Rattler?

Milton : 4/26/2024 6:35 am
As one of their 30 visits, we know he is on their radar in a significant way, but when to pull the trigger? Is 47 too soon? Is 70 too late? Somewhere in between in a trade down or trade up? What say you? Would any of you trade up from the 47th pick? The Raiders still loom and they have the 44th pick and 77th picks.
4th round

nothing earlier. We have some holes to fill before we take a chance on a QB and for the record, I'd love to come away with Rattler as a shot to get a cheap backup QB locked up for years.
I’d definitely

Consider him if there at 47. Great potential there.
potential back up  
Chip : 4/26/2024 6:40 am : link
who will never play. Wasted pick. Go OL TE or RB makes more sense.
No  
jeff57 : 4/26/2024 6:43 am : link
Not worth it in either round.
Please God no  
Big Rick in FL : 4/26/2024 6:44 am : link
He's a flat out bad QB. Just go look at his numbers at South Carolina. He played solid against defenses that were ranked in the 100s in college football. He played absolutely terrible against teams with a top 60 defense.
No QB  
MojoEd : 4/26/2024 6:45 am : link
After last night, NYG support of DJ. I can’t see them using any pick on a QB.

He was running for his life half the time. That OL sucked. And he still beat Tennessee and Clemson back to back in 2022.
That said, we really can’t afford a 2nd round pick on him. If he drops to 4th maybe. But I think we really need defense in round 2.
I'd use #47 on Rattler.

Although a slight trade down would be nice as well.

Jordan Travis, Spencer Rattler, and Michael Pratt are three talented players. Maybe they do not have the upside of Maye/McCarthy, but the investment is also much lower.

I understand mid-round QB's rarely hit, but this seems to be an atypical year for QB's.

Take a shot on a QB with minimal draft investment and see if he can develop with Daboll.
They shouldn't look at QB  
ZogZerg : 4/26/2024 7:44 am : link
Until 4th round earliest.
They will not  
section125 : 4/26/2024 7:50 am : link
waste and I mean waste a day two pick on a guy that does not even have backup potential.

Think about it. They seriously need, DT, CB, S, and could use a RB. How in God's name could you justify a backup QB before the above - especially one that has never done anything.

This ^
Agree with not looking at QB  
SomeFan : 4/26/2024 8:04 am : link
until 4th at earliest. Although, the QBs we have as a group are probably bottom quarter (arguably) worst set in the NFL.
I'm not interested in Rattler  
Heisenberg : 4/26/2024 8:13 am : link
We can still get really good players in the 4th and I don't think he's got what's necessary between the ears to be anything but a swaggy backup.

Then why did they waste one of their 30 visits on him?
Rattler  
davew926 : 4/26/2024 8:25 am : link
I am an Oklahoma fan and watched every game he played there and admittedly saw very little of him at SC. He is not a good QB, he can throw the ball but can't play the position.
I'd  
AcidTest : 4/26/2024 8:36 am : link
consider him in the late third after a trade down or early fourth, but think he'll be gone by then. Six QBs going in the top 12 picks pushes him and Pratt up the draft board slightly IMO.

You jinxed us. They will now pick him.
Waldman isn't exactly a fan...  
Milton : 4/26/2024 8:37 am : link
But he did have this to say...
Quote:
When Rattler knows where to go with the ball, he has promising accuracy that should only improve if his understanding of coverage improves. His quick distribution of the football and ability to vary his releases and still deliver an accurate target is an impressive part of his game. Rattler’s pocket management has improved, but he’s still not at a place where it’s a strength of his game. For him to develop into a good starter, he must move more efficiently. Like Mayfield early in his career, Rattler is not as comfortable climbing the pocket as he must become.
No  
US1 Giants : 4/26/2024 8:39 am : link
Will draft a CB or DT in round 2.

shocktheworld : 4/26/2024 9:14 am : link
Is the only QB I’d want to take a chance on. He might not be able to play QB, but he’s 6’5,235 and had a howitzer attached to his throwing shoulder
I think the QB room  
JonC : 4/26/2024 9:21 am : link
is set.
47 is way too high for me.  
Section331 : 4/26/2024 9:24 am : link
I’m open to taking a chance on Rattler, he’s a good athlete with a live arm, but he’s not worth a 2nd rounder, and the Giants have WAY too many needs to squander this high a pick. Maybe the 4th rd, and if he’s not there, so be it.
I would pick 5 or more other QBs before Rattler  
PatersonPlank : 4/26/2024 9:25 am : link
maybe I'd get him as an UDFA

And that’s so damn depressing
No  
bwitz : 4/26/2024 9:27 am : link
We already have enough crappy QBs. We don’t need to add one who’s also a head case.

Rattler sucks.

I wonder if they’re already lining up potential coaching and GM candidates for the future.
This is a well thought out post  
Ned In Atlanta : 4/26/2024 9:33 am : link
I'm bummed they didn't land a QB, but also happy they didn't force it. Hard to be too mad about getting the best WR this team has had since OBJ
oops wrong thread  
Ned In Atlanta : 4/26/2024 9:33 am : link
meant to respond to Sean. I want zero part of Spencer rattler.
