Will the Giants have to trade up to get a QB?

Vin_Cuccs : 2/10/2019 12:13 am
Doing a bit of thinking, which is dangerous this late....

Now everyone will obviously have their own preferences, but there are three quarterbacks worthy of an upper 1st round grade: Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, and Kyler Murray.

So clearly, the Giants sit at #6 overall, with the Cardinals, 49ers, Jets, Raiders, and Buccaneers in front of them.

The aforementioned teams all have viable options at QB: Rosen, Garoppolo, Darnold, Carr, and Winston, respectively. There is a chance that one of those teams is not enamored with their current starter, but that seems somewhat unlikely. Carr and Winston Are probably on the shakiest footing, but they have recently gotten votes of confidence from the coaching staffs.

So then the real question is if one of the top five teams doesn’t draft a quarterback, what is the likelihood that they find a trade partner who wants to move up and select one?

The Jaguars, one spot behind the Giants, are clearly the biggest competition for a quarterback. With that said, there have been several reports linking them to Nick Foles, which makes sense, because they are a win now team and they feel they are probably only a veteran quarterback away.

Lions, Bills, Broncos, Bengals, Packers, Dolphins, Falcons and Redskins round out the top 15. Of that group, only the Broncos, Bengals, Dolphins, and maybe the Redskins have a need a quarterback.

So what would the cost them to move up ahead of the Giants to take a quarterback? The standard draft pick value chart would tell us....

Redskins-15 to 5 would cost them their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
Dolphins-13 to 5 would cost them their 1st, 3rd, and 4th.
Bengals-11 to 5 would cost them their 1st and 2nd.
Broncos-10 to 5 would cost them their their 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th.
Jaguars -7 to 5 would cost them their 1st and 3rd.

Now obviously, this methodology is flawed. The chart tends to be a little too unreliable and pragmatic. But for the sake of this exercise, let’s say it is at least somewhat accurate. I think adding additional compensation is necessary, as every year there is inflation to move up in the draft.

My point is that all three QB’s will probably not go within the top 5. The real question is who will be willing to move up high enough to take Haskins?

If it’s not the Haskins, Lock would be a nice consolation prize. Murray is the wild card.

The real question is if the Giants Fall in love with Haskins, and have to trade up, how far will they have to go? Anyone else behind the Giants knows that they’ve got to move up to at least 5 if they love Haskins whereas the Giants aren’t sure how high they’ll have to go.

Last year the Jets traded up to number 3 with the Colts. The cost was the number 6 pick and three 2nd round picks. Obviously the Giants don’t have three 2nd rounders. The chart says their 1st, 2nd and 4th would be enough, even though that is less than what the Jets paid last year.

It comes down to this:
Do the Giants like Haskins enough to move up for him if they have to?
Well another team jump the Giants to draft Haskins?
If Haskins goes before 6, is Lock an option?
Could Haskins and Lock both go in the top 5, and if so, is Murray an option?

there hasn’t been much talk about Jaguars falling in love with a rookie QB. My bet would be that Haskins is available at 6.
If they do their idiots  
montanagiant : 2/10/2019 12:42 am : link
Way too many holes to fill to trade up for any of these QBs in the draft. It would set us back even more years
There have been a few reports  
ryanmkeane : 2/10/2019 12:43 am : link
that Dolphins are waiting until 2020 for QB. With their roster, they should be near the bottom of the league this coming season so it makes sense.
My stance since we started addressing the topic  
BlueLou'sBack : 2/10/2019 1:09 am : link
is that I believe some one will trade up ahead of the Giants for Haskins, but not for either Lock or Murray because of their perceived risk factors.

I also don't see much reason to prefer Haskins, so I would hang tight at 6 and take Lock if he's there. If two teams trade up for QBs above the Giants, then one of the top 4 players on the DL are available, and I'd wait to take one of them, and see whom among the next few QBs slid out of day one for a possible trade up on day 2. Jones, Grier, Murray might all be on the board after day 1 is accounted for.

