Ralph V does claim “several NFL and team sources” in citing this. That is significant to me. Multiple sources and from in and out of Giants.
The gist:
According to the article the Giants are interested in Rosen but at the right price. They will not move a 1st. They may part with a 2nd. That 2nd could be an additional 2nd IF they trade down in rd 1 or it could be their own IF the Cards add something. Or it could be a future 2nd.
Ralph’s summary:
“The bottom line is this: The Giants will be interested, but only if the price is right. And it seems unlikely they'd be willing to out-bid the Redskins if they're really interested. If they're not, maybe the Giants could package their third-round pick with a future second-rounder or something like that to get a deal done.
But that will depend on the Cardinals, who still have to put Rosen on the trading block first.”
Ralph V also insinuates Giants could trade up in round 1 as well.

Giants didn't view Rosen as a Franchise QB or they would have drafted him at 2 last year.
Gettleman has talked about QB hell and he will not acquire a QB who he doesn't view as a Franchise QB
The End
.... or maybe they just had Barkley graded higher.
Fuck, is it that hard to grasp that Barkley was rated higher and it says nothing about how they felt about Rosen, Darnold or anybody else in any position?
You're not taking a RB over a QB you think can be a franchise one..No matter how good that RB is
Barkley was viewed as a generational player, not just a RB. So yes even if they thought Rosen was a franchise QB, they still would have took Barkley. Frankly so far that looks like the best decision. Barkley looks better than all the QB's so far, even the great Darnold. Only Mayfield is close.
