Disclaimer!! 3 super high-level WR’s are available @ #6!!

shocktheworld : 4/22/2024 4:19 pm
Look, I’ve been as myopic as the next BBI’er about wanting/needing to draft our franchise QB…

So this might be just me shaking myself “awake” regarding the tremendous opportunity NYG has to add a TOP SHELF wideout to our team… worst case scenario we’re “forced” to draft Rome Odunze??? Good news is… he’s a STUD!!!
There is talk that each of these 3 WR’s would be the top WR in many past draft classes…

So worst case scenario we are gaining a stud player in a top 2 area of need for our team? Let’s just enjoy the process and hope Schoen maximizes this draft class, regardless of QB involvement … imagine if we score Nabors?? He’s Jamarr Chase, Jr.

Let’s go BBI!!! We’re in great shape regardless, and that’s me still praying we can trade up and get Maye hahah, but if that doesn’t happen, we have a terrific player at #6 and all our existing draft capital to build the squad.

I’m not so doom and gloom when I put this all into context, hope it helps!
Agreed.

Our worst case scenario is getting a potential all-pro.
Those guys are great  
Darwinian : 4/22/2024 4:24 pm : link
it will be even better if we can also grab Penix a little later.
I agree 100%!  
DonnieD89 : 4/22/2024 4:28 pm : link
Will be happy with any of these three. And the funny thing is that some of these teams ahead of us will probably regret their selection while these three wide receivers have a significant chance of being All Pro.

I'm learning today is Giants fans who want a QB don't want to trade up for McCarthy (who is likely to be the last QB standing unless the Pats do something weird).

In that case, get ready for Nabers, Odunze, or a trade down.

In that case you can get an All.-Pro talent but he isn't going to be an All-Pro with Jones throwing the ball to him. That is my biggest concern.

Add to it, Jones's struggle with TD passes and points throw the air will be magnified if his running is being held back because of the knee or the neck.. That is a horrible combination..

Trade back- load up elsewhere and grab one of the other QB's (Rattler might end up being the guy at #70)..
Adding a WR talent is fine  
Sammo85 : 4/22/2024 4:33 pm : link
But people need to temper expectations on dynamic game changing impacts and elite production with the QB room we have.

Any WR addition only works if it gets paired quickly with a true/legit plan at QB (and not in another 2-3 yrs).

And lets see what they think of that decision in October
That's what I've been banging the table for weeks  
gpat1031 : 4/22/2024 4:43 pm : link
Don't get cute. If you cannot get Maye or Daniels do not reach for McCarthy, I'm not buying the hype. Secure a #1 WR.
Do you see how much you have to pay for this position on the open market?
30 mil+ if 1 comes available.
Take 1 of MHJ,Nabers Odunze and build the roster when you have another shot at getting another QB. You could get a shot at Penix later, I'd rather take that risk later cause at least you secured your WR of the future and that's no longer on the shopping list. Let's be smart about this.
whose to say 2 teams dont trade up to 4 & 5 for QB.  
totowa_gman : 4/22/2024 4:47 pm : link
If that is the case MHJ is a giant.

Eric you posted a thread on Maye vs McCarthy and who Giants fans prefer. My count was Maye 46-42. Seems pretty close to me.
I'm in the minority of being willing to trade up for JJM.  
LW_Giants : 4/22/2024 4:49 pm : link
However, I get the concern about his meteoric sudden rise. I just struggle with the WR pick this year given our QB room and other holes. Plus, I think the plan has to factor in what we're going to do next year when we'll be back in the QB hunt.

Abso"F-ing"lutely.



This team has been looking for a high end WR  
eric2425ny : 4/22/2024 4:53 pm : link
for several years now post OBJ. If the QB isn’t there just take one of these top receivers.
Trade up for JJM?  
gpat1031 : 4/22/2024 4:54 pm : link
I don't even want him at 6
This kid is being overhyped and somebody is going have to eat that, I don't want it to be the Giants.
And who is the QB throwing it to him?

Andrew in Austin : 4/22/2024 5:08 pm : link
The Giants go hard in free agency and/or draft next year if the QB they want isn’t there. Too many notes about Schoen and Dabolll’s job security.

This isn’t the last NFL draft. They can’t force a QB. If it’s not there you punt to next year’s draft. If they don’t see a franchise type QB you’re better off waiting than wasting three or more seasons because you were dead set on drafting a QB. We just saw this with our selection of Jones.

But on the other thread, fans don't want trade up for McCarthy.
so basically

Bingo!!!

Everybody knows that  
Sam Huff : 4/22/2024 8:36 pm : link
Picking a QB is a complete crapshoot and you have no idea of what you are getting. But by picking a wide receiver, we know EXACTLY what we are getting.
I think the 3 QBs will be off the board  
cjac : 4/22/2024 9:02 pm : link
I also think something weird happens after that (JJM or possibly Bowers gets drafted)

I have a feeling we have our choice between between Nabors or Odunze

Hope we don’t eff this up

it might be JS and BDs last NFL draft as Giants staff if they don't get a QB.
