Rapoport: Giants want to stay at 2

BeckShepEli : 4/26/2018 1:53 pm
#Giants coach Pat Shurmur told reporters he’s “planning on picking at No. 2.” At this point, it seems like: 1. There isn’t a lot of interest in coming all he way up to 2. 2. The Giants want to make the pick.
He's

basing that on Shurmur's Q&A (already posted). No special insight from Rapoport.
hahaha

I love it...no one knows.

But it is better for trade discussions if you leak out you want to make the pick. Force someone to make you trade out of it...you don't want to lose leverage that you want to trade out of it.
Rapoport is a clown

he usually nails it....haven't seen anything from him.
Not Pat Shurmur’s call

But could happen.

I’m in the trade down or Barkley, Nelson, Chubb camp. (In that order)

The 1 and 2 points are from Rapoport
Most likely picking Barkley  
Nysportsfn13 : 4/26/2018 1:59 pm : link
at 2
These reporters are ridiculous  
George from PA : 4/26/2018 1:59 pm : link
I suspect....the Giants are open for business.

Especially if Darnold will now be available.

He’s very busy these days with work and family. He’s also intimated he’s gotten very little info or heads up on things since the regime change.

he never said they want to stay at 2. The rumor said there is little interest. My god, hear what you want from anything said I guess.

More than intimated. I asked flat out. He said it's never been this quiet for info. He doesn't have anything and he's open about that.

If the giants want to trade down, they dont want anyone go know for sure to get a better deal.

It sounds like the bills have spoken to giants, broncos, and colts. Giants pick would be a premium since its ahead of the jets. Ill bet the giants want 3 first round picks for that. For others its likely just 2.

Bills deal may hinge on who cleveland takes. If the guy the bills want is there they may go 3 first round picks.

They likely talked to arizona. They probably offered two first round picks. However, the giants probably want something else.

Yup, Hitdog never (rarely) starts new threads. He looks for threads he can add "color" to. The good news is that very little news is coming out of our front office draft wise.

It’s a love hate thing I love not knowing what we are doing for once but love hearing stuff whether it happens or not
It's crazy how little we know about what the Giants will do

good job by DG keeping a lid on things.
I repeatedly read  
joeinpa : 4/26/2018 3:45 pm : link
That if Darnold is there at #2 it makes the pick that much more valuable, which is then followed by a hope the Giants can trade down.

Hard to understand the logic of wanting a team who will soon be in the market for a quarterback to pass on said quarterback that makes this pick so valuable.

they stay at #2, it better be for a QB. Anything else is a waste.

I agree from a value standpoint. Hoping Quarterback tonight. Chubb has some value because you can’t find pass rushers and have to pay them a ton. Look at JPP and Vernon.
