What is the best scenario?

Miamijints : 1/18/2018 3:21 pm
So Pat Shurmur the "QB whisperer" is our new HC. What round 1 & 2 pick scenario would you choose?

Option A:
Rd. 1: Saquon Barkley Penn St. RB
Rd. 2: Lamar Jackson Louisville QB

or

Option B:
Rd. 1: Josh Rosen UCLA QB
Rd. 2: Derrius Guice LSU RB

or

Option C:
Rd. 1: Sam Darnold USC QB
Rd. 2: Best available OL

I personally like Option A.
Option C  
Jay on the Island : 1/18/2018 3:22 pm : link
Option B is intriguing but Rosen's concussion's make him too big of a risk.

The best scenario is that Schurmur ...

Evaluates Webb extensively before the draft and likes what he sees. Then we can trade down and grab an extra pick or 2 and get more help.
Seems like B is obvious choice...  
hitchchops2 : 1/18/2018 3:35 pm : link
...although Rosen plus O-line might be better
Won't Last till 2nd  
Bruner4329 : 1/18/2018 3:36 pm : link
Guice will be gone in Round 1.
Option A by miles  
Go Terps : 1/18/2018 3:39 pm : link
I'm going to say this again because I don't think it's getting enough attention: Lamar Jackson outrushed Saquon Barkley both last year and over the course of their careers and never missed a game. He is a Michael Vick-level athlete at quarterback who has shown as much or more durability than the other quarterback prospects despite the significantly higher work load.

To get both Barkley and (IMO) the best QB prospect in this class would be a coup.

So you want to cluster draft two RBs at the top of the draft?

Ronald Jones  
Marty866b : 1/18/2018 3:42 pm : link
If you want a runner in the second round Joes would be a great selection. He averaged about 6 yards per carry for his career and this year he ran for over 1500 yards,and 20 TD's. A very impressive stat is that he had 275 touches and ZERO fumbles. Jones is fast and tough which is a good combination.

I've suggested Option A several times.

That'd be my preference.
I'd go B, but Guice won't be there.

I'm almost positive he will be pending the Combine. He had a down 2017 year, RB's usually fall in the draft, 4-6 QB's might get picked in the 1st rd.

Drafting a RB at 2  
Rflairr : 1/18/2018 3:51 pm : link
Is just stupid in my opinion. It’s one thing if it was a weak draft for QBs. And I would rather gamble on Webb than someone like Jackson in the second round.

If you’re going to spend a number 2 overall pick on a RB you better damn well already have a good OL built.

Probably A because I thinks it's the most likely that could  
Blue21 : 1/18/2018 3:55 pm : link
happen. B and C sone of those players probably won't be there. I'd be perfectly happy with Jackson and Barkley
A  
Giants in 07 : 1/18/2018 3:59 pm : link
By far, in my opinion. Best RB, maybe the best QB in the draft
B  
jeff57 : 1/18/2018 4:00 pm : link
Jackson won’t be there at 34.
None of the above  
Giantslifer : 1/18/2018 4:02 pm : link
The Giants need to beef up interior of offense and defense.
trade down get all the OL/DL/LB you can over next 2 years
If there are reasonable FA's at those positions get them.
No need for QB at this time. Eli will be around 2 years minimum, unless GREAT trade offer.See what Webb has.
OPTION D
OL in FA (/w Shumur getting Teddy and a good knee in FA)  
MotownGIANTS : 1/18/2018 4:06 pm : link
RB in 1
BPA rd 2 thru 4
P in rd 5
prospects in 6 & 7

OPTION D


I'm in this camp as well. Wouldn't mind Fitzpatrick in Rd 1 either.

Trade back to 5 and take either Fitz or Nelson would be my ideal scenario. Then load up with players from there. We could possibly get three of the top 35-40 players in this draft plus whatever extra in next.
option D  
GeorgeAdams33 : 1/18/2018 4:30 pm : link
Trade down with Cleveland for picks #4 & #33, plus Joe Thomas. Trade down again with the Broncos or Jets, obtaining either the #5 & #37 or the #6 & #38. Trade back up so as to have the #5 or #6 along with another 1st rounder somewhere in the teens and still keep our own pick at #34.

I would draft LT-Mike McGlinchey, LG-Quenton Nelson, and C-Billy Price to go along with re-signing Jones, re-signing Fluker, and moving Flowers to RT.

