The New York Giants undoubtedly have quarterback issues, but possess a solid starter in Eli Manning. They also have a back-up QB with potential in Davis Webb. According to ESPN, general manager Dave Gentlemen indicated that he wants to rebuild with Manning. In addition, new head coach Pat Shurmur is excited to work with Manning too. Per SNY, he thinks the team can win with the veteran QB.
The New York Giants confidence in Manning and Webb could afford them the luxury of trading the second overall pick. This selection obviously has value to a team with a need at quarterback.
