drafted in higher 3rd round.
Some teams may have had a 1st or 2nd round grade on him.
Some teams may have had a 4th round grade on him.
Teams will be looking for QB's....teams like the Bills, Jets, Denver, maybe Washington if Cousins goes elsewhere, maybe San Diego if Rivers hangs it up, maybe Pittsburgh, Big Ben will be gone after next year.
Sy'56 may have a good educated guess on this.
If we keep Eli and draft Rosen or Darnold, it makes all the sense in the world to trade him.
Thoughts?
that didn't happen.
We had 100 of these threads when Nassib was here. It was the same thing. He didn't have any trade value nor does Webb.
So best case scenario? A 3rd round pick. But likely lower.
Jets= This years first rounder and next years first
Realistically, though, right now Webb probably wouldn't fetch a pick as good as the one the Giants used to get him. He wasn't a longtime starter in college, he never lined up under center at Cal, and he's never been in a real NFL game.
You're a real piece of #2, troll.
Webb
Rookie first rounder (Allen/Mayfield)
OR
Rookie first rounder (Darnold/Rosen)
Webb
The Packers were on the other side of a similar situation with Mark Brunell: they drafted him in the fifth round, then traded him to Jacksonville for third- and fifth-round picks after two seasons in which he threw a total of 27 passes, completing 12 for 95 yards.
The problem with Webb isn't that he hasn't played. It's that we have no idea whether anyone really wanted him a year ago. What we do know is that most teams passed on him at least twice.

I'm with you on your thinking....I think he has value.
His value would creep in once these QB's are off the board, which likely means 4th round at best. Then depending on the pre-season and what role he has may impact his value.
I don't think this is a viable discussion until day 3 of the draft at best.
I'm skeptical anyone had a measurably higher grade on him than where he was taken.
According to the metrics Webb, Darnold and Rosen are basically the same guy.
Trade down , get OL/DL/LB help. Give Webb considerable playing time.
If you look at QB's remaining - 3of 4 were late round picks.
Build interior , see if Webb can play , Is Eli willing to help future?
Also, no team had a first or second round grade on him or he would have been a first or second round pick. And since Jerry Reese was a gm who consistently reaches for players, I'd imagine no team had a third round grade either except for our brain trust. He's more likely than not going to end up like the vast majority of NFL mid round qbs- a clipboard holder. He's not Brett Farve and he isn't comparable to this years crop of qbs. Why would anyone give up anything for him when they can draft their own versions in round 6 or 7.
I'm skeptical anyone had a measurably higher grade on him than where he was taken.
because they might not have needed a QB.

why wouldn't they take him in the 1st or then definitely the 2nd or if they were among the 22 teams in the 3rd round before the Giants picked?

I doubt it. Not saying it's impossible, what do I know? but I doubt it.
For example the Patriots drafted Ryan Mallett in the 3rd round in 2011 because he represented "value" based on where they had him rated. Clearly they didn't need a QB. They drafted Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brisett in the 2nd and 3rd round two years apart based on where they had the players rated.
Teams often take QB's they have rated highly if they fall to them even if they don't need a QB.
I'm skeptical that a team had a 1st round grade on Davis and he dropped to the bottom third of the 3rd round.

I'm skeptical that anyone but Reese/Ross had him rated in the upper 3rd Round
Garrapolo went for a 2nd. A team is going to give up a 3 for Davis Webb?? Come on

If a team really liked him coming out of Cal, the Giants' handling of the Eli Manning situation wouldn't change that, especially since Webb figured to need a redshirt year anyway. Look at Brett Favre's rookie season in Atlanta: 4 attempts, no completions, 2 interceptions and a passer rating of zero. That didn't deter Green Bay from trading their first-round pick (#19 overall) in 1992 for the QB they had targeted at #35 a year earlier. In their view, a year of pro experience - and healing from multiple injuries - had enhanced Favre's value.

Is Webb better than Bortles ?

No one could possibly know the answer to that right now.
Very clever

Only if Kevin Costner was still running the Browns!
We have lots and lots of holes, we need our top draft choices out on the field making plays. We can only afford 1 developmental guy at QB.
