Hypothetically we want Mayfield

Thinblueline : 1/22/2018 6:52 pm
How far can we trade back for extra picks and still get him, or should we just draft him at two...
Flawed thinking IMO

You take the guy you want when you're there.
I think

If you really believe that he is the guy then it doesn't matter in 5 years whether you picked a guy 2nd, 5th or 10th, so act with conviction and grab him with 2 and see how it plays out.
If you want Mayfield

ahead of Rosen and Darnold,then I would be happy to write you a recommendation for the GM job with the Eagles.
Even if Gettlemen and Shurmur like him,

I think Mara might balk.
Trade back as far as they can

Mara shouldn't be allowed to make any football decisions anymore. He had his chance.
My feeling he will be gone in the first 10 picks.

If you believe he is your guy you take him when you can get him. I think he will be a tremendous NFL quarterback. Regardless of what some others may think.
He is not going to be our pick

Why would you want a WR masquerading as a QB?

I'll take him in the 7th as a WR project
I doubt he will be on the Giants big board

Agreed
He might be there in the 2nd round.

This. If he’s your guy you take him at 1. You don’t play games and miss out on your top guy
Taking him at 2 is stupid unless you think he is  
wgenesis123 : 1/23/2018 7:34 am : link
(a) the best QB in this draft or (b) the only QB in this draft worth considering. Even if he meets one of those criteria it does not mean he has the value to pick at 2. That is an act of desperation. Hopefully the Giants will not feel desperate. If you trade down to get him you have to have other targets for that pick. Its a gamble but the whole draft is a gamble. He who gambles best reaps the most rewards. Playing it safe at 2 leaves you with one player for all that draft capitol who can get injured or just go bust. Anyone remember Ryan Leaf?
If you think he is the guy  
Sy'56 : 1/23/2018 7:51 am : link
Take him at 2.
The double-standard..

A board that has a running joke about Mara running off to a horse race instead of the draft now has him wielding veto power and an iron grip on the picks.

Which is it?
