Pat Shurmur and a large Giants contingent traveled to Columbus, Ohio, in May to attend Dwayne Haskins’ Pro Day at Ohio State. The Giants had the No. 6 pick in the draft and were leaning toward taking a quarterback. Haskins was in the running, but not ahead of Daniel Jones from Duke.

“We felt like Daniel was the guy for us,’’ Shurmur, whose comments about Josh Allen raised eyebrows in the Bills’ locker room a few weeks ago, said Wednesday. “We really, really liked Dwayne Haskins and what he had done in college. We had a very, very high opinion of him. We spent a lot of time on him. We chose Daniel, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t think very, very highly of Dwayne Haskins.’’

There is no doubt the Giants believed Jones was far more ready to play as a rookie than was Haskins, based on the disparity in experience (36 starts in college for Jones, 14 for Haskins) and the coaching Jones received from David Cutcliffe, a mentor for both Eli and Peyton Manning. Two games into this season, Jones is starting while Haskins is sitting behind Case Keenum for the 0-3 Redskins.

There is an outside chance, though, for Haskins to play Sunday. Keenum missed the Redskins’ walk-through practice Wednesday after suffering a foot injury in Monday night’s loss to the Bears. Haskins and Colt McCoy, who has been out all season with complications after breaking his leg last year, split reps.

“We’re being overly protective of the foot right now,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “Everything is pretty stable. Just got to rest it for a day.”

Gruden said he expects Keenum to play Sunday and he was unsure whether Haskins or McCoy will be the backup.

As for the Jones-Haskins comparisons, Gruden said, “These two guys were total different players coming out. Both of them very talented.

Dwayne played one year at Ohio State and I think, from a mental standpoint, it’s good for him to sit back and learn how to prepare and learn how to get ready for a game. He’s not far away and if I had to put him in a game I’m sure he could play pretty well.’’

Saquon Barkley was in Green Bay, Wis., seeing specialist Dr. Robert Anderson to get a second opinion on the right high ankle sprain that is expected to keep the star running back out 6-8 weeks.

“That’s typical of what you see these days,’’ Shurmur said. “Most often, guys get second opinions. They’re just not as public as this one is.’’

Gruden said one of the big reasons his team pursued Landon Collins so aggressively is the way the safety played against the Redskins.

“We wanted him because he was a pain in the ass, really, with the Giants,’’ Gruden said. “I thought it was a no-brainer to go and try to get him and we got him, thankfully.’’

The Redskins got Collins with a six-year deal worth $84 million, the highest-ever for a safety.

The Giants are dealing with some injury issues this week. LB Alec Ogletree (hamstring) and LB Tae Davis (concussion) did not practice. WR Russell Shepard (sprained foot) and DL Olsen Pierre (knee) also sat out. WR Cody Latimer (concussion) wore a non-contact jersey and was limited. LB Lorenzo Carter (elbow) was also limited.
