Either #2, #4, or #5. I don't necessarily think we need to go to #2, unless they really have their mind on the QB they know the jets will take. I am good picking ANY of the BIG 4. The Jets deployed the strategy of "oh, its not worth it for that QB" for years and instead went other position needs or settled on a later round QB. Now they're desperate. Mahomes, Watson, Wentz, Goff, even the bears. Teams have found their QBs. This is a passing league today, not the run and pound game of the past. Plus, Mcdermotts draft was super successful. Now he has Beane....we should have faith in their QB evaluations. I wouldn't worry, Daboll would not have taken the OC position if they didn't give him a choice at QB. They will draft someone, and Daboll much preferred benching Jalen Hurts (athletic, inaccurate QB)...so i doubt Jackson is even an option.

The only reason they shouldn't do something like this is if they really do want to take a QB. Otherwise, snagging Clevelands 4, even at the cost of 2 means they net a bunch of picks, and STILL get the guy they wanted because Browns/Bills/Jets are going QB. Its a situation that works for everyone except the Browns may need a little sweetener cause Beckham won't be cheap.

The NFLN scenario is best-case for their franchise. They could come away from 2 trades with 3 first round picks and multiple second and third rounders. It would be foolish not to do this, they could completely remake their team in a single offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Prisco thinks the Giants should trade out of the #2: Giants succession plan for their longtime quarterback (0:50) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 From Peter King's MMQB piece today: 8. I think it’s not probable but certain possible to think that the Giants could make two trades before the draft: with the Rams for Odell Beckham Jr., and with Buffalo for the second pick in the draft. Let’s say New York did that. And let’s say New York, in return, got two first-round picks from the Rams and three first-round picks from Buffalo. Three? Three! For Buffalo to move from 12 to two in this year’s first round, and to get a top quarterback prospects, the Bills, I believe, would have to deal the 12th and 22nd picks this year, plus their first-rounder next year. How interesting would that be? It would give the Giants quantity, and allow them to own the next two first rounds. As you see here: • In 2018, the Giants would have Buffalo’s 12th and 22nd overall picks, and the Rams’ 23rd. So three picks in the top 23. • In 2019, the Giants would have their own first-round pick, Buffalo’s first-round pick, and the Rams’ first-round pick. Obviously, in order for the Giants to even consider doing these deals, they’d have to believe they could eschew a drafted quarterback this year and Eli Manning would give them two more strong years (he’s slipped in recent seasons), and they’d have to have a willing partner in the Bills. Buffalo would have to be willing to denude the top of its next two drafts to get the quarterback it wants. I don’t expect both things to happen, but the Giants could do something historic this year.

Magox Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'll support the organization if they do this because I believe they have earned the right for that trust but I wouldn't be thrilled about it.

It reminds me of (Eagles general manager) Howie (Roseman) a few years ago (when he was moving up to land Carson Wentz)." Of course. Gettleman isn't interested in dropping all the way back to 12th overall, where the Bills currently sit after their trade with the Bengals. But if Beane can split the difference somewhat, then odds are quite good the Bills and Giants could be trade partners. If, say, the Broncos aren't convinced there is a quarterback worth taking at the fifth spot, that would be a perfect launching point for Beane. And that would be a sweetspot for Gettleman.

It will cost a whole hell of a lot to trade to #5 and then to trade again to #2. In theory, the three trades you'd make to get you from #21 to #2 would have cost you the following: From #21 to #12 Cordy Glenn and 1st #21 From #12 to #5 1st #12, 2nd #56, and 3rd #65 From #5 to #2 1st #5, 1st #22, and 3rd #96 And thats if they dont overpay on the value chart, which we all know is not likely.

My inference is they are doing extra homework on Baker to be sure they are comfortable "getting stuck with him" but are pursing #2. I do have to wonder if Gettleman will decide we are the only realistic option for a trade out of #2 and instead of our picks getting devalued to an extent (paying a ~20% premium to get to ~5 then another ~20% premium from ~5 to 2) he just decides to take all the picks for himself. Personally I think that's the best route for the Giants to take, take all they can out of us and go from 2 to 12, then if a player you really want is in the 5-6-7-8 range and the price to move up is reasonable, move back up.

HiddenInLight Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I wouldn't be pleased to give up next year's first, but as long as the target isn't Allen, I'd be happy with the result. The fact is that QB is the most important position in football, and you likely will not win a superbowl without a franchise guy. Do what you need to do to get the guy you think has the best chance to become that franchise guy for you. Worry about the rest later. As it is, this team is not bad enough to be a top ten pick next year, and the QB class is an unknown. You have the extra ammunition to get there, so do it!

Ga boy Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If any of these guys were considered can't miss like Peyton, Stafford, Cam or Ryan; I would say 3 firsts would be justifiable. Otherwise, let the draft come to you and see what's available in the 6-10 range. C'mon, let's not be stupide with the risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) 5 won't happen.

If Denver doesn't want a QB (and doesn't want Barkley), I would think they should take our package and run. Assuming the 4 QBs are off the board by 12, you are still looking at picking between two of Ward / Fitzpatrick / Nelson / Smith / Edmonds / James / Vea. If they have 6 of those guys grouped together as a tier, it's way better to pick the last one out of the tier while picking up more draft picks, than to take the first one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) If I am Denver I do not make that trade unless I am getting both 12 and 22 from the Bills. Then if I am the Giants, given what the Jets paid to go from 6 to 3, I would be looking for something similar from the Bills to go from 5 to 2. That probably means both 2's this year and #1 next year (given that the Bills' 2's are substantially later than the Jets'). So, that means 12, 22, 53, 56 AND the 2019 first rounder to move up to 2. That is a lot of premium picks. Edited April 2, 2018 by 2003Contenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing devil's advocate here. If any of the quarterbacks are left at #7, why would you give up picks to move up when the next five picks arent necessarily quarterback needy teams? The biggest threat at that point is Miami at #11 and I am not convinced they are as interested in taking a quarterback as they seem to be letting on in the press.

What if the draft goes Darnold, Rosen, and then Mayfield to the Jets? Think anyone is going to be calm about sitting there at 5 waiting for Allen? Who actually wants Allen in Buffalo and then what if they get jumped at 4 by another desperate team. So at that time the Bills would have given up multiple first round picks, A LT, and only received the 4th best QB available in the 18' draft. That's a steep price for a low floor high ceiling type of guy like Allen. IF three QBs come off the board in the first 3 picks I will not be excited at all sitting at 5.
