The Tampa Bay Buccaneers owned the fifth choice, directly in front of the Giants. With about five minutes left on the clock, Gettleman, Shurmur, team president John Mara, senior vice president of player evaluation Chris Mara, assistant general manager Kevin Abrams and Pettit briefly huddled. When the Bucs chose LSU linebacker Devin White, Gettleman and Co. knew that Jones, the player they had targeted, was theirs. But they didn't immediately turn in his name, just in case they received a trade offer they couldn't refuse (and to comply with the league's request to wait at least until the five-minute mark to turn in a pick for broadcasting purposes). A trade did not materialize, so Jones became a) the first quarterback drafted by the Giants in the first round since Philip Rivers in 2004. Rivers, of course, was traded within the hour for Manning; b) the first Duke quarterback selected by the Giants since Dave Brown, who was taken in the first round of the 1992 supplemental draft, and c) the third QB chosen by the Giants in as many years, following Davis Webb and Kyle Lauletta. Webb was cut last year, and Lauletta is currently on the roster.