You have, in 2020, not only a likely stronger draft crop at QB, you have a better chance of grabbing Brisset as a UFA, or Carr or Winston or perhaps even Rosen via a trade.

Add to that, I'm not that's anxious to flush Eli and it's possible Lauletta becomes more serious in year two.

For a lot of fundamental reasons, I would not sweat moving up this year.

Having said all that, I think DG will nab Haskins or Lock at 6. I believe in KISS.
This is not how you pick a QB. You don't draft a position.  
robbieballs2003 : 2/10/2019 1:17 am : link
You draft people. You cannot say there are 3 worthy QBs so we get a consolation prize. It is like finding a spouse. You don't connect with one and then settle for the second best one just because they were there. That is like marrying the rebound.

If you like Haskins then that is your guy. You don't hope to get him and settle after that.
I think we'll have to trade up if we want Haskins.  
yatqb : 2/10/2019 1:18 am : link
As of this moment (before the Combine) I expect that we'll have to trade some picks from both this and next year's draft to get up high enough to land him.

I also don't see us falling in love with several QBs and being willing to wait for whichever one drops to us.

This will be a VERY interesting draft year for the team, as I suspect that we will want to land a QB with our first pick.

If your post was addressed to mine, and not the OP, you missed my point. I really don't see much difference between Haskins and Lock to prefer one over the other. So why invest resources to move up? You sound like you have to make a decision that this guy is better than that guy. Maybe not.

Last year I would have sworn Mayfield WAS NOT on the same tier as Darnold or Rosen, and now (for the moment) I look to have been wrong.

Between Rosen and Darnold I had a really tough time prefering one over the other. Rosen looked like a better passer with a far poorer support group, Darnold looked like he possessed more "it" factor and leadership - more ability to raise the level of play around him. And after 1 year, you're crazy if you think the better QB has truly emerged among all 3 of them.

It's not so easy to pick - unlike a wife.

But just because you don't see much of a difference between the two doesn't mean other teams including the Giants dont. Even if both players have the same grade it doesn't mean they are both great fits for this team, franchise, city, etc.
If the Giants like Lock  
mattyblue : 2/10/2019 3:03 am : link
and Haskins (for arguments sake) its still possible both are available at 6 or neither are there at 6. That’s when I would assume Gettleman would decide how much he likes one or the other and would then decide if he wants to move up. If in some very strange circumstance they like 3 QBs equally and think they will all be the same in the NFL, they might be smarter to stay at 6.

I would guess that the Giants would move up if the cost wasn’t exceedingly high. You can go year by year and see how different the value for trading down is every year. Gettleman needs to address what is in front of him and how he feels about those players. Not players that may be coming next year or in 2 years. How does he like Haskins? Does he think he’s the real deal? Not is Haskins better than the some guy next year. That guy next year could get hurt, play like shit, really anything. You look at one player and decide if he is or is not worth your pick.

I say, No.  
George from PA : 2/10/2019 6:06 am : link
Especially, if Foles end up in Jacksonville.

Figure...3 blue chippers....will be tough to pass up anyway you look at it. So you must overpay for top 3 spots.

That leave 2 spots, 4th and 5th...possibly interested in moving back...

Gruden is most likely....and they already have a ton of picks.

I am still not convinced, we are drafting a QB at 6.....let alone moving up.

A stud defensemen will be there at 6 at a position of need....

Will the top 3 QBs go by 6....no way.

Haskins most likely

Murray might surprise

Lock should be available
Drafting a quarterback will set them back 5 years?  
joeinpa : 2/10/2019 7:14 am : link
Keep reading about all the holes on this team. One or the holes is a young quarterback to get ready behind Eli.

I also keep reading about getting the building blocks in place before drafting the next quarterback. A quarterback is a pretty big building block, one worthy of striking while the iron is hot.

