If the Giants select a QB at #6, would there be a WR you

barens : 3/27/2024 9:32 am
would want to trade up for in the second round? I know some are worried about giving up too much draft capital, but if a player like Ladd McConkey were available at the top of round 2, would you be ok with the Giants trading up?

It's a deep WR class, but sometimes that means there could be a big run on them at some point, probably before their 2nd round pick.
It's a deep class, so I don't mind think a trade up would be necessary  
Anakim : 3/27/2024 9:35 am : link
But obviously I'd love Keon Coleman or Xavier Legette
To take that swing, I'm looking for a potential #1  
JonC : 3/27/2024 9:37 am : link
big, fast vertical do it all threats, Legette and Coleman both fitting the profile.
Worthy, Coleman, Franklin, Leggette

Say if Leggette and Coleman are the top 2 WR's available at the top  
barens : 3/27/2024 9:39 am : link
round 2, are you waiting for them to fall all the way to 47?
Xavier Worthy

Love Leggette in rd 2 but dont think he will drop  
Jim in Forest Hills : 3/27/2024 9:43 am : link

I mean, McConkey is 6'0, Robinson is 5'8, but either way whoever it is you'd want the Giants to select at that position, would you trade up?

I think there will be good WR's, but my thinking is that some of the better WR's will be off the board, Coleman, Leggette, McConkey, Worthy...are you ok staying put and possibly getting Roman Wilson or Malachi Corley?
McConkey reminds  
Breeze_94 : 3/27/2024 9:50 am : link
Me of Victor Cruz. Big play guy in the slot.

In R2, I like Keon Coleman. His slow 40 might allow him to drop a bit. But don’t think he makes it to 47. He was incredible running the gauntlet, the most important drill for a WR IMO. I do believe the Giants met with him at combine as well, remember seeing it somewhere.

If they don’t trade up, I’d keep an eye on the two UW guys who played alongside Odunze.
I'd have zero issue picking McConkey  
JonC : 3/27/2024 9:52 am : link
and upgrading the slot over the smurf.

At the same time, the #1 WR is a bigger need right now and they might have a shot at one in the early second round.

Yes, there are very few players on the roster right now who warrant resting on laurels.
Ludicrous  
Maggot Brain : 3/27/2024 10:07 am : link
to draft another slot receiver with so many other holes to fill. If the Giants can't get the QB they desire, they need to draft one of the top three wideouts to pose a legitimate threat offensively. If they get the QB, look for corner to bookend Banks or a receiver who can play outside, not inside.
It's all about talent and fit  
JonC : 3/27/2024 10:09 am : link
not about "filling holes" because it's convenient. It's not a plug and play game.
Let’s stipulate that what we think  
81_Great_Dane : 3/27/2024 10:11 am : link
doesn’t reflect what the Giants are thinking.

If the question is: Trade up in the 2nd for a WR? I say no. But everything depends on who’s on the board and what it costs to move around.

You don’t draft a position, you draft a a player. Some WRs may be worth moving up for, others not. I think there’s going to be good value available at DT and that is also a need. But again, it depends on who’s still on the board.

Given the deep pool of WRs and the diversity of talents they bring to the table, it might be WR in the 3rd. Trading up in the 3rd makes more sense to me if they love someone who’s available early in the round.
I wouldn't trade up unless  
Jay on the Island : 3/27/2024 10:16 am : link
it was a few spots. I would target Legette, Franklin, and Corley.

Personally, no. I'm not a fan of Wilson and I do like Corley as he's fantastic with YAC, but he's more of a slot guy, IMO. I'd like an X receiver.
McConkey would interest me  
Dave on the UWS : 3/27/2024 10:17 am : link
because I think he can play inside and out. Wan'dale is strictly a slot guy. So I can see situations where they both can be on the field.
 
ryanmkeane : 3/27/2024 10:31 am : link
I think Coleman is going to be a good pro. Would be shocked if he’s there at 47 and would love it.
I don’t think McConkey makes it to round 2  
Rick in Dallas : 3/27/2024 10:38 am : link
He would be a perfect fit for Chiefs.

IMV, Ricky Piersall of Florida would be a great pick at 47.
He seems to be underrated a bit by BBI crowd.

I like this list as well, I was watching Bo Nix a couple weeks ago and all I walked away with was, Wow who is that Franklin kid. He made Nix look good a lot of times, several under throws where Franklin had to comeback to the ball. He is thin/light, but he is fast and has awareness.

Totally agree with all these WR and will add Coleman.
It's a no brainer  
Fifty Six : 3/27/2024 11:11 am : link
You have to be willing to move around to get your guys. That's how we got Tae Banks last year.
Wait until the 3rd  
Pete in MD : 3/27/2024 11:15 am : link
and take Luke McCaffrey. Those dudes are always pretty good.
Troy Franklin  
Dankbeerman : 3/27/2024 11:19 am : link
Devontez Walker

And look at Cowing later rds as a second slot guy similar to Wandale
Sure.  
ThomasG : 3/27/2024 11:29 am : link
Quality over quantity. Roster needs to get a whole better.
Adonai Mitchell  
Andy in Halifax : 3/27/2024 11:40 am : link
Or Brian Thomas.

Maybe the trade up is too steep to get either? But I like both prospects a lot.
Legette at 47

BlueManCrew : 3/27/2024 12:19 pm : link
Guys mentioned In this thread that all could be potential first rounders on any given year. This year I think we’re very fortunate and will have at least one of them available at 47. The guy I would move up for into the middle second is Adonai Mitchell. High end speed, good size, and roasted pro caliber Alabama corners.
Troy Franklin  
gameday555 : 3/27/2024 12:41 pm : link
I see a bigger Stefon Diggs. Most underrated player in class to me.
Adonai Mitchell, Troy Franklin, Xavier Leggette, Keon Coleman  
BleedBlue46 : 3/27/2024 12:53 pm : link
Those would be the 4 I'd be watching

I hear you, but most years, when a position is very deep, there ends up being a run on that group, so it evens out.
No reason to trade up for a WR  
JerrysKids : 3/27/2024 6:00 pm : link
you are mortgaging your future by trading up. We have too Many holes to fill to lose any draft capital.
