Rumors Linking Justin Herbert to the Giants Mean We're in Peak Smoke Screen Season

In a perfect world, any team successfully caught attempting to execute a ridiculous pre-draft smokescreen would have to then draft that player regardless of whether or not they actually wanted to.

That way we could see how the Giants might handle having Justin Herbert and Daniel Jones on the same roster.

A report from NFL Network Monday, just four days ahead of the draft, indicated that the Giants had been heavily researching the Oregon quarterback, believed by some to be the best quarterback behind Joe Burrow in this year’s class. This research included a FaceTime call between Herbert and new Giants head coach Joe Judge.
