What’s the future under center for Big Blue?

After passing on a potential franchise quarterbac­k last April and going with Saquon Barkley, the Giants may have another top pick in 2019 to grab a replacemen­t for Eli Manning. The Post’s Greg Joyce breaks down who may be worth keeping an eye on during Sa

Justin Herbert, Oregon: The 6-foot-6, 233-pound Herbert broke his collarbone as a sophomore, but has looked strong this season. Across three years with the Ducks, he has completed 65.2 percent of his passes for 5,330 yards and 49 touchdowns.

Drew Lock, Missouri: He has the prototypic­al size at 6-4, 225 pounds and landed on the radar with a breakout junior year in 2017. But he has been a bit shaky in SEC play this year, with no touchdowns and three intercepti­ons in two games.

Jarrett Stidham, Auburn: His stats are not as gaudy as those of his counterpar­ts, but he led the Tigers to the SEC title game last year and has drawn comparison­s to Derek Carr.

Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State: He’s only in his second year of playing, but the redshirt sophomore will be draft eligible. If he keeps playing the way he has been, declaring may be an easy choice. The 6-3, 220-pound Haskins has completed 71.7 percent of his passes for 1,919 yards, 25 touchdowns and four intercepti­ons. Will Grier, West Virginia: As a redshirt freshman at Florida, Grier failed a PED test, which ultimately led to his transfer. Through five games this year, he has completed 71.2 percent of his passes for 1,819 yards, 21 touchdowns and six intercepti­ons.

Ryan Finley, N.C. State: He could have declared for last year’s draft, but opted to go back to school for a fifth year as a redshirt senior. The 6-4, 212-pounder was ranked as the No. 1 QB prospect in August by ESPN analyst Todd McShay.
