Hypothetically speaking, looking back, if the Browns pulled a fast one and drafted Barkley (or another team traded up to the #1 spot and took him) who would the Giants most likely have drafted? Would they have then gone with a QB or would they go OL/DL?
I don't think so, this is a different flavor.
I'm not sure we'd ever know - we have no idea how they had Mayfield and the other QBs rated comparatively. We know (and suspected then) that they loved Barkley, but not much on the rest of the field.
Interesting...what would the price have been?
I'm guessing they'd have gone with Chubb.
We could have easily needed Chubb.
We could have easily needed McGlitchney.
We could have easily needed Nelson.
And Barkley was a need too.
Shit, no wonder why we suck.
Sorry you're bored. I was curious.
And would likely be already injured like Rosen and Allen.
Well, the future ain't lookin too bright, and the present is downright awful, so what the hell else we supposed to focus on ;).
I agree and I was just kidding. I like to focus on the development of our young players. It's an absolute thrill to watch Barkley, and I'm happy with how BJ Hill, Hernandez and Carter are coming along. Would love to see Engram have a big game tonight. And for me I still feel extremely fortunate that we get to see #13 play for us on a weekly basis.
BBi is gonna be in for an implosion when we dont draft herbert. But if we can get an edge rusher in round 1, and a RT in round 2 - we are heading into the right direction.
Like 0-6 different?

If Herbert doesn't declare, then it is what it is. The QB will surface when the time is right.
UFA before the draft, could well go after the RT then as well as a player such as Markus Golden, and cut OV loose.

That's what I have been suggesting. Bring in young building block free agents like they did when they signed Kareem McKenzie, Plaxico Burress, and Antonio Pierce. Instead sign Donovan Smith for RT, Mitch Morse for C, and Markus Golden. Sign a cheap stopgap to compete with Lauletta for the starting job and go all in for a QB in the 2020 draft.
