I liked what I saw of Webb in college and preseason. But, if the Giants keep Eli (very likely) and draft a new franchise QB (also very likely) don't they have to try to get at least the 3 they gave up for Web in this year's draft? What do you think Webb could bring back? Having that high of a pick almost forces their hand into this.
If they trade down, and keep Webb, I'd love them to take Roquan Smith. He just stood out in both playoff games.
Draft Barkley.
But dumb was a common theme this year
No value in trading now
They cant rest the entire future on a lottery ticket essentially

If Webb is as good as some on BBI say, that he checks all the boxes, was graded as a first, isnt that different as a prospect from this years group, now has a year of NFL seasoning, etc
Then he would hold some value
If he winds up a backup QB, his draft pick is a good one.
Draft Barkley.
We can always count on you for in-depth analysis.
this..kid can't even get the backup spot let alone see the field in this giants season
The Pats had 2 Backup QBs and didnt get rid of them until they had played and got some cred.
Yes, at this point, it is a sunk cost so you try to recoup some value by getting some playing time.
Nassib didnt get any significant game action and the Giants eventually just had to cut him loose.
If he winds up a backup QB, his draft pick is a good one.
He's gotten almost no looks in NFL. He's not going to factor into long term planning but they'll have him in camp and will likely get a chance to compete for backup position.
The fallacy amongst posters here is that there is no tape or book on Webb. Not true, there is substantial 2016 game tape. No, not his 20 best throws of the year but tape that actually features everyone one of his throws. He is highly inaccurate (being generous) and never ever came off his first read. I don't see how anyone could walk away from one of those tapes and objectively believe he is a NFL quality qb. The history of the NFL is littered with guys like him, moderately strong arm and not much else that never make it.
Why would any team give up any pick of value for him?
It didn't happen then, it's not going to happen now.
It didn't happen then, it's not going to happen now.
thank you!
Plus, what did you like of him in pre-season? He barely played. Did he even throw 10 passes this summer?
Now the top three qb's have huge question marks like injury history, too small, questionable decision making,etc. ......how much better are they than Webb? We don't know unless you compare his last year of college to theirs'......
Nassib situation also different. He was brought in exclusively as back-up since Eli had so many years left. No one expected him to be a starter ever.
It didn't happen then, it's not going to happen now.
lol. it really is true
Fans tend to overrate their own, and overrate the value and hit rate of a 3rd round draft pick, which is approx 25%.
Your concept is sound, but the surrounding realities are much more likely to occur, imv.
