PrimeTime101 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 So lets put us in Giants shoes and look at what they have. 1. They have an ageing QB but he has been given 2 more years. 2. Top end RB's are nice but will this RB be top end is hard to tell and the next tier is pretty good. 3. I am guessing they are getting trade offers from more then just the Bills. 4. They also have issues on there offensive line! so what do you do if you were them? Well I will tell you what I would do.. One minute left on the clock on second pick in round one.. Giants choose to trade with Buffalo and bleed us with every pick Giants can get out of us then hit there Defense hard in the draft while getting a project QB Like Lamar Jackson early round 2. In short.. If there smart? they don't make that trade till draft. There is no point in it.. there is no... Profit in it Thus Tighten up your whitey tighties loosen up them boxers Let the wind go through your hair. cause nothing is going to happen for at least another 35D 11H or so http://www.draftcountdown.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Giants have a young QB they like (Davis Webb) on the roster, was drafted in round 3 last year. They don't need another project. Personally I think "Blue Chip" talent is the most overrated notion in the draft. Seems like every year there's ~6 guys who are the "blue chip" guys. Seems like almost half of them can't stay on the field due to injuries or wash out because of off the field problems (Blackmon) or just aren't as good as people thought (guys like Dion Jordon). Meanwhile there's guys who are valued slightly lower at the position (Beckham vs Sammy) who are often times just as good if not better. Nelson may be a once in a lifetime player, but the last two guards who went top 10 as "can't miss" guys (Cooper & Warmack) missed. If you don't need a QB and someone is willing to offer you a "QB package" for a top pick, I think it's foolish to put all your eggs in one guys basket, regardless of how "can't miss" he may be viewed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I would give them 12 / 22 / 2019 1st / one of the picks between 53-65. The 2nd/3rd rounder they can use to get back up a bit if they choose. I just don't see anyone else in the league in a position to beat that. The Broncos would need to offer #5 / #40 / #71 / 2019 1st to roughly have the same value, but they have to feel good that they likely walk out with Baker as a worst case scenario right now and I don't know they would be willing to not pick till round 4 AND be out a 2019 1st just to move up 3 spots.

Mrbojanglezs Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Everyone who says so quickly that Giants should pick a QB put your self in a GMs shoes, there is constant pressure to produce a winning team now, these big market teams like the Giants don't always have the flexibility of waiting for the future to win. They may very well want an impact player to help them win now so the GM earns more years on his contract and not put a rookie on the bench for 2 years.

That would be insane for us to do but the Giants should ask. These QBs aren't can't miss. Questions on throwing motion, concussions, height and accuracy are too much to give away three first rounders + to move 10 spots. If we were to make this deal it would certainly be because we traded Tyrod and are stuck with McCarron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We most likely will take a QB at some point this year even if it is not at the top of the draft. If nothing we do QB-wise works out this year there is always next year with us having nearly 100M and picks we could offer to a team needing to unload a QB due to cap problems. If we can offer up salary to other positions next year then we can surely do the same for a QB who would be less of an unknown unlike a draft pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 This makes sense for the Giants. There are other good RB's, and getting someone like L. Jackson or M. White or Falk in the 2nd would be great for the Giants. Can learn from Eli for 2 years. Then the Giants can beef-up the O and D lines and add a RB (one of the Georgia guys>?). I can't see them drafting a QB at 2. It's like saying to Manning, "thanks for resigning, but we have given up on winning while your here. Teach this guy."

Eli has what? 2-3 years on his contract? They might ride him out and see. I highly doubt they will move on from Eli after this year, which means that Rosen isn't smart for them. Even darnold isn't gonna sit TWO years. The only QB who makes sense for them to sit for 2+ is Allen, and even then, I dont think they go QB @2. I just don't see it.
