Kyler going 1st overall?

Big Rick in FL : 2/12/2019 6:29 am
Josina Anderson seems to think so. I posted it in the Kyler Murray thread below, but think it deserves it's own thread.

Tweet from @JosinaAnderson: So....now the first question mark in the NFL Draft starts at #2.

Tweet from @JosinaAnderson: I remember when it literally took hearing Baker Mayfield's name coming out of Roger Goodell's mouth draft night before folks believed what we'd been saying all day. Draft night gonna be so fun.


If this is true I'd assume many teams will be offering picks for Rosen. I think the Giants would have be included in that. He's got a year of NFL experience. He just turned 22 and is only 3 months older then Haskins.
Interesting

This was the theory when Murray first announced he was heading to draft. Cards coach apparently really likes him.

Has she heard something else or is she just repeating what was already discussed weeks ago?

If he goes #1. Hes by no means a side fire NFL QB despite the insanity of the internet mob. Let someother team pretend hes at the Andrew Luck level. Pushes a better player down

Pretty sure this is new info. I've seen a few other people say the rumor has started picking up steam. He also just signed with Kliff Kingsbury's agent.
I would hope DG is then all in on Rosen  
The_Boss : 2/12/2019 6:48 am : link
I think hes better than any draft eligible QB this year and next. And I would trade whatever it takes (6 included if necessary) to get him.
I would not trade a first rounder for Rosen  
Oscar : 2/12/2019 6:54 am : link
The Cards are stuck in this situation and would have to dump him. I would offer the second rounder and maybe a lower pick but thats it.

They aren't stuck. They have a QB who just went 10th overall in a strong QB class. There are many teams who need a QB. We'd offer our 2nd and get laughed out. While the Fins, Redskins, Jags, Broncos, Pats all offer something better.

Agreed. Unless were offering 6, wed have no shot. The thing we are assuming is DG being interested in acquiring Rosen. I would hope he would be. In fact, if he werent, to me it would fall under derogation of duty, which should be a fireable offense.
Yes, huge red flag  
UConn4523 : 2/12/2019 7:08 am : link
its fine if you want to look at everything as a positive but anyone dumping a top pick, at QB no less should at least raise concern. But hey lets ignore that and give them the 6th overall pick, make him nice and happy sitting on the bench in 2019, and then hope hes good enough in the next 2 years after to pay him.

Rosen is fine. Id take him but not at that price. If the Dolphins want to blow their load for him go right ahead. IMO his ceiling just isnt big enough.
They'd be dumping a QB  
Big Rick in FL : 2/12/2019 7:11 am : link
Because of the offense that Kliff Kingsbury runs. He needs a mobile QB. Obviously that isn't Josh Rosen. That's not a red flag on Josh Rosen. That'd be a red flag on the Cardinals front office and GM.

Rosen would start week 1. If Eli is still around you have an open competition. If you remove loyalty and sentimentality from the equation, which I realize is hard at Jints Central, Rosen likely beats Eli out.

Rosen wouldn't sit the entire season unless Eli is carrying them to a playoff berth. While I'm confident in Eli's abilities with a proper OL, I have zero confidence in the Bettcher Boys.

We must also consider that Arizona would have to eat Rosen's signing bonus - $10.8M. While #6 seems steep, we could ask for their 2nd round pick. We would be able to still get quality rookies at the top of the 2nd and maybe move up into the bottom of the first if we package some late round picks.
Give them #6 for Rosen and #33

Or next years #2 if they don't want to part with this years.

That's a good point about the signing bonus. Would make his cap hit very low.

Good. Glad you can admit when you're wrong.
If the Cards  
Big Rick in FL : 2/12/2019 7:25 am : link
Hired a HC like Shurmur or were going to draft a pocket passer at 1 then yeah I'd agree with you about it being a huge red flag.

They didn't. They hired a HC whose only coached college football and relies on a mobile QB. That's why they'd be drafting a mobile QB at 1.

That's not a negative on Rosen. He's a pure pocket passer. It would be smart for the Cardinals to not try to fit a square peg in a round hole.

