Two franchise QBs in Rosen and Darnold at the top of the draft. Giants could wind up like Packers, going from one franchise QB to another. Be a perennial contender for the next 15 years.
If they can't get one of the QBs, then you stay with Eli and draft Saquon Barkley, who could be a generational talent. He and Odell would be one of the top WR-RB combos of all time.
If they wind up picking 4 or 5, there are two potential franchise LTs in Trey Adams and McGlinchey.
Obviously, this season sucks and just as obviously, things can change with the draft. But down the road we might look back at this poor season as a blessing in disguise.
They’ve had two top 10 picks in the last three years (which in and of itself is testament to their continued incompetence) and managed to butcher both.
The stakes are too high to allow those proven failures to damage this organization even more than they already have.
Just another reason he will be gone (and John Jerry, and Hart, and any pretensions that Flowers an NFL-quality talent, let alone an LT).

I don't want Chris Mara near that pick either. And I don't want this coaching staff developing that pick.

Don't worry, Chris Mara will be off somewhere watching his horse race.
There’s several other intriguing QB prospects. This is a deep draft. You have to look at the whole package. I think this is a blip for Darnold. I don’t see how he doesn’t come out. Rosen has some maturity concerns. Allen, Falk, Browning, Jackson, Mayfield, Rudolph all there or potentially coming out too.
There are no sure fire stud OL in this draft worthy of a top 10 pick. There’s a couple DL that look intriguing but we have invested very heavily on that side to where I’m not sure it’s a Round 1 consideration if we are picking top 5.
Nobody at either position is worthy of a Top 5 pick and maybe not even a Top 10 either.
Last thing I want is another Flowers like reach in the top of the draft.

I do think they'll search high and low for a QB, regardless of the presence of Webb, and that LT and DE prospects aren't looking like they'll be a strong group. Very interested to see what prospects rise to the top.
How do we know he fucked up? Webb was never going to start this year with Eli still here and if they blow the team up and pick a QB with a high #1 he'll be up against the 8 ball before he ever can prove himself.
One possibility, which probably won't happen, would be to give him some playing time this year to see what he can do. That way we would at least have an idea of what we picked last year in the 3rd.

Thus you will never see him drafting a QB next year

If you spent a 3rd on the kid this year you don't spend a 1st the next year on another QB UNLESS you know the guy you took this year was a wasted pick. Even he is Reese will never admit as much.
The team does not need to get blown up, we just need Reese's FO out of there. They fail at judging O-Line talent and purposely seem to neglect the LB position. We can't run the ball well nor cover RB and TE's. Both glaring holes are a direct result of this FO. Shore those up and we fix 7%% of the teams woes
Why is this a fuck up? The guy has the size and skills, and so far has shown well. WHy do people dismiss 1st year players so quickly? Just because he was the guy who dropped last year, one or two always do, doesn't mean he isn't good. Imagine if he is the guy, and we got him in the 2rd round. What a steal, and then we can draft an OT (like Oklahoma's Brown) in the 1st. Or a RB.

PP read what I wrote. I said IF they drafted a QB with the 1st rd pick that is an indication Webb was a wasted 3rd rd'er. I am not saying he is, I have no idea and as a matter of fact, I am against going QB in the first rd and running with Webb
It has absolutely nothing to do with admitting error (not to mention, who are you or any of us to determine that it even was a mistake). No one - NO ONE - could have predicted that the Giants would be in position to draft one of this year's franchise QB prospects, so it doesn't make the Webb any less prudent. They saw an opportunity to develop a talented QB that they had a high grade on - that doesn't make him a sure thing (there's a reason why he was a 3rd round pick), nor does it mean that they should dismiss the opportunity to add a potential star at the position.
Do you think they'd pass on Saquon Barkley because they drafted Perkins and Gallman? Because that's essentially what you're saying, and it's equally nonsensical.

Holy fuck how many times do i have to say "Read what I wrote".
I'm NOT SAYING he is a wasted pick. I am saying the perception that he is if we go QB 1st is what Reese would be against. Thus it will never happen if Reese is still here

Reese could always justify a QB in round 1 2018 as BPA though couldn't he? To appear as tho he wasn't wrong?

Yes, but once again we are talking about the man who has told us for 3 years that Flowers is a good LT and to any FA we brought in that the LT position is off the table. IMO he lets his ego rule decisions