They passed on this building block last year at 2. I d say passing again this year at 6 is a higher risk for setting the team back 5 years.

there is a certain percentage of the fanbase that will never like any of the QB prospects. Some are waiting for something that doesn't exist: A perfect prospect with no risk.

This may not be a strong class, but it's worth pointing out that you guys tore apart every prospect last year, and most of you didn't think Baker was a franchise QB either.

Not really. Everybody knew Goff was going number 1. The Eagles loved Wentz.

Doomster : 2/10/2019 7:59 am : link
really in the future plans of their respective teams?

I doubt it.....and saying the right thing is just a smoke screen.....none of those qb's are capable of bringing their teams to the next level....

And there are other teams willing to trade their soul, IF, they think a certain qb is their guy....

So, I would not be surprised that possibly 2 qb's are gone before we pick....

Trade up? I doubt there is a QB worth that...and this team just has too many holes....

The problem is, if DG is true to his word, that he is trying to put the best team possible out on the field, another good draft, and if we get lucky with a couple free agents, this team could approach a level where we may be picking mid round next year in the draft...

So two seasons with a #2 and #6 picks, and no foreseeable franchise qb, is that not qb hell? Or just bad luck, that there were no franchise qb's out there?

This offseason and draft will be focused on strengthening the trenches. If Lock falls to the 2nd or 3rd round the Giants might make a move.

during the combine the Giants really think one of the QBs is a franchise QB that is rising in the draft than I don't have a problem if they go get him. Sure we all would rather they pick him at 6 if he is a franchise QB bit the combine will give them a much better idea what to do.

I agree. Of course Haskins is a risk but any position is. I think after the combine Haskins value is going to increase a lot. Haskins at 6 if his combine is what I think it will be. If he craps the bed at the combine then that's different but I don't expect it. Somebody may move up but looking at Vin Cuccs evaluation numbers I find it a stretch but you never know. I'm also hoping some of these QB needt teams like the Jags go for Foles or one of the other FA's. Maybe they wait and take the chance on Murray.
Getting value is important as well as a Good/Great player  
MotownGIANTS : 2/10/2019 10:01 am : link
but there is a strong possibility that we could be able to PICK ANY QB in the ENTIRE draft 1st @ 6. Barring like last year that you are staring a generational player in the face you have to grab a QB. That does not happen often partly due to it is a premium position and teams 1 thru 5 are usually in dire need of a QB. Now if an OL (RT/C) which we need just as bad if not slightly more is rated as 6th overall or higher then you have to make a decent sized decision, go no-sexy pick and against conventional thinking. DL and OLB (pass rusher) is also a major need but is the strength of this draft as well with good OL being in decent supply as well. So you could wait until Rd2 to address DL and use multiple 4th/5ths to get back into Rd3 unless Gettleman is going to work his OL magic and find some hidden gems in Rds 4 & 5.

If no QB has been picked by 6 ... This is where your scout personnel and new GM makes their money. Remember he also instilled a new rating system and scouting process. We should be able to pick the guy that is the best of the lot and can produce with a bevy of weapons and a good OL. Even if the pick has to sit a yr so be it .... most need to no rookie QB is going to come in take you to the SB. In a few very cases some were along for the ride on teams that were already very good, but they lost.

Getting Haskins @ 6 and sitting him 1 yr will be fine especially if we get the RT situation fixed in FA. Eli is not Eli of old as we all know. I was and still is on Eli can be replaced mantra, but in the right situation going with the ORIGINAL plan is not so horrible. Eli takes the 5 mill deduction (able to be made back as incentives) we put that into the OL to help address a FA (RT), re-sign Collins, extend Brown, Jon H returns to C from injury and pick up a ER in Rd2. If somehow we can do all that and get a viable starting FS in FA we are not back into discussion for at least battling for our division.

If we address 1 and 3 in FA which is possible we could jump start the rebuild a bit and not lose prime years on OBJ, Collins, EE, Shep and Barkley.

