Palm Beach – They could.
Of course, they could.
But they don’t have to do it.
This is the underlying current that went back on Monday when the director general of the Giants Joe Schoen for the first time discussed veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston And how these signatures can affect the socket plan or transmit a quarter With the overall choice n ° 3 in the next draft of the NFL.

“Going there, we can go to which direction and we can go and play a game right now,” said Schoen. “This does not force you in a corner or do not force you to have to take something according to the need. This gives us an optionality to go to many different directions.”
It is a strongly nuanced word there.
With Wilson and Winston as a starter and backup, in this order, Schoen knows that there will be quarters available to be selected, but he will not have to take one.
He placed the high bar – extremely high – for the prerequisites, a quarter -Arrière must be selected at n ° 3. means that Cam Ward Ira n ° 1 in the Titans and that the Browns at No. 2 could transmit Sheder Sanders in favor of the Abdul Carter pass or the corner / Large horn.

This would leave Sanders to the board of directors for the giants and they would be inclined to go to another direction unless they consider it as a really elite perspective.

“If you talk about where we choose, you would like this guy to be a quarter of a franchise that you can win – you win the NFC East each year, you try, the ultimate goal is to win a super bowl if you take a guy as high,” said Schoen. “They were able to check these boxes.”
At this point, the Giants are not yet completed with their assessment project.

They were on the track of Sanders throughout his collegial season in Colorado, but they have not yet seen him during his professional day – which comes on Friday in Boulder – and has not yet brought Sanders to their team for a first visit.

Will all these boxes finally be checked with Sanders? Even his greatest NFL defenders may not consider him as worthy of such a high choice.
If the giants conclude that Sanders cannot meet these requirements, they will be assured that Carter or Hunter will pass the test with unanimous approval. These two defenders would be the 5 best choices in each project.

The Giants would like to obtain a quarter of a quarter in this project. They believe that they are not desperate to get there.
“We have set it up where we don’t have to do so,” said Schoen. “We can go several different directions. Yeah, I understand, you want to put it in there and say:” Hey, here is our Franchise quarter for the next 15 years. “But there must be one and they were able to check a lot of boxes.”

Wilson, 36, visited the giants on March 14 and that Schoen said that a contractual offer had been made at that time.

This means that the giants had left Aaron Rodgers’ waiting match at that time. Wilson does not agree for the conditions before March 25. Before that, it took five days after the offer to Winston for the agreement to be concluded.
“I know it seems that it was dragging, but there were conversations behind the scenes that were had,” said Schoen about the quarter-Arrière additions. He added that head coach Brian Daboll “had a very good relationship” with Wilson and Winston during their visit.
Schoen almost admitted that Wilson, 36, was not the player he was in the past, while expressing that he should be better than the giants had to Daniel Jones.

Wilson launched only 16 passes in 11 departures last season for the Steelers. Schoen pointed out that the Giants have not had a quarter of a quarter that many affected have been in a season since 2019 – the recruit year of Jones.
“There is this basin of players you can choose,” said Schoen. “You try to look at what they can do and accentuate the positive points.”
When the players arrive on April 21 for the off -season training program, he will be Wilson who will take the representatives of the first team, said Schoen.
“Excited to do so,” said Schoen. “Leadership. He played in stretching last year.”
There was no insurance in Wilson that the Giants will not take a quarter of a quarter in the first round.

“I said we are open to everything,” said Schoen. “You cannot give a promise that you are not going to take a certain position or something like that, it’s not fair.”
They could opt for a quarter, but they might not do it.
“We are in position,” said Schoen, “where we can take who we think we are the best football player at the time.”
