Co-owner John Mara said at last month’s NFL owners meetings that he “certainly would support” the Giants taking a quarterback at No. 6 or higher if Schoen and Daboll fell in love with one.

“I think you can get into trouble when you try to think too much about some of those things and how it all works out, and your antenna for some of those dynamics and relationships,” Jones said Monday.

“I’m just focused on what I’m doing, and that’s my rehab, getting healthy, spending time with the guys and making sure we’re getting on the same page, having the best spring we can. I guess that’d be a better question for Joe and (Daboll), but I’m focused on what I’ve got to do.”

The draft’s top three picks are owned by quarterback-needy teams in Chicago, Washington and New England. Minnesota, meanwhile, boasts two first-round picks (No. 11 and No. 23) as potential trade-up ammunition.

North Carolina’s Drake Maye and Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy are among the prized pass-throwers most often connected to the Giants.

Jones, who spoke during the first day of the Giants’ voluntary offseason program, said he hasn’t experienced any setbacks in his rehab for his surgically-repaired knee, and added his neck feels 100% following last season’s “stinger-like” injury. Jones previously missed the final six games of the 2021 season with a neck injury.

He said Monday he hopes to participate in drills this spring, but Daboll declined to commit to that.

“It’s day-to-day with these injuries,” Daboll said. “Come in and be improved from where you were the day before, and I don’t think too far ahead with that. He’s been in meetings. He’s rehabbing. He’s doing his stuff. Tomorrow we’ll see if we can do a little bit more and next day we’ll build off of that.”

Daboll did say the quarterback is “making strides” in his recovery and “doing everything we need him to do” — sentiments Jones echoed.

“I’ve been throwing for quite some time now,” Jones said. “Was throwing stationary pretty soon in the rehab process, but have progressed and I’m throwing with movement and dropping, and kind of quarterback-specific drills, so that feels good. It’s coming along well.”
