Travis Jordan anyone ??? Worth a shot in the 5th ???

FSU

But got his name wrong.

to waste on a guy that will probably go the way of Davis Webb and Kyle Lauletta.

And I love Travis the player. I am not sure what kind of NFL future he has - probably a solid backup/spot starter is his ceiling. However, if Daboll sees some moldable clay that can become something, by all means take a shot on him or any of the other QB.

Either way, I will be rooting for Jordan Travis because he seems like a terrific kid.

I don’t get why some clamor to top take a QB in the first who would have a 40% chance of success but not one in the later rounds.

undrafted

maybe he can get his act together. Take a flyer on him, at least he has a lot of potential upside

Agree. I think he is the only one in this group that could become something other than a backup, but he has a lot more that needs to be fixed.

Unless the Giants see a real potential for development, I would pass on using draft choices and wait to see who's available as an UDFA. Think there's a reasonable chance that one or more of these QB's will be out there and we would be a prime destination. Chances for another Brock Purdy are infinitesimally small.

At this stage of the Draft, there are still some available players who could be real contributors next season vs. developmental projects. If we had six or seven remaining choices, it would be a different story, but with limited picks I vote for a potentially immediate contributor.

Agree with you. I would definitely take a shot on either Milton or Travis. Even if all they become is a backup QB in the NFL, it's a cheap 4 year contract.

And you gotta love two first names.

I’m not sure it is reasonable to look at 5th and 6th round picks as immediate contributors. If they were ready to play in the NFL they would not still be on the board.

Because people believe early pick equals success …. 40% is 90% at worst in their heads

Because QBs picked in the first round generally have all the physical tools needed to succeed in the NFL and have put out tape that shows potential to continue that in the NFL. Guys still waiting around in the 5th and 6th round are either more physically limited, or show some limiting traits that may not be fixable at the next level.

Picking a QB is not a blind draw where you just look at the percentages and try to decide if you like your odds. You are drafting an individual, not the history of the position.

the arm talent may not be there.

It’s about time some smart logical QB threads are being started here now.

Maybe people haven’t seen much of FSU so that is why they are hesitant…or maybe because of his injury. Nevertheless, this kid can do it all and is a winner as you said in your OP.

I hope Joe and Kafka also see these positive attributes and make him a Giant…not this Tennessee kid or this Rattler kid or this Pratt kid…TRAVIS IS THE NAME!

But later in the draft. We still need help in other areas.

Watch the link…
Travis - ( New Window )

There are still some RB's and TE's out there who could potentially help this year vs. some kid holding a clipboard on the sidelines. Again, if we had 6 or 7 more choices, different story.

UFDA signings should be interesting.

Because I feel like everyone gets his name wrong including myself.

I would love it if they took him, unfortunately, he just doesn’t seem like a Giants type of draft pick, much like a Blake Corum, because of their size.

However, might as well not waste a pick on a QB with only three of them left and, the QB room pretty much set.

Rather go with defense.

But I do love those Florida State Gators. 😎

Rb from Notre Dame if I have the nane right.

To quote Schoen, I'm comfortable with this QB room...

He threw a lot of jump balls that Keon Coleman caught.
