Have You Changed Your Mind About Which Player You Want @ 2?

Darnold is the only guy I want. Will he be there at 2? We’ll have to wait and see.

I like Barkley the most. I also like Darnold and Nelson. Iffy on Rosen. But either of those four would make me happy.

I want either of the LA QB’s, Rosen or Darnold, with Rosen actually being my preference.

I am intrigued with Mayfield but we all know he isn't a NYG kind of guy and they won't take him, especially at #2.

I’ve dreamt about pairing Beckham with Barkley for months now... was sold on the scenario...

Now? I don’t want to be in QB hell for years to come...

Give me Josh Rosen! Build the OLine in the 2nd round...

to stop wanting a player and just trying to understand why the team might want a player.. that way when they pick the player I can at least understand what they were trying to do.. Me wanting a player never had a good outcome..

Its only worked for me one time.. I wanted either Eli or BigBen.. I got Phillip Rivers...

Then the trade happened..

I would say no. As another piece of information along with analysts, media, etc., yes.

I was firmly in the Rosen camp back in the late fall/early winter. I have since then been enamored with Barkley. I realize the unique opportunity to acquire a QB without giving up future draft assets and go back to drafting Rosen. I would say today, I'm in the Rosen/Barkley camp equally with a slight preference for a qb.

want Darnold or to pick at a different spot.

Nothing against the other top guys but I put them on the same level behind Darnold. the other Qbs, Barkley,Chubb,Nelson and Fitzpatrick Would be happy with any of them and would rather pick from that lot between 5 and 8 and add resources

you take him. Not your 2nd choice.

I have been a huge Barkley supporter

but trying to be objective about the selection at #2 as I can. I just want the Giants to start winning again. I do have faith in DG, given his track record with drafting.

...Josh Rosen.

I wouldn't be devastated with Barkley or Allen. Chubb or Nelson would be the face palm to the forehead pick...

First I was Barkley (which I still am) but if the qb that the Giants love overall others is there you take him.

Not because I don't want a QB, but because in my mind that signals that Shurmur/DG feel that we are set there already with Eli/Webb and adding Barkley would be a big boost to the offense.

If they don't feel that way, then I'm good with any of Rosen/Darnold/Mayfield. Whichever they feel is the best fit.

I know this isn't popular but I think Eli has a run left in him.

I still want the Giants to take the guy they have ranked the #1 their Board.


If Cleveland takes him and the next guy is on a second row I hope they get a kick-ass offer to trade out of #2.

same

a favorite as there are too many good options with such a high pick. I have some concerns with a few QB prospects based on some “fan research” I’ve done but, I also have great confidence in the QB/offensive minds involved in the decision so if they pick a QB, I’m on board. Unlike most, I’m also fine with Chubb at #2.

I saw Darnold in the Rose Bowl and have wanted him since then. of course back then, it was a "pipe dream" since the Giants were coming off an 11-5 season and I was convinced we'd have no shot at him. I also figured the Jets would tank for him.

In a weird way, I look at last season as a blessing to be able to grab Darnold (or Rosen).

As long as we take one of them, we're going to have a Favre to Rodgers type of scenario (not saying either will def be as good as rodgers, but we will potentially have 25+ years of franchise QB play).

I won't be upset with anyone, even Allen, but there is nobody I want at #2. Trade down.

on #2 slightly. If Darnold is there I am more than ok with taking him.

The QB I really want is Mayfield but no way the Giants and their history draft Mayfield. I am not at all for Barkley. Good player but at a position where guys like him get injured way too often and easily. Plus, he is no power back. If he gets banged up his main attribute is out the window.

I do NOT want Rosen at all. I would love Nelson but would have to move down for him. Chubb to me makes no sense with the switch to a 3-4 though he has the skills to make that switch.

So #2 options for me:

Darnold
Mayfield
Nelson

About 10 times now. That's the beauty of where the Giants are picking. There are so many ways this could go, and I could talk myself into just about any scenario/player.

I'm open to a number of options

I am actually fine with any of the QBs they take at #2 because I trust Shurmur, Gettleman and Shula to evaluate a QB a lot more than I trust my own ability to do it. I read threads on here all the time about fans being upset if a QB other than their guy gets picked, and I think it is silly, but people are entitled to their opinions.

If they don't like a QB I hope it is Barkley because I think he is a transformational player as a runner and a receiver. I think he is one of those guys that could make everyone around him better by drawing so much defensive focus.

If they trade down, I just hope it is not out of the top 6. To me it seems the talent drops off considerably after that point and I don't think quantity of picks makes up for quality.

.

I still want either QB or trade down.

That said, BBI has made me more comfortable with Barkley. I still think it'd be a mistake, but I wouldn't hate it.

If DG has a strong conviction on one of the QB's ...run to the podium.

If not, then trade down to no later than pick 5 or 6....and grab one of Nelson or Chubb.

My sense is they like Darnold, but if Cleveland picks him then move to plan B.

at first i thought drafting Rosen might be a good move.

Now, I know drafting Rosen is the move to make.


DG, please don't pass on the best pure passing QB prospect to come out since Andrew Luck.