He's only played one year. How are 2 cost controlled years gone? Because he likely starts the season behind Eli? So what. If he is the guy to replace Eli, then it is worth the pick. While I agree I'd offer the #2 first, I'd bet Wash, Jax, Denver and others would be in on him, so It will like take the #6 to get him - maybe they can get the Cards #3 back (I doubt it.)
When this first broke,  
George from PA : 2/12/2019 7:32 am : link
It was thrown around to get him

OBJ for Rosen.....which should do it.....and the BBI crowd who was screaming for him...should be pleased with Him and Barkley.

I love watching OBJ but the Giants are Barkley team and I am not sure how well that will go longterm.

Did Rosen show anything ?

I get the arm, accuracy etc...but
I had a bunch of concern about lack of leadership, etc.....his team was the worst? Arizona giving up on him is a red flag...no?

Did you read the rest of the thread? If the HC wants to switch to a RPO type offense which requires a mobile QB, Rosen doesn't fit the bill and was the last group's choice. It is not a red flag - Rosen is a straight drop back QB.
He also proved to be durable which was a ?? before the draft. Not sure about his leadership - it is a legit question.
When could a transaction like this take place?

I don't want to argue anymore but here's my thoughts. I would have been ok trading back for Rosen last year, felt his upside was limited by his concussions, attitude, and lack of mobility. BBI members who are locked in also reported that he wasn't even in the conversation.

Fast forward to this year I dont think he's any better of a prospect thank Haskins and definitely not Murray if the size checks out (it won't but I still like him more). I'm also ready to try and break the mold at QB and don't need/want Eli 2.0.

So yeah, do with that what you will. If Rosen is such a no brainer the OC in Arizona would make it work. I'm not about to bail them out with the #6 overall pick.
Rosen would work for me if it was next year's first  
Heisenberg : 2/12/2019 7:40 am : link
That would be pretty good. The only reason to give them #6 is if you like Rosen better than all the QBs in this draft. I doubt that the Giants do.
The Cards had a rookie  
Big Rick in FL : 2/12/2019 7:44 am : link
With the worst OL in the NFL and a terrible supporting cast around him. Their HC who was in way over his head and fired after 1 year and their OC was fired in the middle of the year.

David Johnson averaged 3.6 YPC. Their only WR is 35 years old. After that they don't have much. They have no TE. We can't really judge him playing for that team. No QB would have been successful.

Rosen was 3-10 as a starter. Eli Manning has a better OL, RB, WR1, WR2, WR3 and TE. Yet he went 5-11.

This is what PFF said about the Cardinals OL.
Quote:
The Cardinals offensive line was in shambles when fully healthy, so it didnt help that only rookie center Mason Cole was able to stay healthy for more than 600 snaps this season. 11 different offensive linemen played at least 100 snaps for the Cardinals this season, and not a single one played well. Quarterback Josh Rosen didnt have a chance.

You dont have to be a douche if your incorrect or missused a phrase. The red flag on Rosen that you claim is non existent. New coach new regime new system he wants his own guy. Its as simple as that. If Rosen was in this class he would be right there with Haskins. To give up a 6 to get him is a deal that DG should not pass up. Give me the guy with a season of experience in the nfl. Hes shown he can play and the low ceiling you claim is just your opinion. Nfl scouts think otherwise. So again, dont be sensitive and have a normal discussion. If someon disagrees with you dont become a sarcastic prick. Your better off just removing yourself from the keyboard.

IMO. Good move for the Giants, bad trade for the Cards. They had the worst team in the NFL in 2018, and have a good young QB. If they draft another good young QB, they need to get a return on Rosen this year.
I've already said its my opinion  
UConn4523 : 2/12/2019 7:49 am : link
and just because you don't think there aren't any red flags doesn't mean they aren't there. They could be the same ones that were there before he was drafted, who knows.
Did anybody watch a Cards game this year?  
bw in dc : 2/12/2019 7:49 am : link
Rosen had no chance. That oline played most of the year like they were drunk or suffered vertigo. I think it was easily the worst in the NFL.

