I'm an unabashed Eli homer, but if the team finds its next franchise QB, go get him! Or how fun would it be to have a great running game again? It's been forever. Or a great pass rusher? Such a Giants tradition.
I admit, I'd be kind of disappointed with a trade down. Picking second is the only consolation for the misery of last season.
Lots of strong opinions on BBI, but to me (admittedly, not really an NCAA follower), it's all good.
Can't wait!
However, I could live with Chubb or Barkley and be happy if they do well. I don't see any of the possible picks as the next Ron Dayne, which was an obvious bad choice before the draft.
Where I disagree with you is the trade down. This is especially true for me if they can manage a move to something like 4 and still get a guy who would have excited me at 2. Somehow picking up 2 more guys in the top 60 or so players in the draft just to move down and get the guy they liked anyway sounds pretty good to me. @ 4 they could still be picking someone like Rosen, Barkley, or Chubb and I'd be excited about any of them.
