Dust settles, and... it's Daniel Jones' last chance Go Long

Now is not the time to hyper-analyze and agonize over OTA reps. While tempting, it’s dangerous to watch a few 7-on-7 throws and make bold proclamations about a quarterback’s “chemistry” with a rookie receiver. However, this is a perfect opportunity to take a deep breath and see where a few teams stand post-draft because not every team got what it wanted on draft day.
Hello, New York Giants. A club that tried and failed to trade up for North Carolina’s Drake Maye.
We’ve spent plenty of time vacillating over Daniel Jones’ future here at Go Long. His career appeared all but finished in NY at the end of Dave Gettleman’s tenure, Brian Daboll helped resurrect his career, Joe Schoen believed with a big contract and yet the Giants still felt compelled to explore the possibility of Maye after another injury-marred season.
The Giants can theoretically move on after this 2024 season. Ushering in a rookie made sense.
Instead, Schoen could only go so far with his trade offer.
Instead, Eliot Wolf refused to move off the No. 3 pick and took his QB.
Where does this leave the Giants? And how is the entire NFC East shaping up? It’s hard to make much sense of the Dallas Cowboys’ inaction. We discuss all of this (and “Beach Metal Detector Guy,” Mike McCarthy, Jayden Daniels, Mike Tolbert and Caitlin Clark) on the Go Long Show with longtime NFL personnel man Jim Monos.
Quick programming note: I’m on the road in Florida for stories you’ll see over the coming weeks and months. Cannot wait to share. A lot planned. After the mobile microphone broke in the carry-on bag — and after a rat race for a replacement in Jacksonville — the sound’s not quite as crystal-clear as usual. But it’ll get the job done and the show must go on.
Thank you for listening, everyone.
