Supposedly, Mark Twain said that history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Well, when it comes to the New York Giants and 2019 NFL Draft, the refrain is awfully familiar from a year ago. ESPN’s Todd McShay proves that point in his latest mock draft, selecting quarterback Dwayne Haskins for the Giants.
Last year, prognosticators spent months insisting that the Giants would use their high first round draft pick to secure an heir apparent for Eli Manning and set themselves up for the franchise’s next era. They opted to select Saquon Barkley instead, and after another disappointing season with disappointing quarterback play, the Giants once again have a high pick in the first round.
