Dave Gettleman won’t let QB desperation direct Giants’ draft

No.

Again: No.

As often as general manager Dave Gettleman reminds everyone Eli Manning is closer to 40 than he is 25, as much as he desires to bring a youngster in to learn “at the feet’’ of Manning, he will not — repeat, will not — give any special consideration to selecting a quarterback this Thursday night in the first round of the NFL draft.

“I’m just telling you, we’re not going to force a pick,” Gettleman said Thursday. “You can’t draft for need, you’ll get screwed every time. You’ll make a mistake.”

We get it.
