Trade for #1

Giants1956 : 3/21/2018 9:17 am
If Giants feel that there is only 1 Franchise QB
should they trade up with Cleveland for their #1

How much would it cost?

When it comes to QB's, unless you are lucky and get a
Brady or Wilson with lower draft selections, it's going
to cost you either high or multiple draft choices or money.

No

Stop what?
Maybe Brown Hornet you should read at the top of the
forum, the Bills are looking to trade up to #1.

That came in after I posted my thread.

Don't pat yourself on the back for being conventional. :)

... would have Ben at #4. So, why give up so much when he had an acceptable option? Because he felt Manning was special. If the Giants truly feel one QB is above the others and risk missing on him, they have to consider a trade.
Quite the opposite...trade down makes more sense....

than trade up given the number of areas needing to be filled with quality depth.
How anyone  
PaulN : 3/21/2018 9:34 am : link
Can say it appears how the Giants feel is beyond my knowledge. I don't believe any of us know for certain and I am not certain the Giants themselves have made up their minds, yet some have this all figured out. I am not sure this will be settled until the day of the draft.

+1. Plus with so many holes, multiple QB options, and already sitting at #2, I don't see DG giving up high draft picks that could help the team.

The Schwartz article from NY Post. Giant Management
sits down with him and explains all of it's plans.
Then the readers of the article repeat Schwartz
'inside info'.
No need to if they think Cleveland likes a different QB  
ZogZerg : 3/21/2018 9:47 am : link
If they want the same QB, Cleveland wouldn't make the trade anyway.

What you are saying is generally true. But, when you don't
have your QB for the next decade, you have to get QB~

Perhaps we will find that new regime is much better at keeping their intentions a secret When they select a QB.

So either Barkley, Nelson or Chubb will be NY Giant.

Why would DG reveal his intentions to the world? To me, at least, doing so makes zero sense.

The track record of these 4 is collectively pretty abysmal. The Giants don't have the world's most plugged in beat reporters but usually Raanan and Ralph V are the most accurate of the bunch. Papa being a mouthpiece for the team typically tells me that if that was true, it's not what they'd want leaked a month before the draft. Afterwards, sure but you lose leverage in a trade down indicating to others that you don't believe in any of the QB prospects.

After the Floyd/Conklin fiasco they seem to have closed up a lot of the leaks. Last year the consensus was that they wanted Howard or McCaffrey but would likely pick Davis or Bolles. We can't know for certain since both players went before the Giants picked but Hitdog mentioned Engram and Peppers being targets before either guy was picked which leads me to believe that they learned their lesson -- finally.

If you remember last year the narrative was that the Giants wouldn't consider Njoku or Engram because "they don't fit what the Giants look for in tight ends". While on a much grander scale this reminds me of that. Drawing conclusions based on what the "Giant way" is or isn't.
This a true dark horse (outside the box)  
MotownGIANTS : 3/21/2018 11:17 am : link
but could they be thinking

Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama

DRC has to be replaced and the Eli Apple bet now needs serious hedging.

@2 is high, I think too high, but it would help solidify the back end for some years.
Seems many teams do think highly  
joeinpa : 3/21/2018 11:23 am : link
Of these quarterbacks.

If true Giants aren't going quarterback, hope they re the smart ones.
No one knows  
clarkie02360 : 3/21/2018 11:28 am : link
what DG is going to do. It's all speculation. Unless there's a trade prior to the draft, tune in Draft Night and find out because nobody knows who they really like or where their leanings are.
If you have a commitment to a QB, you have to trade up unless

There is a solid leak regarding the Browns pick, the Browns GM tells you who he will pick, or you are undecided about 2 guys.
