Go ahead and kill me because I know that's how it goes here but I know that at least SOME people appreciate any sliver of info.
Agents around the league apparently by this time each year can just mark down who the Giants are looking to grab. Sometimes they have thrown out smokescreens that catch a few people, but all in all in retrospect we know this since in the past it has cost us Leonard Floyd and Jack Conklin and left us with Apple and Flowers.
This year, despite the #2 pick my agent source says while there is real chatter about 2 players, that nobody has any real indication of which way the Giants will go.
Those 2 players? Sam Darnold and Bradley Chubb, in that order. I asked about the Barkley hype and that's supposedly a plan to force the Browns to take him @ #1 to get them Darnold, but that Barkley would be in play if the Giants trade down to the middle of the top 10, where Barkley's value really lies, as he is exactly a Giants type player- very clean prospect.
Go ahead. I'm ready.
**Grain of Salt alert** This agent source did proclaim that the Giants loved Myles Jack, so there is that.
I guess we'll see if this has any merit.
darnold sure.
darnold sure.
Not saying I do or dont want Chubb we have one pick if hes the guy they absolutely love you take him. Dont get cute and say we have to move down a few spots to take him thats how you lose out all together.
Personally Barkley Chubb Darnold or Nelson and Im happy. Put a gun to my head its Barkley but hey thats my opinion
Dont shoot the messenger, just passing along what I heard.
Darnold,Chubb..or trade down.

Heres what Browns writer @NathanZegura projects on teams website for No. 1 pick:
QB Sam Darnold - All along I have believed it would come down to Darnold or Baker Mayfield. I do think Mayfield was given incredibly strong consideration, but...Darnold too promising to pass.
Trade down
Chubb
Nelson
Barkley
If they can't stay high enough for Nelson or Chubb via trade down, then go Barkley or the QB they like the best at 2.
Darnold or trade down...which I am fine with.....trading with Denver would secure either Chubb or Barkley
If they take Barkley Id be ecstatic with the offensive firepower we could potentially have.
Trade down and I could live with It but it better be a HUGE haul.
Chubb in the defense we have run the previous number of years would be one thing. Chubb in this new D is a non starter. No thank you.
Trade down
Chubb
Nelson
Barkley
very close...
Darnold
Rosen
Trade down
Allen
Chubb
Nelson
Barkley
Quenton Nelson and Minkah Fitzpatrick
and each plays a position of great need.
Rest of the top ten are set at QB. Not a fan of 12, but there is always hope of a pre-draft trade that sets the BUF pick lower.

Do you mean trade up?
A QB is a whole different thing
This makes sense with the financials. Gettleman just ate a huge contract at DE and has another at QB right now.
Inking a plus player at either position is a tremendous financial advantage. Money that can be invested in Beckham, Collins or a UFA OL next year.
Thanks for the info. Keep sharing on dont worry about what people think. Not everyone in the organization knows whats going on and it could be a smoke screen but I appreciate it either way
Yeah, if they trade down to 4 or 5, he might be worth it.
Not sure I'd be a fan of Chubb at #2. I know Sy'56 likes him a lot and believes he can play both 4-3 DE or OLB in the 3-4.
My gut tells me its been QB all along. I keep coming back to the silence on QBs. Its not like we are hearing they dont like the QBs. We hear zero. Its under lock and key. And the Eli has years left narrative is hard to believe. Its a short sighted notion and these are smart men. Everything is aligned, the time is right to move one.
Yes
I hope this is bait to try and force Cleveland into dropping Darnold to us.
Points in a game since week 15 2015 but lets take a DE with the 2nd overall pick when the best running back in years is sitting there or a franchise QB for the next 10-15 years heck I would even take Nelson over Chubb
Exactly!!!!!! I should of read the full commemt before I posted mine. You are 100% on the money
Chubb is in play at #2.
Chubb is in play at #2.
I love offense as much as the next guy,but when the Giants win,they win with Defense. Chubb is head & shoulders better than any other edge rusher available. I've seen a couple of "experts" rate him higher than Myles Garrett.Now,if it's true that the Browns want Darnold/Barkley & are willing to trade the Giants a 2nd or 2nds for the switch from 2 to 4,I'm all in. You'd be able to get Chubb & more!
Wouldn't mine Chubb but at 2?

Damn, I miss the Fantasy Consultant
Interesting take. It seems like a lot of the draftniks have made it a point to say that Chubb isnt the prospect Garrett was last year. Curious why you think that he is if you dont mind sharing?

and scheme-diverse, meaning they believe he can play the Von Miller role.

Here's a good comparison...sides with Garrett but Chubb wins some categories and it's close...
