After the Jets/Colts trade, it seems like it would put the Giants in a prime position to trade down for a haul of picks. Will this happen? History points to unlikely.
David Gettleman never traded down while the GM of the Panthers. He was trained within the Giants organization and, as an organization, the Giants have been vehemently against trading down. Jerry Reese never trading down got attention. But, Ernie Accorsi only traded down ONCE in his tenure.
Overall, as far back as I could see, the Giants have traded down ONCE since 1990. That's any pick in the draft, not just first round picks.
Just something to think about...
Every situation is different.

18 teams traded down in last year's draft alone. 8 teams traded down more then once. That means 8 teams traded down more in last year's draft then the Giants have in the past 25 years.
There's a huge inducement to trade, but also a huge reason to go after one of the QB prospects. Very, very interesting.

Agreed it's a very interesting spot and I think there could be intriguing trades coming from Denver and Buffalo, I'm just not assigning a high probability the Giants pull the trigger.
With all of this said, I would not have accepted the Jets deal to trade down to 6.
But no QB. 'Webb will be at least as good as any of this
years class...." Spider how do you know that?
Quantity is not always better than quality
I'll trade you 1 Queen and 2 Rooks for 6 Pawns!
You're throwing darts. Your opinion is wildly reckless.
Fifteen years later, if the Mannings hadn’t dug in, no one would have made that deal.
I don't believe the Giants would sit at 2 and pass up a Major Draft haul in Picks Plus the #6 if they weren't thinking QB themselves. The trade to 2 would have been even Richer than the Jets trade to 3.
Assuming that the First 2 Picks would have been QB's at top 2...Browns, Jets.... with Indy taking 1 of the other "to
Browns BQ..,.jets QB... Indy....Browns... Denver...Giants
Indy, Brown, Denver--- Denver wilk take a QB...... that means that the Giants would probably have their Choice of Barkley, Nelson, Chubb at 6---Plus some other names, not to mention 3-5 extra picks over this and next year draft.
Logic sdays the Giants are at 2 because they love at least one QB---maybe 2!...and one of them guy may be available at 6!
At least in the first round though as far back as I can remember, it isn't often it's never.
