Six years ago, the Giants made three first-round draft picks, including a quarterback.

The difference between what general Dave Gettleman did then and what his successor Joe Schoen did this weekend — with his two first-round picks and a quarterback — is glaring.

Gettleman didn’t show the fortitude or patience needed and forced Daniel Jones at pick No. 6, instead of taking pass-rusher Josh Hines-Allen and later trading up from No. 17 to get Jones (Not that anyone is complaining about using No. 17 on Dexter Lawrence).

While former GM Dave Gettleman hastily selected quarterback Daniel Jones at No. 6, current GM Joe Schoen demonstrated greater patience and strategy with two first-round picks, avoiding past mistakes. </p><p>This reflects a more calculated approach to team building, emphasizing the importance of making thoughtful decisions rather than rushing into picks. #sports</p>
