Daniel Jeremiah not impressed by New York Giants signing of Russell Wilson

Jeremiah says Giants have gone “from vanilla to French vanilla”

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah is, to say the least, not enthused by the New York Giants signing of quarterback Russell Wilson.

During an appearance on the ‘The Rich Eisen Show’, Jeremiah said the Giants still have the “fourth-best” starting quarterback in the NFC East. In terms of whether they have upgraded from Daniel Jones, he said the Giants have gone from “vanilla to French vanilla.”

Jeremiah believes the signings of Wilson and Jameis Winston don’t preclude the Giants from selecting Shedeur Sanders of Colorado at No. 3.

“If you love Shedeur Sanders and you have big grades on him I don’t think this would stop you from doing that,” Jeremiah told Eisen.

“It feels so necessary that they win this year, and that’s why they’ve covered themselves with a couple veteran quarterbacks. It leads me to believe more so they are going to take another play to help them win this year.”

Jeremiah said the Giants could try to “have their cake and eat it, too” by getting their quarterback of the future by trading back into Round 1 for Jaxson Dart or another quarterback.

Jeremiah was not optimistic that Wilson could help Brian Daboll salvage his job.

“You’re the fourth-best quarterback in that division,” he said. “Where does that go in him vs. what they had in Daniel Jones? Maybe it’s an upgrade … I think they just went from vanilla to French vanilla. I don’t know that you’re going to get that much more impact.”
