The New York Giants appear to be in a full-court press to secure a higher draft pick.

Connor J. Hughes of SNY reported that New York is "actively trying to move up for a quarterback," but he added that a trade is not guaranteed.

The <a href="">#Giants</a> are actively trying to move up for a QB, I'm told. I'm just not sure they can pull it off. <br><br>If Odunze is gone I think the <a href="">#NYJ</a> will trade back. <a href="">

The Giants have the No. 6 pick in the draft, so some potential trade partners could be the New England Patriots at No. 3, the Arizona Cardinals at No. 4 and the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 5.

From our NFL Draft Kickoff Show: The action starts at No. 3, as the <a href="">#Patriots</a> are still open for business. <a href="">

The draft seems likely to open with a run on quarterbacks. The Chicago Bears, the Washington Commanders and the Patriots all need quarterbacks and hold the top three picks. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings are a threat to trade up with the Nos. 11 and 23 picks in the first round.

A trade-up could guarantee the Giants a shot at one of those four signal-callers, but it would likely cost a haul in addition to the No. 6 pick.

The Giants have Daniel Jones as their incumbent starting quarterback, but they could cut him next offseason and be left with a dead cap hit of only $22.1 million, per Spotrac.