Until Kingsbury fixes that disaster, even Murray and his scrambling, speed and quickness will pay a price.

Your last paragraph is silly. If you are looking to run a RPO style offense, you cannot do it well with Rosen, no matter how much an OC wanted to make it work. While Rosen is much more mobile than Eli or Brady, why would you take a drop QB and make him run?

While I disagree with your assessment of Rosen and Haskins, your 2nd paragraph is the true crux of your not wanting Rosen. You want a different style QB. I won't disagree with you that a Russell Wilson/Pat Mahomes type would be my preferred QB at this point.

I am not buying that the new coaches in Arizona

True, but he didn't officially commit 100% to football until this last week. So that's probably where the Conspiracy Theory started. Even though it is all speculation, it rouses up BBI on an otherwise boring day of sports.

If he is worth trading for, he is worth #6.

Sure you try to negotiate the best deal possible but squabbling over #6 vs #10 vs #15 makes no sense.

Listen, if the Giants think Rosen is awesome than Id support it. But I doubt it. Apparently the only one even close to Barkley was Darnold which makes sense to me (add in Mayfield if he was a little taller). This isnt a no brainer though, Rosen rubs a lot of people the wrong way with how he carries himself and had several issues coming into the draft between that and concussions. Add in the fact that battling it out with Eli isnt something I can ever see happening.

Interesting - Chris Mara in speaking with Russo (re: the No. 2 pick): We liked the QBs, but the issue was we couldnt agree on which one. We all agreed on Barkley.[Schneier] (I wonder who each exec had as their QB1 and if anyone tried to push for him).



Doesn't really matter what any of us think of Rosen. What does Gettleman think? Did he like Rosen last year? And, if not, did anything happen to change his mind?

My guess is that the answers are "No" and "No".

the we in the room - ( New Window )



They liked him enough to have the owner have dinner with him. And the owner raved about the meeting.


I dont recall reading about any other dinner engagements with other prospects last spring either.

Sure you try to negotiate the best deal possible but squabbling over #6 vs #10 vs #15 makes no sense.


I dont see that. After they are drafted and start playing, most rookie QBs depreciate like new cars.

I like Rosen and understand that he played for a horrible team last year. But hes not worth a first round selection. There are still question marks. Fair value is probably a second.

I disagree. To me, Rosen is significantly better than any QB in this draft and might be better than any prospect (in a mediocre draft as a whole) available at 6. If we could also get back their second rounder, its a complete no brainer in my opinion.

QBs play longer than other positions. Say we trade for Rosen. Are we going to complain that we only had him for 14 years as opposed to 15??

Last years draft was much stronger up top.

You can't judge him off of what he did last year. The worst supporting cast in the NFL and it isn't particularly close. Yet his record and Eli's wasn't very far off.
It comes down to how they ranked him  
UConn4523 : 2/12/2019 8:38 am : link
last year vs Haskins this year. Im guessing its extremely close and allows the Giants to take the QB that wouldnt have an issue sitting behind Eli. Adding Rosen behind Eli makes very little sense to me.

The reasons to move on are pretty concrete and not really far fetched. Age, recent performance and state of the team.

As for forcing a pick and bad trades, thats pretty subjective. Jets fans dont think they forced the pick. Haskins at 6 wouldn't be forcing the pick.

Trading the #6 for Rosen, #33 and $10 mil of prepaid signing bonus sounds like a fair deal to me.

Rosen will be a great QB, but to dismiss him based on his first year seems very short sighted. Lots of rookie QBs struggle their first year. And his stats were much better than Eli's his first year and he had much worse personnel around him than Eli did his first year. Was Eli's 55 QBR his first year a predictor of his future? No. Than why should Rosen's 66 QBR?

A team trading for Rosen will be getting him for 1 million and change for most of his rookie deal and forgoing paying him his signing bonus. Having a franchise QB locked in for less than what your paying the Long Snapper is a serious advantage to building an overall better team

I think, and keep me honest, the compensation for Bradford was driven by desperation. The Vikings were out in the cold when Bridgewater got spaghetti knee. So that was distorted by circumstances. And I think the comp for Bradfords first trade to Philly did NOT involve a first rounder...

