Best Twitter reactions from fans after New York Giants take Daniel Jones with 6th pick
Guess the Eli Manning era is over.
The New York Giants found his replacement after they took Duke quarterback Daniel Jones with the No. 6 pick during Thursday’s NFL Draft in Nashville.
They passed on Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins.
Kyler Murray, who went No. 1 to Arizona, finished last season with the second highest passer rating among qualifying quarterbacks. Haskins was fourth. As for Jones, he was 66th.
Haskins finished last season with 70 percent passing completion and a 9.1 yards-per-attempt average. Jones ended the year, 60.5 percent and 6.8 yards per attempt.
So naturally, New York fans took to social media to express their opinion; some were hopeful while others won over the internet.
That being said what is done is now, management believes Daniel Jones is the guy for the future. I am rooting for Daniel to ball out and prove me and many other Giants fans wrong and management correct. Wishing him nothing but the best in his time in New York as a Giant.

I think the Giants misunderstood what everybody meant when they said “New York needs to tank to draft that guy from Duke”

@giants (2018 Draft) DG, what do you think about drafting a potential franchise QB in Darnold, Allen, or Rosen? "I like these guys, but I have got my eye on 2019" Ok, making a play on Murray or Haskins? "No, remember this name.. Daniel Jones" #Giants

Wow! How did the @Giants manage to make 3 first round draft picks and have no one be excited about any of them?! Congratulations Dave Gettleman, you’ve figured out how to ruin a @NFL fan’s weekend in April. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2019 #GiantsPride

So the giants really drafted Daniel Jones 6th overall, and over Haskins. That was indeed not a dream. pic.twitter.com/WRK85PIy3R

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. #NFLDraft
The only resemblance Daniel Jones has to Eli Manning is his Intereception to TD ratio!! @Giants

It frustrates me how irrationally angry and opinionated people are getting about the Giants picking Daniel Jones no. 6. Don’t assume anything just yet. Give the kid a chance to prove himself and hold your own until there’s reason to be angry.

I think I figured out what the Giants saw in Daniel Jones pic.twitter.com/dpRSzpr9J5

I've never seen a rotating cast of analysts across multiple networks all trash a draft pick the way they are today. Poor Daniel Jones doesn't deserve this but man the Giants seem to have messed up.

If the Giant's 6th overall pick in the draft, Daniel Jones turns into a bust his nickname should be "Pick 6"
