Say we take Saquon #2, L. Jackson and M. Rudolph avail. @#34

Knee of Theismann : 4/18/2018 2:52 pm
Do you take either one of them?

Jackson could fall due to some recent bad publicity. Rudolph could definitely be there.

Some people believe Rudolph could end up being the best of this QB crop, very underrated.

Meanwhile, imagine Jackson after a year of learning from Eli/Webb/Shurmur, joined up with OBJ, Barkley, Shep, Engram, a much improved o-line by 2019. Wow that would be fun to watch!

My thought is this: maybe betting solely on Webb as the future isn't a great idea. But betting on Webb/Rudolph or Webb/Jackson? And each with 2-3 years experience before having to replace Eli? I might be willing to take that bet considering PS's past success with QBs.

I might get killed for this buy I really believe Jackson can be a great QB in this league IF he is in the right scheme with the right coaching and the right players around him. If he doesn't have that he could be a total bust. I really think with him it's going to be all about the situation he ends up in.
I was really high on Jackson before the combine  
Brown Recluse : 4/18/2018 2:54 pm : link
and would have seen this as a dream scenario. But not now.

Plus, there are still plenty of holes to fill, and #34 is basically a late first rounder. Much rather them find an offensive guard or maybe a cornerback.
Can either of them play the OL?

If we're not taking a QB at #2, I'd prefer to not draft one at all  
aimrocky : 4/18/2018 2:56 pm : link
but if DG and company have one rated high enough in the 2nd or 3rd, then I can be OK with it.

Haha. I definitely think in this scenario we would have to get 2 OL in rounds 3-4. Then every other pick should be best defensive player available.
Rudolph would be in the mix  
JonC : 4/18/2018 3:01 pm : link
Jackson would not.
I don't see a blue chip QB  
widmerseyebrow : 4/18/2018 3:01 pm : link
I'd much rather build the core of the next team so when Eli regresses or is gone we'll be in position again to draft a QB that we actually like. Who gives a shit about being above average in the meantime?

Are you saying there's no chance Jackson will be available or just that there's no way the Giants would draft him? I could absolutely see him slip out of the first round at this point. Perhaps unlikely but definitely possible.
I'd expect the Giants to draft the pocket passer

top priority has to be the offensive lien for whomever is playing QB. If they're going to take a RB at #2 the priority of the OL goes up even more.

I'd be furious if they took a qb at the top of rd 2, or at any other point in the draft for that matter.
" maybe betting solely on Webb as the future"  
Diver_Down : 4/18/2018 3:13 pm : link
That hypothesis is ignoring Eli as part of the future. Everything we have heard from DG, Shurmur, and Eli himself believe that Eli has "years" left. While the opportunity to secure a blue chip QB prospect at #2 is there, if none pass muster, then they aren't going to take later round flyers on future projects. While the idea of Manning continuing under center isn't a popular idea on BBI, the possibility exists that he plays beyond his contract. If with a revamped OL, WRs that aren't second tier trash, and an adult calling a legitimate professional offense, Manning might demonstrate that he is more than capable. With a marked improvement, DG might see an investment in Manning is a wiser choice of resources.

Jackson scored in the Stupid level of the Wonderlic, and that won't work at QB. Rudolph had a terrible Combine, and while I know the games are much more important, it's just enough to give me pause.

Only 2 things to take at #34 -- OL or CB.

But I wouldn’t touch him before the 3rd and by then it makes no sense. If we’re going QB, it better be for someone else.
I don't see the logic  
Mike from Ohio : 4/18/2018 3:40 pm : link
in taking a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round this year with Webb already on the team. If they do, it tells me they don't really see a ton of upside for Webb.

QB at #2 makes sense. Two 3rd round picks fighting it out to be the QB feels too much like a Kanell v Brown redux to me.
No

gmen9892 : 4/18/2018 3:56 pm : link
This is what I never understood about the whole Giants need to take an QB @ 2 argument. If you get two equal talents competing behind Eli to fight for the #1 spot, you are going to take the best of the 2 going forward.

Rudolph/Webb/Jackson all have certain traits that garnered 1st-2nd round speculation by several draft pundits. Why is it counterproductive to let 2 of the 3 fight it out for who the successor is going to be to Eli?

People said it was stupid for the Redskins to take Cousins with the 4th round pick in the same draft they took RG3.

The way I see it, high-end competition at the QB spot is never a bad thing.

Neither ...