Bridgewater for a three made some sense. At least he played and had success getting his team to the playoffs.

What has Rosen done? Nothing yet. I watched a few Cards games this year off and one because I wanted to see him play. I liked what I saw when he wasnt getting plastered. But the resume is incomplete. So its not even close for me - a second rounder tops.
My problem with Rosen is his history of concussions. But it didn't

They now probably have a choice of either with the highest pick of the QB needy teams. Both are similar type pocket passers. If they dont trade Jacksonville probably will rather than try and jump us to get Haskins.

I think, and keep me honest, the compensation for Bradford was driven by desperation. The Vikings were out in the cold when Bridgewater got spaghetti knee. So that was distorted by circumstances. And I think the comp for Bradfords first trade to Philly did NOT involve a first rounder...

Bridgewater for a three made some sense. At least he played and had success getting his team to the playoffs.

What has Rosen done? Nothing yet. I watched a few Cards games this year off and one because I wanted to see him play. I liked what I saw when he wasnt getting plastered. But the resume is incomplete. So its not even close for me - a second rounder tops.


Bridgewater helped his team get to the playoffs? Outside of starting the final game of the season, which they loss and had no bearing on anything, he threw a single pass.

this is serious, then the Giants would have to offer #6 to have any chance of trading for Rosen, especially since rightly or wrongly, this QB class is perceived as weak. And even that might not be enough.

I am ambivalent about doing so. Rosen has beautiful mechanics and accuracy. He also had no chance in Arizona as many have noted, and his contract is cheap for the next few years. But it is a top 10 pick, and he has an injury history.

But it is probably moot, because I doubt DG would make that trade. I assume if they were going to do so, then it would happen before they have to pay Eli his $5 million roster bonus.

Ok, you want some more examples?

Carson Palmer from Cincinnati to Oakland. Traded for 17th overall (Dre Kirkpatrick) and 2013 2nd rounder (Giovani Bernard) on October 18, 2011.

Jay Cutler (and 5th round pick) from Denver to Chicago. Traded for 18th overall pick (Robert Ayers), 3rd round pick (Mike Wallace), 2010 1st round pick (#11 Anthony Davis) and Kyle Orton, April 2, 2009.

Rosen will be a great QB, but to dismiss him based on his first year seems very short sighted. Lots of rookie QBs struggle their first year.

No. Than why should Rosen's 66 QBR?


I keep seeing the logic that since Eli sucked his rookie year that other QB's sucking mean they will have a long and fruitful career.

The ones who wanted to pick Darnold keep using his poor year as some kind of bizarro evidence that he's going to be fine.

What last year showed about the rookie QB's is that we know little more about them going into this year than we did going into last year.

Comparing a 66QBR vs. a 55QBR means practically nothing if that 66QBR doesn't eventually lead to a long-term starting job that delivers success.

The great thing on Rosen is the Giants thoroughly scouted and interviewed him last year. And they have a whole year of NFL tape to see if they saw enough flashes despite poor talent around him (and possibly system too) to believe if he is a worthy successor to Eli. There will be alot more projection with the top of this class and the highest upside guy (Murray) is not the Giants prototype for what they like for a Qb size-wise.

Right now if they are OK with him character wise, I take him over this entire class (but I do like Haskins closely followed by Lock).

I'm not saying Rosen's rookie year is somehow confirmation that he will have the same career as Eli or even a successful career. I'm just saying to dismiss Rosen as a long term prospect simply because he had a poor rookie season makes no sense, especially considering who he had to work with. If we had applied the same logic to Eli, we don't win two SBs. Rosen coming out was considered the most polished QB in the draft. The real question marks were character and health. Considering that he seemed to be a good citizen despite getting pummeled by a woeful OL, he partially answered the character question to my mind. Health? Who knows. But he didn't have any concussions and he held up physically better than Darnold.

