An O-line that can't block; a front 7 that can't rush the passer, and what do you have?
A 2019 CBS Sports Mock Draft that has the Giants picking first.
We lose in Houston this Sunday, and the first selection is very much in this team's reach.
I only wish they were reaching with a brand new ownership team.

ok, then!
Who may very well have a 2nd round grade....that would even be better.
You can sort by position and Spotrac also has a column for their current annual value. The list is extensive as it includes not just UFA, but also RFA and ERFA. While it is early, you can look around but of course some of the players will potentially be signed by their own team before FA.

Well, the Giants suck, and everyone knows it. This team is dancing on a razor's edge right now. There is a lot wrong with this team and the talent at the LOS just isn't there to make any serious mid-course correction.
I know it when I see it... this is what the dark years of 1964 - 1981 looked like.
Giants pick up the #4 pick in the draft, a 2nd rounder, and a 4th rounder, and a 2020 3rd rounder.
Giants still get their choice at QB, come back in the 2nd and take an OT and a pass rusher, and use the 3rd round to get the top C available. Then with their 2 4th rounders get the best FS available and a ILB for competition.
We only need 1...the right one.
No, but they may take Lock.
And that is what is infuriating. Even in the best case scenarios for this season, Eli is 38 at the end of it.
In 32 years I have never been more worried about the future of the team.
This is no longer a vertical system and Manning is not a west coast QB.
Probably not, since John isn't in the draft.

Even Darnold wasn't a Darnold-type prospect in January of this year.
It's so premature to label any of these guys as not top of draft caliber talents. CBS Sports has Finley at #10 overall right now and Lock at #17 on their Big Board. Last year they had Baker Mayfield at 34 and QB#5.
And then there was this:

If Lock or Finley, etc are considered top 10 picks, it's not going to matter if you take them #1 or #8. FFS we don't even know where we're going to be picking yet.

Interested to see if Grier can climb, but there's no sign of a Darnold-type prospect next year just yet.

I was clear it's early.
No ellipses? That was probably an oversight on my part. (:-)

Lester... trying to generate a little diversion after the first two games. I am more than looking forward to changing my posts after the Giants start winning. I've been a fan for over 50 years and I root for them through thick and thin. But I'm also a realist, and I NO LIKE what I'm seeing at the LOS... both sides of the ball. But here's to a victory down in Houston... GO GIANTS!

Collins is no sure thing unless he keeps his mouth shut and let his play speak for himself. So far, he has been the opposite.
This year's meltdown already had the expectation that next year's QB class was going to be poor built into it. So long as they don't do something crazy (like take the top rated WR) it's hard to imagine people will be that angry.

I apologize, Jon.
And the Giants apparently were not in love with any of the QBs from this draft.
Grier, and for some reason, not many scouts are elevating Kyler Murray or Dwayne Haskins. Those two are big time wildcards. Murray, who is supposed to go right into pro baseball after this season, I wonder if he changes his tune if he's talked about as a top prospect. That guy is like a faster Russell Wilson.
But when all is said and done, I don't think Lock and Herbert are going to be first round picks.

I think it's lack of sample size with Murray and Haskins, at this point, they're green. Really like Herbert but he's a year behind now after the knee. They're green prospects. I'm wary of the one-read passers like Lock. To me, there's no top 10 QB so far.
Same goes for Murray.
Either way, call me crazy, but pending on where they are drafting next year, I'd be most happy with an offensive lineman.
Looks like some choice DL rising to the top so far.
agree
unless he REALLY turns it around- cause right now he is a slightly above average player
Ideally, if someone wanted to move up, I'd absolutely trade down and try and net a 2020 first rounder in the event the NYG need ammo to try and move up to secure a potential franchise QB (Jake Fromm, perhaps).
Still WAY too early to speculate today. There are plenty of games to lose between now and week 17.
The 2017 draft was supposed to stink to, and that produced Mahomes and Watson, who look to be STARS.
I am really interested in somehow landing Tyree Jackson, QB Buffalo, who I am sure will be talked about as a first round pick by next spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKxNAyvQEvg

I like kyler Murray but isn’t he like 5’10” 190lbs?
Regardless after years of not investing well in the OL we have to continue to put high draft capital towards the OL.
