To get the second qb of our choice, not the first.
I believe someone, most likely Denver, will trade up with TBay at the last minute to pick number five and select the top qb of their liking, which may be the Giants top choice. Thus, if we insist on selecting a qb, it may be our second choice. Denver is in a good place to do that too, I believe at number 9, to move up a few slots.
Just throwing that out there.
Except if you are really wanting a particular qb, the one who happens to go at 5
If the Giants are locked into a guy they want and he happens to be a QB, there is nothing from preventing them to try and move up. Just look at what the Jets did last year to jump to the 3rd pick.

I wonder if Moving up 2 spots probably costs us our second. We don’t have a third. If it costs us a 4th and we absolutely love that guy we may do it.
You don't realize how ridiculous this thread sounds??
It could be argued that Lamar Jackson who was the 5th QB taken last year, and the 32nd player overall, would be the best QB in this draft.
It would be very hard for Gettleman to justify using the 6th pick for anyone other than the best player. Or in his vernacular a "yellow jacket" player.
The only way I can see the Giants selecting a QB is if they trade down.
...sound familiar?
Seemingly DEN will not go to FA to get a QB, since last few seasons have yielded nothing, and they are squarely in QB hell. This could be Elway’s last draft, and is really his last opportunity to steer the franchise into a winning trajectory. Elway could’ve been axed this year if not for the lack of a clearly defined / strong ownership entity.
I honestly see them going for:
1.) Bridgewater or nobody
2.) heavy OL /DL
3.) Keep Keenum one more year and draft a future backup QB in later rounds
4.) Build assets this year to go all in for Tua in 2020
...sound familiar?
if someone leap frogs us we just take the BPA
to be honest, and i'm talking about Haskins here, i'm not sure he's worth the 6th pick.
i dont think Gettleman is going to reach for need
Hand wringing over a QB makes no sense and Gettleman knows that. we are in a prime position to address needs without reaching. We go OL rd1 DL rd2 (OL in FA) and FS in rd 3 (we'll deal to get back into the 3rd) and BPA 5th and beyond.
In 2020 all bets are off and you see QB frenzy draft wise ...
If Giants do go QB and he looks like a flop, be prepared for 10,000 more posts about how the Giants are in QB hell and are the new Browns, etc.
I am ok with Eli retiring or being cut if he balks at a paycut (I am not really for a restructure but I can see it happening on the teams terms). We fix the OL more and the DL some and maybe grab a FS and more DB depth. Address QA in 2020 yup we may have to use draft picks in the future...but the will have filled a few holes in multiple areas and those picks are not as high as the buyer was hoping for .... If Beal works out we have basically gotten 2 1st rders this year ...

I agree with you somewhat. I do believe Elway realizes he made a mistake with Keemun and he needs to rectify it. I’m not sure Bridewater is the answer, but I think Elway will not want to start next season with Keemun. Maybe I’m wrong and maybe he has other bigger problems to deal with.
Are you sure about this? What if you have both QBs about equally rated? Like that year, the Giants probably had several qbs about equal and perhaps could have taken either one if Barkley were taken first in the draft. In other words, I don’t necessarily think you can’t like more than one.
Yes there are a lot of QBs that are starters than are a lot worse than people realize. Bridgewater was never a game changer mostly a game manager and now he is one hit away from maybe retirement. That leg injury was brutal. You want Cousins, not me. Andy Dalton, can't win a playoff game no thanks. Alex Smith? again game manger but can't win the big one and his arm is weak. Even Foles. yes he won a super bowl but it seems odd that he wasn't able to do anything in his time as a Ram and Chief. Just think everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side and its often isn't.

True. I suppose if the gap is small then maybe, but clearly I don’t think they are taking a qb at #6 regardless of who is taken before him. If 3 other qb go in the top 5 then ... you know what I mean.
On the other hand, if you absolutely LOVE a qb (like Eli) then you trade up and get him. Don’t mess around.
You know from now till April things can change. Workouts, combine, etc.....guys who were not talked about much could all,of a sudden be made out to be upcoming darlings. The hype for qbs can be insane.
