What would the Giants get for Slayton?

JoeyBigBlue : 4/26/2024 10:59 am
If they offered him to teams. Productive receiver on a cheap contract. Would be a No. 2 on a few teams. I’m thinking 4th at best, with 5th most likely. What do you guys think?

Of Animal House, maximum
You can go draft a Darius Slayton

in the 4th or fifth round if you want. Why would you trade for one you had to pay more and is older?
Not much

I think teams would rather draft a younger player who is also significantly cheaper.

I think the real question is why would a team want to trade for Slayton?
truly insane to think Slayton

pulls more than a 7th rd pick man, cmon.

SF is getting 4th rd offers for Deebo
It's Joe Schoen,

Maybe they can use him to swap pickswith a team picking higher in the

Because he’s a proven 700 yard receiver in the NFL on a cheap contract.
I think

a 5th is realistic maybe 4th, he's not a #1 WR obv but a very reasonably priced #2 or 3.

I think worth reaching out to LAC to move up for their #37 for our #47 and Slayton and a pick(5th?)
Slayton is really the only experienced and accomplished guy  
Walker Gillette : 4/26/2024 11:13 am : link
In a very young receiver room. He also seems like a guy who will be a good influence (potential holdout non withstanding)on the young kids.Maybe a team with a real need at WR gives you something decent, 4/5th rounder for him but is that really worth bumping a mostly inexperienced group up a peg early in the year when developing them is the most important thing?
Nothing  
Mr. Nickels : 4/26/2024 11:15 am : link
he is not worth anything
Late round pick…probably late 5 or early 6  
Breeze_94 : 4/26/2024 11:19 am : link
At that point, is it worth it? That’s about where Slayton was drafted, and we consider that (or McFadden) about as good as it gets at that point in the draft…

I think he’s valuable as a WR4 here, and not sure trading him makes sense unless they get a favorable offer.

Furthermore he’s probably the WR2 until Hyatt takes a big step forward. I do think Hyatt will…but as of today, Slayton is their most accomplished WR.

Deebo wants BIG $$$$...

I think GMs are divided on the value of these WRs are the insane contracts being gotten by some.

I'd rather just draft a WRs every/other year and trade the guy away that wants 30mil.

WRs are as replaceable at RBs but with a different game impact.
Not sure why they'd want to trade him.  
barens : 4/26/2024 11:28 am : link
He doesn't have to be the #1 receiver here, and with ambers and Robinson, he can have a career year.
A 4 or 5

He's also 27 and due a new contract next year.

I think 500-700 yard receivers are pretty fungible *if* you have a quarterback willing and able to throw the ball downfield.

What I caution is the Giants picked Hyatt at 73, and he drew 2/3 of the targets as Slayton and produced about half as much.

This might say more about Jones than either receiver, but at least for the Giants, picking a "Slayton" in the middle rounds hasn't been true.
