The New York Giants contingent, speaking at the NFL Combine last week, embraced what they’re calling the “Kansas City model” for finding their next franchise quarterback. So the Giants intend to keep veteran quarterback Eli Manning as their starter in 2019 and draft a quarterback in the first round presumably to take over in 2020 -- much like the Chiefs did with Alex Smith after they selected Patrick Mahomes in the first round of the 2017 daft.
Smith took the Chiefs to the playoffs in 2017. And Mahomes, ready after a season of mostly sitting and learning, burst onto the scene in 2018, taking the team to the AFC Championship game.