PatersonPlank : 2/12/2019 9:36 am : link
his back. WHy not give the #6 this year for him, he legitimately could be our franchise guy (not even a stretch). Many people wanted to use our #2 pick last draft on him, now he has one year experience under his belt. He is better than any QB in the 2019 draft, and possible better than any QB in 2020 too. I bet there are some people who think he is better than MAyfield and Darnold.

I think it would be great to give our #6 for him. I'd feel a lot better about this than our #6 for Haskins or Lock.
Somebody Posted This Thought The First Time This Trade Idea Came Up...  
Jim in Tampa : 2/12/2019 9:38 am : link
So it's not my original thought...

But how funny would it be if AZ wanted Murray, but felt they could get him lower in the 1st RD AND get a team (like the Giants) to overpay for Rosen with a 1st and an 2nd.

AZ takes a non-QB with the #1 overall (Bosa?)

The Giants knowing that AZ wants Murray takes him at 6 overall and holds AZ's feet to the fire forcing them to reduce their asking price.

In the end AZ gets both Bosa and Murray... and the Giants trade their #1 (and nothing more) for Rosen.

If Darnold turns out to be mediocre, the Jets not only forced the pick, but they also made a bad trade. If Haskins doesn't pan out, he most definitely will have been a forced pick.

I for one am not saying this season is toast. I certainly think if we strengthen the OL, become a run centric team, and allow Eli time and to use play action more, this offense can be successful. It certainly was the second half of the season. However, at some point we do need Eli's replacement. I think we will be too good to be in a position to draft one of the better QBs in next year's draft and the year after. So if we don't get a QB this draft, we are looking to sign a FA, and unfortunately the NFL is littered with examples of team's overpaying marginal QBs in FA.

What I'm saying is don't force the pick or the trade. Build a solid team. Then add the QB. If teams with two solid units or one dominant one can make the playoffs with Case Keenum, Blake Bortles, Lamar Jackson or Nick Foles, I'm pretty sure if we build the core to be strong, we can win with a mid-1st draft pick or a FA starter.

He had probably the least favorable situation in the entire NFL from a Qb standpoint. Horrible offensive line, not great WRs , potentially weak offensive system/coaching. Despite all that he still flashed skills and tremendous accuracy and ability to read a defense at times. Put him in the right situation he probably has a Goff like jump to his second season.

QB is one of the tougher positions to find and are at a heavy premium. If we have the opportunity to get our QB of the future with our #6 pick either via trade or drafting him outright now is the time to do it. We passed up some potentially pretty good ones lastt year and now Eli is a year older and on the last year of his contract.

We are an OL or two away from a very strong offense. We hopefully can use FA to shape the D with players that fit Bettcher's vision. Vernon likely to be let go if I had to guess. Never really lived up to the contract, getting older and somewhat injury prone. Vets also wont have the rookie learning curve. Lots of DEs potentially available in FA and some good LBs too.
But I do agree Fatman

ryanmkeane : 2/12/2019 10:07 am : link
i think most agree with you, BUT the main problem I continue to see and what most aren't talking about...is if we pass again this year, there's no guarantee that we will have a top 10 pick. I'm not saying that just going BPA is the wrong strategy...it certainly should be the case when you're picking this high. However, when you have an old QB who is pretty close to being washed up, AND you passed on the good QB class last year, the narrative changes. We can't just continue to ignore the most important position in all of sports just because we think we can get a really good defensive player. QB trumps everything, and the longer we wait to address it, the worse off we will be. We will eventually become desperate to the point of trading away our future assets and #1 picks.

We could have a high pick in 2020 if we suck, but it could also be in the teens or 20s, in which case, then we are talking about severely mortgaging the future for the 2020 QB.

We have the 6th pick now. We can either take a QB here, or trade up a few slots which would not take a 1st in all likelihood (unless we moved all the way up to #1). We know what our situation is now, and that there probably QBs that we could target with our selection here. It would be really dumb, in my opinion, to take a defensive end instead of a really good QB prospect.

at a premium, but if you miss on a QB while passing up assets that improve the rest of the team, it puts you in a death spiral.

