Do you want us to take a QB at number 2?

nicky43 : 4/26/2018 8:57 am
If so who is your favorite?

If not what player do you prefer?


Just wondering what the overall board consensus is. Thanks.

Yahoo! Draft day is here.
I don't want to wait until 2

Yes take Rosen  
GoBlue6599 : 4/26/2018 8:59 am : link
Who has the game of a Pro QB
No.  
AcidTest : 4/26/2018 9:00 am : link
But I am fine if they do. I'd trade the #2 pick if Darnold is still on the board.
Yesss  
yankeeslover : 4/26/2018 9:01 am : link
As much as I like Barkley or Chubb, I do not want to be in Buffalo's position in a year or two. If DG has faith in one of the QBs then you take him now.
If it's Darnold definitely yes.

I don't think we're gonna be at #2 again for a long time  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 4/26/2018 9:09 am : link
if these QBs are worth it...I think you have to pull the trigger here. We are leaving the Eli era and if Webb turns out to be really good, well thats just a nice problem to have.
Not Unless The Giants Braintrust  
Trainmaster : 4/26/2018 9:09 am : link
Feel as confident in one or more of them as the Giants felt about Eli in 2004. Eli could have been a bust, but the likelihood was fairly low.

All these QBs scare me in one way or another. Just go BPA and take Barkley.
110% yes  
GiantNatty : 4/26/2018 9:10 am : link

I can't believe this is even a debate. We have a 37 year old quarterback that is clearly at the end of his career. Behind him we have what? Hope that a 3rd round developmental QB will one day blossom into a franchise QB? Please.

This draft is LOADED with potential franchise QBs. You draft him tonight and we have something to root for for the next 15 years. Don't overthink this one. It's a layup - team at #2 with an aging and declining QB takes a QB in a QB-rich draft. Easy peasy, summer breezy.

And what's the alternative, a RB? How many great running backs have won a Super Bowl with an average QB? Whereas how many great QBs have won Super Bowls with an average RB?

A decent DE? If Lawrence Taylor was there at 2, sure, okay, maybe you draft him over a QB. Chubb is not LT.

This isn't even close. Get the QB of the future tonight!!!
Yes  
jeff57 : 4/26/2018 9:11 am : link
If not Rosen, then Darnold.
No...

Yes

yes  
Danny Kanell : 4/26/2018 9:18 am : link
Darnold
ONLY if the Giants evaluators who know best,  
Big Blue '56 : 4/26/2018 9:23 am : link
deem any of them the future, otherwise a big no
No. (I wouldn't hate it, but they really need to be right about it)  
Motley Two : 4/26/2018 9:24 am : link
I think Giants aren't ready to support the investment.
Too much for new coach & GM to get established first with installing new systems & new culture and a lot of other areas that need addressing that you're going to want to have fixed before you add a young QB to the mix.

Even if a QB sits for a year, it's hard to imagine he won't get shortchanged some in his development.

Trade Back.
Hell YES  
Optimus-NY : 4/26/2018 9:26 am : link
Darnold or Rosen better be the pick or else it's a remote thrower for me.

Harvest Blend : 4/26/2018 9:26 am : link
make the 2nd pick they have to take a QB. At this point I don't even care which one but it has to be a QB.
It does make sense to take a QB first  
MartyGlickman : 4/26/2018 9:27 am : link
Its the most important position, Eli is getting older and we have the #2 pick. When are we ever going to get this chance again? On the other hand, I would love to see a Giant offense with both Barkley and Beckam together. What fun! Also, Q. Nelson seems like a can't miss superstar on the OL...a weakness for us. I AM SO CONFLICTED!!!
Without a doubt yes  
NYG07 : 4/26/2018 9:29 am : link
They will have Darnold or Rosen sitting in their lap at number 2. This pick should not in any way trying to help a 3-13 team win the Superbowl in 2018.

