Less than an hour before the latest quarterback domino dropped, an NFC talent evaluator made their case: Jameis Winston is well-suited to be a bridge quarterback.

Winston’s unique personality, the evaluator reasoned, would energize a team. His high-octane potential could give the franchise early hope. But then, as reality set in in the form of weekly multi-interception games, the Giants would have a smooth path to saying: Bench the turnover-creating veteran and start the rookie.

To Giants, is Shedeur Sanders too coveted or not coveted enough?

If the Giants believed that Sanders will be available with the third overall pick, and that he merits such prime draft capital, it seems unlikely that they would have signed Wilson.