If you trade up to get a guy and he fails, you've just sunk time into seeing the guy fail, lost the opportunity to improve in other areas, and have to go back to the drawing board.

everyone keeps saying "if you take a QB high, and he fails, then you really are in trouble..."

Obviously yes, that is the case. But you have to take risks and you have to get a stud QB if you have conviction on him. If he ends up sucking...well....that could happen. It could happen with any player. If every team thought this way, nobody would ever take a QB high. Everyone keeps making excuses for not taking a QB instead of just taking a QB! It's getting ridiculous. We are never going to find the absolutely perfect QB prospect.

That's true...but in today's NFL, the cost to trade up is really high, and teams don't like risking to wait around for that QB to fall to them. For example...let's say our pick next year is 16. You think Gettleman is going to sit and wait especially if we passed on the QBs this year?

FatMan in Charlotte : 2/12/2019 10:21 am : link
you have to take risks, but the point that is often lost is that having strong units (or in essence drafting good players regardless of the position) makes the team stronger.

Every year, half the playoff teams rotate in and out. And even the great QB's (except for Brady) miss the postseason sometimes. Rivers missed the playoffs 7 out of 8 years. Brees missed the playoffs 3 out of 4 while the team had a historically bad D. Cam Newton misses the playoffs as much as he makes them. This past season, 7 out of the top 8 highest paid QB's missed the playoffs.

Eli's ending his run, but a strong team will help mitigate that transition regardless of who teh QB is. When Romo went down, Prescott was able to still take the team to the playoffs, not because he's a great QB, but because they have the best OL. Bortles rode a suffocating D to the AFC Championship game. Case Keenum took the Vikings there. Pretty much any QB in Andy Reid's system gets them there and then quickly exits.

What we have is an aging QB, but we also have a pretty bad team.

Rosen would start week 1. If Eli is still around you have an open competition. If you remove loyalty and sentimentality from the equation, which I realize is hard at Jints Central, Rosen likely beats Eli out.

Interesting or ironic? The problem is bw has made it abundantly clear he does not like and has never liked Eli because of the way he handled the draft. It's difficult to believe that this does not color all of his opinions on this issue

Draft round only matters for the players' first contract. Those 3 teams pay their QBs top $$ (though in TBs case much of it is under the table). GB should be in that mix too since it took an AR injury to keep them out of the postseason last year.

And while they haven't seen the same sustained success, I'd put the Saints and Colts as "high-ceiling" teams too. Brees/Luck can absolutely carry their teams to the SB like Eli did twice.

Dak (Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins) needs to play turnover free and ride the D/running game. Much less margin for error with a QB like that.

It's not about what round they are drafted, it's about not settling for adequate QB play. Hell, I'm halfway on the Stidham bandwagon if the Giants want a latter round QB.

And yes, those three teams you listed, along with the Chiefs, Colts, and Rams (though I don't love Goff), have higher ceilings, because having a great QB provides more sustainable year-to-year offensive performance.

You probably..

I'm talking about sustained success. Goff is an interesting case. Will he elevate the Rams or will he rest and fall on the talent level around him.

I'm pointing out the rounds of Wilson and Brady because it seems to be taken as fact here that if we don't draft a QB high in the 1st round, and likely have to trade up to do so, we can't be successful.

But how funny would it be if AZ wanted Murray, but felt they could get him lower in the 1st RD AND get a team (like the Giants) to overpay for Rosen with a 1st and an 2nd.

AZ takes a non-QB with the #1 overall (Bosa?)

The Giants knowing that AZ wants Murray takes him at 6 overall and holds AZ's feet to the fire forcing them to reduce their asking price.

In the end AZ gets both Bosa and Murray... and the Giants trade their #1 (and nothing more) for Rosen.

