In all likelihood, the first quarterback chosen in the upcoming class will be Oregon's Justin Herbert.[/I] [I]Imagine an offense with Herbert behind center, in a backfield with Saquon Barkley, and targets Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard, and Evan Engram. Perhaps adding Herbert would finally untap the Giants' skill-players' prolific potential. [/I] [I]Herbert has prototypical NFL size, mobility, arm-strength, and quick-decision making that gives him the chance to start right away, while Barkley's presence in the offense should hasten his development. [B]1) Kyle Lauletta[/B] Even if the Giants invest a premium first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, they would be wise not to rush a Herbert, Lock, Grier, or Stidham into action before they are fully comfortable both with the system and the speed of the NFL. [/I] [I]This is why playing Lauletta for as many games and snaps as possible in 2018 is critical: both to evaluate whether he has the potential to become a franchise quarterback, which would allow the Giants to take one of the premier pass rushers such as Ohio State's Nick Bosa or Houston's Ed Oliver, if they are on the board, but also to prepare him to be a competent bridge quarterback if the organization views one of the passers in the upcoming class as a franchise QB. [/I] [I]Playing Lauletta at the start of next season would also mitigate having to spend valuable cap space on a veteran quarterback, who would likely be a short-term answer rather than a long-term solution.
