machine like Daniels would make this trade an easy sell. Also, the Giants wouldn't have to give up a second-rounder this year, nor a first-round pick in 2025. Other potential trade packages have not been as straightforward, including a proposal to take the No. 3 pick from the New England Patriots for a first, second, and third-round pick in this draft, along with a second-round pick a year from now. By comparison, White’s price makes this proposal a relatively good deal assuming the Giants and Daboll aren't higher on Maye than Daniels.
Jayden Daniels is Worth the Deal for Giants bumper haul Daboll knows how to utilize a mobile quarterback capable of beating defenses in various ways. He helped Allen reach Pro Bowl status with the Buffalo Bills before inspiring Jones to have a career year in 2022. A Daniels and Daboll combination could have the transformative impact the Giants have been seeking on offense for nearly the last decade. Daniels made that level of difference for the Tigers due to a playing style tailored for the modern pro game. Daniels' electrifying rushing ability and improved technique as a deep passer helped him achieve 40 touchdowns through the air and 1,134 yards on the ground, according to Sports Reference.
Those are two areas where the Giants have struggled the most to move the ball with Jones at the helm. Moving up to select Daniels would change the perception of what Dabol’s offense can do and look like. The potential reward is tempting, which is why the idea of the Giants moving up to get a new QB1 has gained traction in recent weeks. The Cardinals are a popular potential trade partner, with “Good Morning Football” co-host Peter Schrager having the Giants move to No. 4 in his mock draft, but to select Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. He might be a safer pick due to his experience running a pro-style offense for the Wolverines. Yet, Daniels’ higher upside as a more dynamic playmaker justifies the trade.

More than his stats, the Giants should love how Daniels plays the game. Specifically he trusts his arm to attack vertically and outside the numbers, traits highlighted by Clint Brewster of 247 Sports against Ole Miss back in October.