The Pats had Drew Bledsoe whom they took with the #1 pick in Draft and then signed to the largest contract in NFL History over 100 million dollars when they drafted Tom Brady in the 6th round

The Seahawks had just signed Matt Flynn in free agency to a 3 yr 21 mil deal contract which was pretty good money at the time. He was pretty well thought of then as Rodgers back up and he was coming to Seattle to be the man when they drafted Wilson in the 3rd round

The point being- neither the Pats nor the Seahawks made drafting mid to low rd QBs their plan. They had other irons in the fire and their lower round risks them paid off and knocked the other guys out of the picture.

The Steelers had the Kordell Stewarts, Tommy Maddoxs and Kent Grahams of the world before they finally took the risk on a high end QB in Big Ben at 12 and low and behold moved into a team that couldnt win to a perennial contender and a team that won 2 SBs and went to a 3rd.

He's a rookie. I expect more from Eli despite the OL struggles. He's a 15 year veteran.

And I'm likely one of the few on this board who thinks 30-40% of Eli's sacks are on him, and not on the line. Eli's fastball, if you will, has always been his ability to read defenses. I think he's lost some MPH on that fastball and doesn't read defenses as well as he used to. So that's leading to more indecision; and, therefore, more sacks.
Hmmm.

He started the first 48 games of his career and made the postseason all 3 seasons. Year 4, he missed 2 games with a shoulder injury and then suffered a lacerated kidney and partially torn ab muscle and missed the remainder of the season.

2016 is the only "full" season he played (missed 1 game due to a concussion) in which the Colts missed the postseason. And he played that entire season with a lingering shoulder injury that required surgery and subsequently cost him the 2017 season.

So yes, the Colts with a healthy Luck had sustained success.

I think Eli's decision making is definitely in play and can skew that stat - yes.

At the same time, that stat may also reflect why it's more important than ever to get a younger, more athletic QB. Improvisation is an asset that this team absolutely needs. And Eli is the complete antithesis of that...

Sustained Success  
Lambuth_Special : 2/12/2019 12:58 pm : link
Doesn't have to be defined as making the playoffs every year.

It just gives your team a better chance of making the playoffs every year than a journeyman QB, since team defense is less reliable year-to-year.

On top of that, a great QB increases your odds of making a deep playoff run.

How many journeymen QBs have won superbowls during the last 20 years? Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, and Nick Foles basically.

Obviously, the idea isn't that you de-emphasize defense and hope that a great offense carries you, but that you establish a great offense, centered on the QB, and hope you can capitalize on the years that your defense is upper echelon.

This notion that you cant give up a higher pick for a guy the following year is ridiculous. GB did exactly that for Favre, and Im pretty sure they ended up happy with their decision.

Ultimately, I still love Rosen and would deal the #6 for Rosen and AZs third round pick. That gets us back into the third and gets us our QB of the future and, really, the present, because we should start him immediately at that point.

Missing on a QB with your 1st pick is no worse than missing any other position with a high pick. There's still a stupid commitment from the FO to "make the pick work" even if he stinks to high heaven. See Flowers, Eric or Apple, Eli.

Now if you've traded a 2, and next year's 1 & 2 picks to move up for said QB, you've created a holler.

Oof, Rosen, Barkley, OBJ and Engram...young and talented, add a dominating RT. Look the fuck out. Use the draft on Defense, we would be drafting into its strength.

Part of the reason we are in this position is because Reese missed on entire year's of drafts, including on first round picks.

When that happens at the QB position, look what happens.

Just look at failed QB's taken high. or just look at 2015. Drafting Winston hasn't panned out for the Bucs and they are treading water and still seem tied to keeping him, furthering their predicament.

Meanwhile when a Kevin White at WR doesn't pan out at #7 for the Bears, it may hurt them, but not to the extent wasting years on Winston will.

And that's with a QB with a modicum of success.

Jax spent 4 years trying to rely on Bortles - and hell, they go to a championship game and replace him the next season

The Redskins and Dolphins have been treading water since selecting RGIII and Tannehill. And just like we lament NYG's terrible run, if you don't think those teams are in a poor position, I don't know what to say.

A missed QB will put you in a hole for 4-5 years as the team muscles through their rookie contract.

