J. Schultz "Vikings more likely to keep 11/23" + Draft info

While I understand we would like to move on from Jones, it may be a mistake to do it this year. Look what happened to the Panthers last year and they will suffer for many years because of that trade. What about the Giants "forcing" the Jones pick? Just saying drafting for need can kill you. Also last year at this time the prevailing opinion was there would only be 2 elite QB candidates: Williams & Maye. Daniels and McCarthy were relative surprises. This will happen in 2025 and IMO there will not be as many teams looking to draft a QB as they will have invested in one this year. We forced the Jones pick and arguably lost either Tua or Herbert in the following year.

Win-win IMO. If they like McCarthy, take him. If not, maybe deal to Vikings for 11, 23, +, or another team

I've wondered the same.

Drafting Jones wasn't as bad as keeping him after ut clearly wasn't working.

But didn't the front office prefer Stroud but Tepper wanted Young? If Schoen/Daboll identify Maye or JJM as their guy, do it. If it doesn't work out, move on in year 3.

I’ve been thinking about the ultimate order, too. The chatter sure sounds like there’s a stand off and everyone will just keep their picks and select.

+2. It sounds like all or most of this chatter about trades could be just "so much sound and fury signifying nothing."

If NE takes Maye then the Giants should not try and trade up. SkyKing has said that the Vikings won't trade up for JJM and the Cardinals apparently want a ton to move down and risk missing out on MHJ. That isn't surprising. Despite all the recent chatter about Nabers passing him on some teams' draft boards, he's still the presumptive #1 WR in the draft. Some teams apparently have him as the #1 player in the entire draft, regardless of position.

If NE takes JJM, then the Giants could offer our #1 next year to move to #4 for Maye. I wouldn't, but it would be reasonable to do so.

I don't see other teams as potential suitors or trade partners for NE, AZ, or SD, except Denver. And if they made a "godfather" offer then we can't beat it anyway.

Because you assume they take JJM.... They may still take Nabers or trade down.

We have to many needs. Maybe if moving from 6 to 5 costs like a 4th or a 2025 3rd I do it, but that is it. If we don't get a QB then we don't. We will get really good players instead. If we walked away with Nabers, Orhorhoro, and DTD then I would be happy. We can grab a Joe Milton or Pratt in the 4th to give us another option to keep Daniels off the field late in the year. Then next year get a FA QB or draft one.

Hitdog

Hitdog. I think only a few posters picked up on this other guy. I'm not going to out him.

Consider it a "where's Waldo?" exercise for BBI.

how the heck did I forget about Hitdog?

What are we up to now? 6, 7 asshats?

Woodstock?

Classic meltdown after the Jones pick (which he assured us wouldn't happen).

What’s the saying about HOPE being a faulty strategy/plan? Because that’ll be the plan at QB moving forward: HOPE Lock/Jones play well while HOPING a lesser talent at QB emerges in 2024 for the 2025 draft.

Any ETA on Rico’s big post? Or when GoDeep will check back in? Remember in his last thread he mentioned that he would try to leave some more nuggets before the big event tomorrow night.

SKyking and stars and stripes have dropped some stuff but are you counting either of them?

As it should be (this year).

As much as I love the asshats, franchise QB is too important to f around about.

He doesn't know that we will see the massive run up for QBs that people thought a couple of days ago. He doesn't have that sense right now.

about Giants wanting Kwity Paye and said he had inside knowledge??

I think it was Jim in Tampa who has shared some info too.

This was Big Rick himself.

for JJM but isn't sure he'll be there so they take Maye with the understanding that they'd trade him to the giants for JJM and more if JJM is there at 6.

Not like that hasn't happened before lol....

If you do see him again, make sure to talk him into signing up on here, lol.

tempting as they want it to be.

I’ve heard a lot of opinions that this draft - while great at the top - only has 12-19 1st rounders depending who you ask. And then thins out again after the mid rounds.

So if you’re not getting a typical -st round talent with the 23 while also missing out on the blue chips, they don’t have much to offer.

1st round talent

Them types don't hang in our circles bro. Lol. Though in all seriousness I didn't realize one of my buddies is actually tight with him. Had no idea he knew that guy. Probably wanted it that way. I don't know if I'll talk to him directly again but I'll sure try and get some info through my friend.

you explain to the "newbies", about the origin of "Asshat",
its still a pretty funny story.

And I don't have any Giants inside info. Just rumors that an NFC front office member shares with me.

Why? They don't have any ammo. Where they could be a factor is picks 7 through 10 though when Nix and Penix will be be factors.

Yeah that's definitely who he's talking about. My phone autosaves username searches on here and all the guys that have posted inside info over the years are on there. I believe the top 2 have stated they no longer get info anymore, but I could be wrong on that.
