The Right Fit for a Team in Transition.
ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky recently said, “If I could hand pick one team for Jalen Milroe, it would be the New York Giants… This would be the perfect place for both the player and the organization.” And honestly? He’s absolutely right.
The Giants are in a strange place right now. They’ve added veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, which gives them short-term options at quarterback. But that doesn’t mean they should pass on the opportunity to plan for the future.
Pick the Best Player at No. 3, Then Strike for Milroe.
With the third overall pick in the draft, the Giants should stick to their board and take the best player available—whether that’s a wide receiver, edge rusher, or offensive tackle. But that shouldn’t stop them from keeping an eye on Alabama’s Jalen Milroe.
Current mock drafts have Milroe as a late first- or second-round pick. That’s a range where the Giants could easily trade up or make a move, especially with the extra picks they have.
Milroe brings dynamic playmaking ability, speed, and leadership to the table. He’s raw but explosive, and learning behind two veterans could do wonders for his growth. If the Giants are truly thinking long-term, they need to get serious about developing a quarterback—and Milroe could be the answer.
Building for Now and the Future.
Let’s face it—the Giants’ front office is in a tough spot. They need to win right now, but they also need to prepare for what’s next. That’s rarely a good combo.
However, drafting Jalen Milroe would be a smart middle ground. He wouldn’t need to start right away, but he’d give the Giants a real shot at finding their quarterback of the future.
It’s time to take a swing. And Milroe might just be the perfect pitch.