If he didn't sign a contract saying he's the #1 overall pick then there's always going to be doubt. He might as well go to the combine he has nothing to lose and he's probably going to measure well in every category other than the size-related ones.

agree that missing on a QB high is worse than doing so for any other position. Christian Ponder and E.J. Manuel are two recent big misses. I also remember when the Bills traded a #1 and a #4 for Rob Johnson.

It's too early to make any conclusions about Darnold, Allen, Rosen, and Jackson. They were rookies on bad teams.

As far as this year, I'd prefer not to take a QB at #6, but I also think it's probably moot because I expect Haskins and Lock to be taken before our pick. I don't think DG will trade up for either. Nor should he.

Jones won't last until the second round. I also don't think the Giants will take Grier or Finley, although the latter is certainly more likely. That leaves another day three QB (Cornelius?) as a possibility, which will certainly elicit understandable groans from the BBI faithful. Or maybe a trade for Sloter.

I'm typically not a fan of trading out of the top 10, especially this year since we have a ton of day three picks. But it might well be a possibility. Extra draft capital next year could be used to move up to get a QB. This draft is loaded with OL and DL, which is just what we need. Maybe trade down and take Ford.

QB is the most important position on the field and if you miss on a top 10 pick QB it has lasting consequences. It's not about waiting for the perfect prospect, it's about making sure you get the right guy. There have been many failed 1st round QBs (more failures than successes) actually so it is smart to be careful with which one you take. You say we need to get someone for Shurmur to "develop"... he can't just develop anyone into a star starter, otherwise our future QB would already be on the roster and his name would be Kyle Lauletta. Positive thinking isn't going to win games, picking the right QB is. You can't just take a QB just to take one. We need to hit on this #6 pick regardless of the position. We missed on Flowers and Apple with top 10 picks and it set this franchise back half a decade.

NoGainDayne : 2/12/2019 3:35 pm : link

It is funny that in almost any sport you talk about the highest upside guys being graded the highest but you have incredibly high upside guys like Russel Wilson fall because of a singular physical characteristic. Even someone like Donald, just an absolute beast falls. Rodgers was a dynamite prospect that was graded down for being 6'2.

If Beckham or Cooks were taller they would have gone higher.

For some reason teams seem more willing to risk sub par stats than sub par height.

You are letting one stupid comment make you afraid of drafting a QB. If everyone in the franchise is convinced the guy is the next thing, you will still likely be wrong. You can't be afraid to play. This thing where we have to wait for the perfect prospect is crazy. Has the team been terrible?..yes it has. Has the QB played well...no he hasn't. Is he old, you bet he is. Contract.. in his last year 23 million with only 6 million dead if cut. It is time to try to find one. Yes, we might miss. So what? The guy that has everyone drooling for 2021 might miss. If your argument is that the front office sees no one in the draft or no one on anyone's else's roster that could be the guy I question the FO and coaching. We have to able to DEVELOP players, THAT is what has made NE into a perennial contender. DG needs to get someone for Shurmur to develop. Shurmur was hired for that very purpose. If either one them cannot do this, we have the wrong people in charge and THAT is bigger problem than the QB. Poor management hell is far worse than QB hell.


Great post 👍🏻

You have coined Management Hell.

the overall consensus is that Haskins has a high floor in terms of his football acumen and character. If Giants think he won't be a bust and he'll be a really good NFL QB, then there is absolutely zero reason to not draft him if he's there.
Rosen...Seriously?

Unreal how some posters take Rosen seriously. The Giants need to make a *clear* upgrade at the QB position at some point, not bring in someone with a load of question marks, a limited skill set, and a shitty attitude.

I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona picks Murray. He's head and shoulders above Rosen. Regardless of Murray's size, his dynamic skill set is intriguing.

What's Rosen's "limited skill set"?
How did his "shitty attitude" manifest itself?
Is Murray another Lo Ball with a meddling father?

Or is he a more athletic Doug Flutie?

Flutie II would be okay, as his career numbers werent bad. He just never got the chance to have his team.

Murray may be better than Flutie but only in a less than traditional NFL offense.
