The Giants have reportedly signed Drew Lock to a one-year deal, and Tiki says it could be a sign of what is to come for Big Blue in the upcoming draft.
“This feels like a non-quarterback year,” Tiki said. “They’re not gonna draft a quarterback.”
The Giants have the sixth pick in the draft, and many suspect they could take one of the several promising quarterbacks with that selection, or even trade up. But Tiki believes signing the former Seahawks backup could mean that the Giants will use their top pick on a lineman or skill position player, and the quarterback room could include Daniel Jones and Lock.
Lock went 1-1 in two starts last season, completing 48 of 76 passes for 543 yards. It hasn’t been the most promising NFL career, but Tiki sees Jones starting anyway next season, as long as he’s healthy.
“It’s not about how successful he has or has not been,” Tiki said. “Drew Lock is still young, he’s a big kid…unless they just view him as a cheap throwaway at the end of camp…it feels like they’re building this team core - offensive line, defensive line - they’re gonna go get a skill position player, and they’re gonna ride it with Daniel Jones. That’s what it feels like.”
