It's Draft Day Boys! Put your stake in the ground

Tim in Eternal Blue : 4/25/2024 6:53 am
Who will be a Giant by the end of the night?

As much as I want Drake Maye and think he's going to be a superstar in this league, I think the Giants end up with JJ McCarthy.

That's my pick. JJ McCarthy.
My prediction  
Jay7852 : 4/25/2024 6:59 am : link
Giants will have JJ McCarthy and Aiyuk on the roster by tonight at 9pm!!!

Let’s goooooo
Giants trade up to 3 and select Maye.

And for anyone who didn’t watch his interview with Eisen yesterday, check it out. Good stuff.

Let’s go Schoen!

The guy I’m sitting next to is the second cousin of the Uber driver of the second assistant to to the towel boy of John Mara’s dentist. He says:

Giants trade down to 11 and take Rome Odunze.

So that’s what I’m going with.
Giants still get  
jvm52106 : 4/25/2024 7:07 am : link
Maye (fall back is JJM), QB is our focus, is our target..

Peter Schrager did his final mock, has Nabers to Giants.. But, he said I still think JJM goes to the Giants..

Well done

How frequently has everyone started refreshing BBI and other sources to see if there’s trade news? I’m up to every 10 minutes…
I think we get a QB  
Rjanyg : 4/25/2024 7:10 am : link
I think Maye but JJM will be plan B if Pats trade or take Maye.

Can’t wait for tonight!

Preference: Maye

Will be ecstatic with: JJM, Nabers, Odunze

Prediction: JJ McCarthy @ 4
Maye of JJM  
uther99 : 4/25/2024 7:21 am : link
depending on patriots
Drake Maye  
Optimus-NY : 4/25/2024 7:24 am : link
JJM is the number 2 option. I think the NYG find a way to get Maye though.
I would not have picked this  
Giantophile : 4/25/2024 7:26 am : link
On any of the days leading up to the draft but here we are: JJ McCarthy.

And I'm warming up to the idea.

Trade is for next year’s 2nd round pick.

Blue21 : 4/25/2024 7:34 am : link
Arizona and take who Pats don't take. I go back and forth as I have for weeks who they like. I think they like both and will be thrilled with either. If they do trade up with Pats then we know they are head over heels for that one. Not sure they want to give up a king's ransom to move to 3.
MY guess is that they will draft a QB on Day Two and tell us that they  
Marty in Albany : 4/25/2024 7:58 am : link
"stole" a first round pick.

It is not my job to tell the Giants what to do. They don't pay me. I pay them, by buying tickets and Giants gear.

THEIR job is to win. MY job is to complain when they don't win. Oh, and by the way, "Down in front!!"
I'm predicting Nabers  
Milton : 4/25/2024 8:03 am : link
But hoping for a trade down that includes landing Penix.

p.s.--Selecting Nabers with the 6th overall pick and trading up for Penix later in the day (or tomorrow?) would be my ideal draft.
Stay at 6  
Sec 103 : 4/25/2024 8:33 am : link
get a t rue #1 WR.
Do not overpay picks you don't have specially next years that could be in the top 5.
Aside that let the Cards fall where they may
I believe two things may happen:  
section125 : 4/25/2024 8:37 am : link
1) they will try to get to 3 or 4 for a fair/reasonable trade(not cheap, just not highway robbery) for a QB

2) If they fail to get the QB, they will trade back ala Sy'56 and get more picks for this year and 2025 and select Thomas from LSU.

Trade for extra picks has been my gut for about a month.
McCarthy  
Breeze_94 : 4/25/2024 9:09 am : link
And I think it will end up being a good pick. He can very easily end up the second best QB in this class. A lot of it will depend on the situation around these guys, though.
Gimme Nabers...  
Jan in DC : 4/25/2024 9:16 am : link
I don't buy for a second that the Patriots are actually considering trading their pick.
McCarthy  
ZogZerg : 4/25/2024 9:22 am : link
As I've been saying all along, it doesn't make sense for NE to trade from their spot. They won't trade and they will take Maye at #3. Really nothing Giants can realistically do about it.

Not sure what spot Giants take JJ, not sure Cards trade back either.
In a bit of a surprise, MHJ  
Greg from LI : 4/25/2024 9:35 am : link
I predict the Giants won't be willing to pay the exorbitant price to move up for a QB. Also, there's ususally a surprise in the top ten, and this year I'm guessing it's Nabers going before MHJ.
Trade with NE up to 3  
Harvest Blend : 4/25/2024 9:37 am : link
Giants get Maye at #3 along with NE 2024 #4.

NE gets NYG #6, #70, 2025 #1, 2025 #3.
Trade with Arizona for 4  
KingBlue : 4/25/2024 11:07 am : link
Giants select Drake Maye

Arizona gets either MHJ or Nabers, plus #70
Giants select  
Rudy5757 : 4/25/2024 11:44 am : link
Nabers with McCarthy on the board. Or a trade with Minnesota so they can take McCarthy and we settle for Odunze.
Odunze  
stoneman : 4/25/2024 11:51 am : link
Nabers/Odunze - I prefer the latter, but either would be OK at 6. Could live with Maye at 6, but no JJM.
Maye on a slight trade up to four  
The Mike : 4/25/2024 11:55 am : link
Or MHJ/Nabers/Odunze at six. Or trade back for a haul and take Penix. Hard pass on JJM.
I predict we wind up with Nabers  
Will Shine : 4/25/2024 12:02 pm : link
Though I want Odunze (though either would be great).
Best guess  
Thegratefulhead : 4/25/2024 5:13 pm : link
1 Williams
2 Daniels
3 McCarthy
4 Trade Giants Maye
5 MHjr
6 Arizona Nabers

I believe the Giants initially wanted Maye but JJ blew them away. In negotiating with NE they each ascertained they wanted the same guy and NE wants a grip from NYG. Arizona does not want out of the top 6. The Giants have leverage because they will stay at 6 and draft an amazing player. I suspect we don’t give up a lot and take Maye. The players after guesses based on who Harbaugh prefers.
