Did Giants Cost Themselves Top Pick with Win?

 It's the question Giants fans have been asking since Sunday's 45-33 win over the Indianapolis Colts, did Big Blue botch its chances of getting the top quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft. 

 No doubt the easiest route to securing that so-called "franchise QB" out of the draft is to have that top first overall pick in the draft, but as we all know, it generally doesn't guarantee anything. 

Sure Sheduer Sanders and Cam Ward are both very talented players, but let's not act like the 2025 draft class at the quarterback position is like the 1983 draft class, or the 2004 draft class, or even the 2018 draft class. 

There is no John Elway here. No Dan Marino. No Eli Manning. No Big Ben, and no Josh Allen. 

And when you look at the teams around the Giants, like the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, and Tennessee Titans there are no guarantees that any of these teams will select a quarterback in the draft. Meaning that there is a chance that either Sanders or Ward could drop to the Giants. 

Of course if Big Blue doesn't want to play the waiting game, they don't have to, they could always trade up, a risky gamble, but that is out there. 

So sure, winning on Sunday hurt the Giants chances of landing the first overall pick, but it won't stop this franchise - no matter who is running it -- from selecting the next "franchise QB."
