Will they take another shot, if the value is right, in the 2nd or 3rd round at another QB to compete with Webb? I think it would be a good idea, especially if we trade down with Denver and get extra picks to take some chances. Who do people think may be around for our 2nd pick?
I think the Giants trade down. I think they can barter with Cleveland and Denver to see who gives up more to move to #2.

^This. But it depends of course who else is available,e and how many extra picks they get in a trade down.
Yes
With their draft board they may not see the value at #2, but may have someone who pops up in the second round that they had rated as mid to late first round talent. It sounds like when they took Webb in the third they had him as a 1st or 2nd round grade.

3rd round pick.

Also, ignores pressure and keeps his eyes downfield.
Dave Te' has said the Giants asked for a scouting report on him.
No QB at two almost without a doubt means they will sign a vet QB then decide if Webb or him is the backup QB. If Webb is the backup then it’s two QB’s on the roster one vet on the practice squad with his bags always packed. Gents this team has so many questions to answer going forward is scary however it’s a new regime with lots to show us.

Interesting. Just checked out his senior bowl clips, and although just a small sampling, I liked what I saw with my amateur eyes. I am sure there are more reasons why he is not considered a higher choice, but interesting nevertheless.
I like hedging my bets by having two compete for Eli's future if it is not a #2 pick this year--Happy to not have one of those two be Geno Smith.

I would roll the dice and do that, personally, or sign a vet minimum QB. There are still plenty of guys out there like Blaine Gabbert or Ryan Mallet or Matt Moore. Just grab a guy to "compete with Davis Webb to be the backup". Or go with a UDFA, which is more of a dice roll, but how often do you need a third QB? You certainly have to prepare for that possibility, especially when you haven't even gotten to week 1 yet.
What I would do and what the Giants will do are very different. I think if you don't draft a QB in the first round, this team needs every draft pick it can to be a potential starter and contribute, not hold clipboards.
If you get a Tanner Lee, Kyle Lauletta, or Mike White, ok I guess. It's not the end of the world, but you are probably taking a guy that will is likely to never play a meaningful snap for you.
Every QB - or pick for that matter - is a project.
QB is the most important position. And maybe in all of sports. They are hard to find. So drafting one every year keeps the odds in your favor that you eventually find a real keeper...
Excellent news. Thanks for passing this along. I like Rothenberg too. Hope this is true. I would be thrilled with Rosen at 2.

said this past Saturday is true. (He is a super die hard NY Giants fan) he says someone close to him who is in the know told him that DG absolutely loves Josh Rosen. I hope all this Barkely and Nelson chatter is just a smoke screen and that DG takes Rosen realizing that he needs to set up the Giants for the next 15 years and not be desperate to count on rookies to carry Eli to a playoff berth.

I really hope this is true. Draft day would be so much more exciting if they take Rosen.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.
I don't care if it's Rosen, I just want them to love one, and get him.
I think he's got just as good a chance to be a HomeRum as any.

I want Rosen but I would be happy with Darnold too. I just don't want to miss out on taking our next QB this year so we don't have to worry about the position for 12+ years. The Giants would have the rare chance of going from one franchise QB to the next without the usual time period of mediocre stop gaps to have a record bad enough to be in range of drafting a franchise QB. Just to be clear I am not suggesting taking a QB just for the sake of taking one. I like Rosen and I think he is the BPA at 2.

Nice find! Thanks for sharing. He looks pretty sharp considering he worked with those people for a week, some tight coverage on some of those completions.
I'll put myself out there. Look, he'll win some games because he can make exciting plays with his legs. But he won't become a great QB capable of taking a team to the Super Bowl, because he doesn't have the arm.

If Gettleman is in love with one of them, I'm glad it's Rosen. From what I've read and the little I've seen, I think he may be the best of the bunch. I also think the "attitude" knocks on him are BS and he is temperamentally well-suited to be an NFL QB in New York. I also don't want to see him in Jets green.
This is absolutely true.
I think the Giants trade down. I think they can barter with Cleveland and Denver to see who gives up more to move to #2.

I think they are all in on Rosen and have been since Mara sent Reese to the USC-UCLA game last season so this makes sense to me....
