The Titans were never going to exchange the overall choice n ° 1 once they settled on the quarter-rear of the University of Miami Cam Ward, but that did not prevent the giants from trying.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Titans offered the choice n ° 3, their first round in 2026 and “other choices” to mount two places.
The director general of the Giants, Joe Schoen, recognized the giants called the Titans.
“Yeah, we have had conversations that go up and come back, and again, two for Tango in these situations,” said Schoen in a transcription of the team, “and yes, there was none … Tennessee remained and took Cam Ward.”
The giants remained in place and took the rusher of Penn State Edge Abdul Carter.
Schoen would not say that Carter was the best player in the team’s draft painting – with Ward the probable objective in n ° 1 – but he said that he was “definitively” in the Top three.
The giants ended up obtaining their quarterrier later in the first round, exchanging with Houston to obtain the 25th choice to write the quarter-arre of Ole Miss Jaxson Dart.
“We exchanged for him. We are delighted to have him,” said Schoen. “It has a lot of creation of a good quarter-arre, and there is a long way to go. There is a development process that it will have to pass. Again, these offenses are not easy to learn, and the execution must be at a high level.”
The Giants quickly appointed Russell Wilson their starterAfter having signed the Super Bowl winner quarterrier in the free agency.
But the giants were satisfied with the way the draft played for them despite not having reached No. 1.
