Five QBs in the top 13. Now, I am still a believer in picking a QB at 6 here (I love Haskins), but figured I would post it here. GBN Top 50 For 2020 Draft - ( New Window )
On the same trajectory, he will be the next touched by the hand of God RB
His issues are he has fumbled 12 times in college and has only 16 career pass receptions. RBs need to be able involved in the passing game now in the NFL. Not quite hand of God material.
How much work scouts put in evaluating the next years prospects when the need for a QB comes up. It is an interesting factor that can add to a decision to draft a QB during a rebuild. Especially is there is a possibility that you would need to move up to get one this year.

My assumption is that he continues on the same developmental arc, especially in pass catching.
Even if he isn't the demi-God that Sequon is, he is blue-chip material.
Why it is not acceptable for the Giants to wait for 2020 Â
Seven QBs next year right now. How many at the end of next year? Sounds too high.
1) Last year it would have cost the Giants one premium draft pick to have their choice of 4 of the 5 top QB prospects.
This year it will probably cost them two premium picks to have their choice of any QB, unless Arizona goes Murray. Perhaps one falls to them at 6. As in most years, we have a late entrant to the best QB group in Drew Todd.
If next year the Giants go from a three win season to a five win season to a seven win season they will have perhaps the 14th pick in the first round. This is a far weaker pick than 2nd or 6th. They can't move up to the top five without throwing in multiple premium draft picks that they will not have next year.
So they can wait at 14 to see what falls to them, and not likely to be one of those really sought after, or they can use next year's 1st and quite possibly 2nd to trade up.
We sacrificed OBJ to have a strong draft position this year. If we wait to next year, who knows, DG may trade Barkley to get the draft picks. (just joking, I think)
2) If we wait until next year then the plan of using Eli in his last season to mentor the new QB goes down the drain. So Eli next season is in the same position as this year as the starting QB and no one to tutor the new QB in 2020. Huge waste of money on Eli. (Even is we finally have the personnel on the O-Line, it will take them half the season to learn to play as a unit.)
3) If we draft a QB next year, and he is taught by Eli and starts the last half of the season, reasonable hope that the QB will be good enough for us to contend in 2020. As in the case of Eli's first two seasons.
If we wait to 2020 to bring in a new QB to learn on the job, then as a raw rookie QB very little chance of a winning team.
For 2020. Not 2019.
a good or even franchise qb may well be or could be made available in 2020.
I put some attention to Taylor this season, and he's good but nowhere near Barkley IMO, not the same suddenness, not the same wiggle.
His issues are he has fumbled 12 times in college and has only 16 career pass receptions. RBs need to be able involved in the passing game now in the NFL. Not quite hand of God material.
Plus, Eason is from Washington so he’s going to be very comfortable taking the helm. I expect him to have a huge year.
But the point is: if Costello is the fifth best QB that is a strong QB draft. Much stronger than this year. IMO Giants would be wise to wait
Yeah he's a mid-round guy at best.
I also think the OSU guys are a tad underrated in this list.
One other player missing from that list is the running back from BC. He may end up being the best of the lot.

That is a bit generous of you. "likely" is a strong word.

Better team, better QB = shorter learning curve