At that point you are looking at QBs that are comparable to Webb. You go OL

Rudolph didnt participate in the combine due to a prior injury so you completely made up that up.

That being said, I dont want unless they want it at 2.
While Webb shouldn't factor in at 2  
AcesUp : 4/18/2018 4:25 pm : link
I think he should be a factor in their decision after the first round. There are only so many practice snaps to go around, so unless they plan on unloading Webb to get their developmental guy in there, I don't like it. A big part of the Jets/Browns recent QB problems stem from their insistence on collecting Day 2 QBs without really committing to an of them. I wouldn't want to see this team fall into that cycle.
Maybe Rudolph  
Eli Wilson : 4/18/2018 4:27 pm : link
Rudolph (statistically speaking) is the 2nd best QB in the draft behind Mayfield, with the same size as Allen. I believe there are questions about his arm strength, but on paper he looks just as good as any of the potential 1st rounders.

Lol at the stupid level of the wonderlic. I’m imagining teams meeting with him and saying “we love your athletic ability, but we feel based on your psychological testing that you are stupid”
I was talking about this exact thing recently...  
DigitaLx2001 : 4/18/2018 4:56 pm : link
Assuming the Giants aren't fully sold on the top QBs, I'd take Barkley and bet on Webb/34th pick at QB... or maybe even a better scenario, as much as Barkley is great:

Trade down a few spots if possible... grab Nelson, some extra picks, and have our QB hopefully between one of those two.

That's with all the typically disclaimers... assuming the Giants feel these QBs options at 34 are legit, have a willing trade partner, etc.

To me this sets the team up for long term success, especially with added picks from trading down a bit, and having a HOF-type of o lineman. Believe me, I really like Barkley but as many have mentioned nobody builds a championship team solely around a running back. I would love him any lower (if possible, prob not)... even a little bit, to grab extra high picks.
Jackson  
KWALL2 : 4/18/2018 4:59 pm : link
Would be great for Barkley.

I’d sign up for that combo.

Archer : 4/18/2018 5:02 pm : link
If the Giants do not draft a QB in the first I would not want to waste a pick on another developmental QB

Webb is enough and if anything the Giants may need an experienced back up


It is not likely that Jackson will be available at the second pick and the Giants have so many more pressing needs than Rudolph

GiantGrit : 4/18/2018 5:05 pm : link
think using a mid round pick on a quarterback is useless? Even with Webb on the roster? The Patriots have one of, if not the best quarterback in the history of the league. They draft qb's consistently. The strength of our offensive coaching staff is quarterback development now. Even if a guy only develops into a backup he can bring back compensation. Personally would love Lauletta in the third but i think he is gone before then.

Red Dog : 4/18/2018 5:20 pm : link
Use the picks on players who can actually help now.

Jackson will be a totally wasted draft pick no matter who takes him and in what round because he will not make it as an NFL QB and he can't play any other position. He would not even by on my draft board.

Rudolph probably doesn't have enough arm to play in the northeast in poor weather conditions. That's on top of the other concerns about him.

The GIANTS will need a 3rd QB for camp, so they should sign a journeyman like Matt Moore, who is still available last I knew, or sign a rookie free agent with a decent arm.

HomerJones45 : 4/18/2018 6:27 pm : link
If we take Barkley, it's because Jawn has made the decision to stick with Eli until the bitter end. try and win in the short term and worry about finding a qb later. If that is the case, you aren't spending a pick on a project qb to sit on the bench when you can spend it on a player who might help immediately. We already have the project qb.
I wouldn't be opposed  
BigBluesman : 4/18/2018 6:40 pm : link
To them taking a QB in any round. As they approach the end of the Eli era I would like to see a RG3/Cousins type situation where they have young options with potential at QB.

And what about the small chance that we could end up seeing Jackson at WR if he didn't become the QB? He's definitely an intriguing football player.
If that happens, someone will take Rudolph late first round  
Ivan15 : 4/18/2018 6:58 pm : link

Why is that a problem?

It’s a smart move in my book. Why pay some agent $300-500k? Give it to Mom.

Nothing tricky about the rookie deal. Bring in an attorney and his Mom can handle it.

I don’t see any off the field stuff to worry about with Jackson.

I'm a little less high on Jackson than I was earlier in the process here, but it's still something that I think I'd be excited about and could get behind.

I just don't feel like he's the type of QB NYG is interested in.

She's technically not his agent, she can't negotiate his contract with the team.

She can only be involved with Marketing deals and such.

She's more of his advisor and he's agentless.