How is Jackson the best qb prospect when some in the NFL think he’s ultimately going to end up at WR? HARD pass on this guy.
Easy decision for me

B or C.
If the Giants feel really good about Webb's future as a starter  
Ivan15 : 1/18/2018 5:02 pm : link
but iffy as to whether he is the franchise QB, maybe you go with a high risk, high reward QB pick. Rosen is the only QB win the draft who isn't high risk.

I would like to see Lamar Jackson try to be successful but I'm not sure he should try with the Giants.

Here's what we know about Jackson: an offense was run with him at the helm where he produced more than any of these other quarterback prospects. He was extremely productive against FSU and Clemson...it's not like he was only good against inferior competition.

I agree he's not the best pure passer, but there's an offense that exists where this guy destroys games. We know because he was basically a one man team and won a Heisman doing it.
I'd be stunned if Jackson lasts to round two.

If the Giants  
Phil in LA : 1/18/2018 6:13 pm : link
can get a franchise QB and franchise back in the first 2 picks, they had better do it.
Not A  
Clintqb17 : 1/18/2018 6:15 pm : link
.. I don’t see Lamar being a stud in the NFL for the next decade. He might flash but defenses will catch up to him. You must win from the pocket in the NFL.
Obviously B  
ajr2456 : 1/18/2018 6:34 pm : link
As Guice will he just as good as Barkley. Guice won’t last that long though
I'd choose Option D  
paesan98 : 1/18/2018 6:40 pm : link
If you think a QB has the goods to be a franchise QB, you take him, regardless what his name is or isn't. If not, then you go BPA for round 1 and 2

I like it too but not crazy about McGlinchey.
My option D  
Ira : 1/18/2018 6:55 pm : link
Round 1 - Saquon Barkley
Round 2 - Billy Price

This with a couple of good ol signed in free agency gives us a very good run game.

Add norwell or solder and draft Barkley....give Eli a run game plus improve the OL. Eval Webb one more year

To a run first qb like Jackson. I kind of believe in those types and love watching them play, believe me I do, but I'm not sure I want the Giants to build their team around that type of qb. It's risky. Tell me the guy is another Russell Wilson or Watson and that's another story. Most aren't.

djm : 1/18/2018 7:24 pm : link
Came into the NFL with a passers perigee. Jackson won't in with the polished passing pedigree, not by a long shot, arm strength be damned.

I won't cry about it, but I don't love the idea of taking Jackson. I'm sure I'd go bananas the first time he ran for 25 yards on 3rd and 12 but those qbs just don't exhibit any real staying power unless they adapt and adjust their game to fit the NFL.
Hybrid B and C.....  
Simms11 : 1/18/2018 7:25 pm : link
Take Darnold and draft Guice, if he’s there, if not the best available OLineman.
Even mike Vick  
djm : 1/18/2018 7:26 pm : link
Who is probably the greatest running qb of all time and a guy with a freakish skill set. Guy could throw the ball to the moon with the flick of a wrist. As good as he was, I wouldn't take his career arch if I'm drafting a franchise qb. Not good enough.
Option D

Lamar Jackson is not a run first QB  
Go Terps : 1/18/2018 7:59 pm : link
The huge majority of his runs at Louisville were by design. As a passer he was actually patient and poised in the pocket. I've posted this video comparing Jackson and Allen a couple times. Jackson is composed in the pocket while Allen is frantic...yet Allen is generally viewed as the better prospect. Watch the clips in the video...Jackson hangs tough in the pocket and uses his A+++++ athletic ability to create passing opportunities.

There are a bunch of non-elite passers making plays in the NFL because they can move: Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Cam Newton, Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson, Marcus Mariota, Tyrod Taylor to name a few. None of these guys is in Jackson's universe as an athlete, but he's in theirs as a passer.

Shurmur has the reputation for working well with different types of QBs...I think there's a good chance he'd get the most out of Jackson. And if we're talking ceilings, Jackson's has to be the highest of the whole bunch because his elite trait is much greater than anyone else's.

All of those QBs are trash except Wilson, Wentz, Cam, and Watson. Wentz and Watson are coming off serious knee injuries because of being the type of QB you describe. Cam can’t get over the hump because of his accuracy issues. Seattle went from a dominant team to now a fringe playoff team because they paid Wilson.