It should be about securing the future for this team. For all the "warts" people talk about, people are forgetting how young these 2 QBs are. Eli was 23 when he got drafted, while they are 20 and 21 respectively.

They both have a much higher ceiling than a 37 year old Eli Manning. Do not be short sighted Gettleman. Take the QB.
I want the Giants to take whoever they feel is their #2 player.  
Brown Recluse : 4/26/2018 9:30 am : link
If they take Darnold - great.

If they take Rosen - great.

If they take Barkley - great.

If they take Chubb - great.

position

but not upset because itll be their choice..plus at 2 you're getting a good player most likely
the Giants have the #2 pick?

Yes they have the #2 pick and some think they are a RB or DE away from competing.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/26/2018 9:41 am : link
I want Darnold, but I'd be fine with Barkley.
NO  
wgenesis123 : 4/26/2018 9:41 am : link
But I expect the Giants to know better than me so if they do I will likely be fine with the pick.
Rosen

Agree, but I have to admit my smile would be bigger with Barkley.
Honestly don't see it with Darnold  
bigbluescot : 4/26/2018 9:43 am : link
he's an error strewn player with terrible footwork. Sure he shrugs off the mistakes but he makes them at an almost unprecedented rate.

You'd be banking everything on the notion he'll get at lot better at the fundamentals. Despite his prowess on the move, he's not fundamentally sound on a play by play basis.
Sorry missed the who do you prefer.  
wgenesis123 : 4/26/2018 9:43 am : link
Trade down, Barkley, Nelson in that order.

No offensive line,no running game, bad defense & terrible special teams, but some a rookie QB will absolutely flourish in those conditions. :)

that's a great problem to have
I like Darnold and Mayfield the best  
Mike in NY : 4/26/2018 9:46 am : link
If we go QB. The biggest question for me is whether even my top QB's are close enough to the player that I perceive as the most talented in the draft (Barkley) that the relative position value of QB and RB makes up for the difference. Personally I think Barkley is on a tier of his own with Darnold, Mayfield, Nelson, Chubb, Smith, and Vea all a tier below. The question is how close Tier 1 is with Tier 2.
Absolutely

lawndart : 4/26/2018 9:53 am : link
The Giants LOVE Josh Rosen. They think he is one of the highest rated QB's coming out in the last 20 years. After they pick him tonight, they will openly admit it.
I dont get why everyone likes Darnold  
NYG007 : 4/26/2018 10:14 am : link
He is a turnover machine. I mean, don't get me wrong, if he gets 2 rings in 14 years like Eli has (who is also a turnover machine), sign me up. But wouldn't you want someone who is not turnover prone as our replacement for Eli?

I want Baker Mayfield. The Giants will NEVER draft him, but I want him, Allen or Barkley at 2. Rosen I would not be upset at, but not a huge fan other than his arm. Which really may be all that matters.
Rosen,  
BIGbluegermany : 4/26/2018 10:24 am : link
he is my guy!We could get our new "face of the franchise" for only one draft pick.

if you're going to be dead in 3 years, you should do something else than watch football on tv...
Yes

They can't waste this opportunity.
Otherwise, cash in on the "ticket" by trading down.

Do they think that? Or do you think they think that?
No.  
Pascal4554 : 4/26/2018 10:35 am : link
Take Barkley or Chubb.
Darnold  
oldog : 4/26/2018 10:48 am : link
after Eli, would give us the advantage of continuity, turnovers, questionable footwork, but hopefully a couple of superbowls.
I want Barkley or a trade down  
PatersonPlank : 4/26/2018 10:51 am : link
A trade down with Denver, or a 3 way with Buff and Indy, would be interesting. I wouldn't be to upset with Chubb though.
Yes  
Danny80 : 4/26/2018 11:35 am : link
Rosen, but if the Giants aren't comfortable with him medically or otherwise, then Darnold.
No, But  
Percy : 4/26/2018 12:24 pm : link
If we do, I want Mayfield.