Either Barkley or Nelson.

However I’d now also accept Chubb or Allen.

I think we need to draft a QB but the Barkley and Chubb enthusiasts have me feeling fine about many outcomes.

2 months ago, I was pretty sure they should draft a QB, preferably Darnold. I argued that considering our QB is 37 and that you only have an opportunity to draft high in what is considered a QB rich draft once in a blue moon, it would be stupid to not draft a QB.

I don't buy the red flags thing. Almost every QB ever drafted had red flags. Couple that with the fact that RBs have shorter careers and a good one could be drafted in the 2nd rd, etc. Nothing against Webb, let him compete in a year or 2 with Darnold or whoever is drafted and trade the non-starter.

My feelings now are basically, I'm trusting DG and Shurmer to make the best decision. If it's Barkley, great. If they trade down a little and take Chubb, fine.

Hopefully Eli has another really good year or 2 in him, we compete and it would great if he went out on top. If we go non QB, hope Webb is the guy and we don't end up in QB hell.

The naritive on his is ridiculous.

His PARENTS are rich so he doesnt need to play and will lack desire. If the Giants worried about stupid shit like this we never would have drafted Eli...his parents were rich too..

...now want Darnold.




Keep in mind, I AM the MUSH of the NFL Draft.

I wanted George Rogers. I wanted Sean Taylor. I LOVED Dave Brown, Ron Dayne and the rest of the bad 1st round RB picks of the last generation.


C'MON, DARNOLD!!!

1. Draft qb you love
2. Trade down and target Nelson/Fitz or Vea further down
3. Draft Barkley

have to be totally insane to decide or change anything based on the contradictory and uninformed nonsense on this site.

1a. Darnold (only because of Rosen's concussions)
1b. Rosen (assuming he's cleared medically)
2. Trade down and hopefully grab Lamar Jackson

Rosen or Mayfield don't care which. I have softened to Barkley because of his receiving skills. Yards per attempt is the most accurate predictor of NFL offensive success correlating to wins. Rushing yards per attempt is almost meaningless. Net yards per attempt is an even better indicator but brings the defense into the equation.

if the Giants go QB at 2, hope it Darnold. want not part of Rosen

If Darnold goes to Cleveland at 1, then I want Barkley at 2.

Prefer to add Barkley to the offense this year

between Barkley and Chubb

Exactly how I feel. I have a preference of Darnold, but really whoever they take I am going to trust our braintrust to get the right guy.

And not regret it forever. Especially since the Jets will def pounce and we’d have to watch him turn their franchise completely around. This should be the easiest pick in the draft and I’m praying the FO sees it that way

no, Darnold. Wait, Rosen. Definitely Rosen. Scratch that, Mayfield. Nope, gotta be Darnold.

I'm not trying to call you out, or suggest I don't like Rosen, but just asking because you have such a strong preference.

If all the QBs were on the board when the Giants picked, and they go with Darnold, Allen or Mayfield, do you really think they did a worse job evaluating their options that you did?

Too funny! Probably describes majority of BBIers!

Rosen is the best QB in this draft.
If not cleared medically, I would choose Barkley.

First off, its important for me to once again point out that I am in no way qualified to speak about any individual player. I don't watch enough college football for each player and I am not privvy to enough information to really justify an opinion.

Now that thats settled.....I have always been firmly on the QB bandwagon for the sole reason that I think Eli is clearly on the back 9 and just about every other team thinks these QB's are worthy of a first round pick. Therefore, I have always thought that it's QB or bust.

I have eased up a little bit on that. I am strongly anti-RB at #2, that hasn't changed, but I understand that Barkley is a fantastic prospect that can help OBJ and the passing game. If there was a way for us to drop back and accumulate some prime picks and then take Barkley, I'd be ok with it. I still really hope we love one of the QB's though.

Yep, I'm not so enamored with any one player that I sleep with his picture under my pillow and will go ape-shit if he is not selected by the team. There are a number of blue chippers that I would be happy with, and I'd also be happy with the right trade back. For those that have decided that it has to be this guy or that guy, be prepared to be disappointed.

Rosen or Darnold. Prefer Rosen!

as I'm sure the Giants front office has. You test out scenario's and think about fits.

The constant has been my belief in Darnold. He's younger by years then Wentz and Eli coming out, and he played on a not so great team.

Lot's of good options if Darnold isn't available. I've vacillated between Rosen and Barkley at #2. I've thought about Josh Allen at #4/5 on a trade down. Lot's of things make sense, but I'm leaning towards QB.

If gone, then I take Rosen with his caveats. If his injury history and interviews check out. If they don't, I sell the pick and trade down with an eye on Barkley and Allen. IF both of those guys are gone with #4 or #5 then I go Chubb.

So many options, all good. I want to maximize value and take the best player. All said and done I will be happy with Darnold, Rosen, or Barkley... and I've flip flopped for sure on the order.

Mayfield on here because of the height we might all come to regret that

I always have liked Josh Rosen but moved him up in front of Mayfield

I’m also sold on Barkley because of bbi.......
