If the Giants take any of the top QBs, they can still get a "king's ransom" for him after the pick, if some other team wants him enough. So if they take a QB, I don't think the Giants' night is over until around the 10th pick. I doubt they'll drop back any farther than that. But up to then, I think they'll listen to offers.
Remember that the Chargers drafted Eli and the Giants drafted Rivers to trade him. Similar scenarios could take shape here. The Giants could take, say, Allen, and trade him to, say, Denver. Or Arizona.
In fact, I'd be a little surprised if the Giants take a QB at #2 and don't trade him. Not upset, just surprised. There's huge demand for these QBs, probably more than they're really worth at this stage of their development. The Giants could well choose to cash in on that.
I think if the Giants draft Chubb, Barkley or Fitzpatrick, then their night is over.
What do you think, everybody?
Is if they find someone (like AJ Smith found the Giants) who is DESPERATE for that particular QB - BEFOREHAND
agree this a real possibility. Target an OL that is projected to go late in the first.

Into the very bottom of the first round too.

Except for Gettleman explicitly saying he doesn't want to trade future assets to move up in this draft.
There is no sleeping tonight until the broadcast ends. If the run starts on OL in the mid 20s as many project we may also easily find them trading up
Tonight going to be a nail-bitter
How do you know that?

of these QBs are Eli Manning or Phillip Rivers for that matter
How do you know that?
He doesn't, nor does anyone else. Sure looks good in print though.
You know this how? Rivers wasn't some cant miss sought after QB prospect. Just because he became a great QB does not mean he was touted as such during the draft process
Interesting, I did not know that. But they can still trade back into the first if they see an OL they really like.
So, in the words of Emily Litella: Never mind.