Needs in order (Pre FA):
OL (RT/C)
QB
FS
DL
LB
WR (#2)
CB (Depth)

Ivan15 : 2/10/2019 10:38 am : link
I think it is more likely that they trade back, get extra 2nd and 3rd round picks, and get a quality edge rusher or o-lineman in the first round.

Then Trade back into the 1st round to get one of the Big 3 or Jones.

The Giants will have to trade up for Haskins or Lock IMO. Teams always overdraft QBs. This year won't be any different. Haskins is the consensus #1 QB, and Elway apparently loves Lock.

I don't think the Giants will trade up for either. DG may inquire, but won't want to get into a bidding war, especially given the cost, the QBs, and the enormous number of holes on this team.

I also don't think a second round QB is likely, unless Jones is available. I don't see the Giants using a second round pick on Finley or Grier.

The most likely option is a day three QB to compete with Lauletta. Maybe Taylor Cornelius. Trading for Kyle Sloter is also a possibility.

If the Giants trade up they had better be as convicted about Haskins as they were about Eli. Last draft, reports were the FO couldn’t agree on a QB. Not sure if that was a contributing factor in not drafting a QB as they may have loved Barkley that much. But to trade up and give up valuable assets when the team has numerous holes to fill, everyone needs to be on board.

And if they trade up how high do they go? Do they go to #1 and give up the farm but guarantee they get their man? Or, do they hedge their bets and go to #3 like the Jets last year?

Big difference from last year when the perception was there were multiple franchise-level QBs available with fewer ?’s than this year. Or, they would have taken Barkley. This year the consolation prize could be Bosa or Allen.

Come draft day, if Haskins is their guy, they will trade to #1 and be done with it. Its the way NYG ownership like to do it. For your QB, it does not really matter (within reasonable values) what you give to get there. If they are not drafting QBs, then they will not be waiting and counting on #3 or #6 to get their guy.

The only way I can see them taking Haskins at #6 is if the top 5 DEs/DTs are gone and he is still rated high enough to not pass on. This would be my worst nightmare draft day.

I agree with this. If the Giants really are sold on a QB, they will do anything to get him. That will cost a lot of picks. The Giants really need these picks to rebuild the team.

I just do not see that special QB that would cause the Giants to give the farm to move up to #1. Does anyone?

Sort of. The beats close to the team were almost all cautioning and saying the Giants are leaning non QB with many thinking it'd be Barkley. Now Schwartz followed by Vachiano are saying Qb one year under Eli. I think there is a good chance this is our Plan A. It makes sense and follows the way the Maras like to do stuff. A player they really like they almost always try to do right and let them finish out their contract. They prefer this type of way of dealing with their players (as has been shown throughout the years).

Eli gets one more year, finishes out his contract. Mentors the rookie QB and then the rook takes over the next year.

As the college season went on it is pretty clear why he went back to school. Haskins also came out of nowhere this year as far as NFL prospects go because I don't think OSU has ever had a pocket passer at QB under Meyer.



False. No one here mentioned Haskins as a potential target until draft articles came out hyping Haskins.


Well I can't speak for anyone else, but the first time I thought he was going to be a 1/2rd prospect was against Maryland. He really showed me a lot of moxie to win that game in a real bad spot for OSU. Than his play got better as the year progressed against big time defenses and thought he may be the guy at 6.

Well you didn’t share that opinion here. BBI had zero interest in Haskins until the bowl game.

The consensus on BBI was that this draft was a Herbert or bust at the QB position. Now a sizable cut wants to trade up for Haskins.

Sheep.


Not for those of us who watched him. And for those who were enamored with him, and that was mostly driven by what they read on the internet, some eventually came around when they actually took the time to watch Herbert play.

It's clear to me as far back as the '90s here at BBI, most BBIers don't watch college football; and those who do, struggle to understand what they are watching.
