The New York Giants beat the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17, and that game prevented them from getting the first overall pick in the draft—after all, they will have the third pick, after the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns.

But it seems like the Giants could still be able to grab one of the top quarterback prospects anyway.

During a press conference to introduce new Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi, Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker talked about the team's strategy for the upcoming draft.

"If there is a generational talent, you don't pass that up," Brinker said. "If it is a player that tips the field in your favor every time they step on the field, you cannot pass that up."

If that's the case, the Titans might end up with cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter, from Colorado. The two-way player is seen as a true generational prospect because of his high level at both positions. Hunter is perceived to have elite cornerback potential, as well as a useful NFL receiver too.

Baloney season

If that's really the case and the Titans get Travis Hunter, the New York Giants would have the option to take Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders, the top two quarterbacks on the Consensus Big Board. The next QB on the consensus board is Jalen Milroe, just the 24th overall prospect.

But it's the season of lies. The Titans might be interested in Travis Hunter, but they also might want to take a quarterback anyway because it's a need and the positional value is just too high. Another possibility is that the Titans are considering a trade down, so it would make sense to show openness to every possible scenario.

The Giants will certainly need to add not only one, but multiple quarterbacks. Right now, the 90-man roster doesn't have any—neither on the active roster or on the list of future contracts. At least Tommy DeVito is an exclusive-rights free agent, so the Giants can bring him back for a veteran minimum salary.

Drew Lock and Tim Boyle finished the season on the roster, but are slated to be unrestricted free agents.
