what could the Giants get in return for Davis Webb?

Andy in Boston : 1/16/2018 1:38 pm
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?

He has no trade value.

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.
Who had a 1st or 2nd round grade on him  
Mike from Ohio : 1/16/2018 1:45 pm : link
and then didn't draft him in either of those rounds? Regardless, his value started at a 3rd rounder since that is where he was taken. It's pretty safe to say that no other team has evaluated his practice work, so I don't know how it would have gone up.

So best case scenario? A 3rd round pick. But likely lower.
Depends on the team

81_Great_Dane : 1/16/2018 1:47 pm : link
if there's a team out there that really loves him. Brett Favre had hardly played in Atlanta, and played badly when he did, but then Green Bay traded a first for him (Though he'd been a longtime starter in college, which Webb was not).

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.

A conditional 7th.

If a team had him graded well coming out last year they may give up a last rounder. If we do pick a QB, which I hope we do not, it may be worth making a few calls.
He's probably the #2 in 2018...

AcidTest : 1/16/2018 1:57 pm : link
a fifth. Somebody would want him for his work ethic and arm strength. The problem is that it's a QB rich draft. Webb is nonetheless likely better than most if not all of the day three QBs who would be taken. He's also had a year in an NFL system. But it's pointless to trade him. He has more value to us than a fifth round pick, even if we take a QB at #2.
Pretty reasonable to think the QB depth chart next season is

Webb's lack of rookie playing time probably doesn't matter that much.  
Big Blue Blogger : 1/16/2018 2:08 pm : link
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.

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.

Means nothing. The team made it clear when they drafted him, that 2017 would be a Red Shirt year and he probably wouldn't see the field. The only thing that changed was that the team performance fell off a cliff, and as a results the cries to see what Webb started. Geno was brought in as the #2 because the team thought they would go deep into the playoffs and wanted an experienced veteran backup.
Nothing. Same as Nassib was.

His value this year is a tough call  
DavidinBMNY : 1/16/2018 2:43 pm : link
No experience, nothing to go on. Plus there are a lot of QB's coming out this year and a great crop of QB's at the senior bowl.

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.

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'm skeptical anyone had a measurably higher grade on him than where he was taken.

Webb value  
Giantslifer : 1/16/2018 3:02 pm : link
He has no value until he plays numerous games.
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?
At least  
lax counsel : 1/16/2018 3:10 pm : link
Julio jones. Plus an additional first rounder. Seriously, this guy couldn't hit the ocean with a football standing on the beach. His accuracy is not NFL standard.

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 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.

It takes two to tango  
djm : 1/16/2018 4:09 pm : link
But why is it so hard to believe they could get a 3rd rounder for Webb? He was a 3rd rounder and sat for a year. That's not an indictment nor is it a plus. If a team liked him before last year's draft they probably still like him now. But it takes two.
Nothing  
TyreeHelmet : 1/16/2018 5:05 pm : link
Maybe a 7th or 6th round pick. This guy didn't even beat out Geno Smith or get any playing time on the 2nd worst team in the league. Another bad pick by Jerry Reach.

Garrapolo went for a 2nd. A team is going to give up a 3 for Davis Webb?? Come on

Dragon : 1/16/2018 11:16 pm : link
Would not get you anything above a 6th or 7th round pick this year so is his value ever going to be more than that if you draft another QB most likely not. He becomes option B trade to a team which liked him for future consideration and time played for 2018, 2019 & 2020 starting with a 5th moving up your hoping to strike gold in a closed mine. This is all you could hope for why he never got on the field to show anything good or bad just a stupid move.
Now isn’t the time to try to trade him  
Peppers : 1/17/2018 12:41 am : link
Our best bet is to develop him and flip him for a pick later on or maybe he’s insurance Incase that #2 pick doesn’t work out. Either way it’s best we keep him.
Might as well keep him.  
illmatic : 1/17/2018 1:16 am : link
Especially if they're getting Shurmur. Even if whatever QB they choose at 2 ends up being a bust, maybe he can turn Webb into something. Plus injuries happen.

PatersonPlank : 1/17/2018 10:58 am : link
choices, from the last 2 drafts, sitting on the bench behind Eli holding the clipboard. If we draft a QB then lets trade Webb for something ,even if its with a player to sweeten a move for an additional 2nd rounder. If we like Webb, then lets not draft a QB and instead get an OL player and a LB in round 2.

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.
