If the giants feel he’s the top QB on the board, that is one thing. If they really feel he is a franchise QB for the next 10-15 years, they have to take him at six. I don’t care what defender is on the board at that point. You don’t get cute. You take your guy. There is only one defender that was good enough to carry a team to a Super Bowl and there is no LT in this draft.
I just VERY strongly feel if we don’t take a QB at six we should not take one at all this year. My point is if they feel that strongly about him or another QB, they would and should not pass on the player. By passing strongly points to some reservations about the player and thus you punt to 2020. Period.
Absolutely. If you have a conviction that he is a franchise QB you take him at 6. You don't hope to take him later or grab the next best thing. There are many DE. LB's etc in this draft but the most important player is your "franchise" QB.

If they don't want a QB and there are offers they should move down. Agree 100%.
I believe JonC and jtgiants both have said Giants have strong interest in Lock or something to that affect. In other words him he being their top rated QB. So yes some asshats have mentioned this.

The majority of them were from 20-30 years ago when the scouting and technology wasn't as good.
Cant see that happening....giving up next years first to move to our spot.
I am okay with Lock. I am not sold on his attitude, but he has a rocket arm and 3 years in the SEC is nothing to sneeze at.

Problem with that list is the time frame.
With the internet and amount of scouting available.
It doesn't happen very often anymore.
Wilson and Brees dropped because of size not skill level.
6% of QB's drafted over the last 20 years have become franchise type QB's
And
If you plan to trade up for lock from 17.....it might have less competition if QBs were selwcted beforehand
That Cutler comparison I dont really get. Cutler was an ass to be sure, but was still a pretty solid QB for many years. The smoking thing and lack of heart were surprises.
Lock's production dwarfs JC's in the SEC and he did it for 3 years.
There's nothing to suggest that Lock has off field issues. Was there anything that linked Favre with Percs? Lock is kinda anti-Eli and kinda why I havent taken a shine to him. But he has a rocket arm, can move amd I would be just fine with him with a year to learn.

THIS! If Williams, Bosa, Allen, Oliver are all gone, take the QB at 6.
Quote:
seems very Cutleresque to me, in terms of personality.
It's the twang, go watch is post pro day interviews with the NFLN, he's a hard charger, Cutler is like Eeyore. Also, Lock can scoot, he has really good speed for a QB. And while I was told a QB is not in play at 6, I would agree that if you like him enough you nab him. If it was me, I'd take him and not look back UNLESS Allen, Q or Bosa fell and they won't.
Yea Cutler kinda came out of nowhere leading to that draft because of his numbers. Lock seems like a solid teammate.
I cant tell with this class. Its weird. Lock has the FULL resume. Haskins has one exceptional year...but sweat a lot during the pro day and Jones seemed to be behind the 8 ball given the talent around him.
I would prob be okay with Haskins or Lock at 6 but not Jones....who Id prob be okay with at 17 but ideally 37 because he might be a sleeper great one.
I'm good with Barkely at #2 overall last year for the same reason I want them to pick the best player available at #6 this year.
1) We have way too many holes to fill on this roster; and
2) All these 2019 QBs are indistinguishable.
That said, Darnold is better of any of the QBs this year.
Picking any QB at #6 will set this franchise back.
I'd obviously prefer not having to, but I'd even be ok with trading up to secure him (feel like the Raiders might take him at 4).
I absolutely think he's a franchise type QB and would be incredibly excited if the Giants take him.

Not everybody agrees with you and nothing in your argument tells me you have a clue about last year vs this one.
Mayfield looks good.
Darnold looked solid
Allen looked like a wild card.
Rosen's team is looking to move on from him apparently.
Jackson looks like.... he is a threat to run the ball. Unless you are Go Terps who sees him as a monster.
Give me a break, I would roll the dice with Haskins or Lock in the 1st or Jones in the 2nd against any fool but Mayfield from last year. Mayfield might be the real deal.

If you think this year's group of QBs are better than Darnold then you don't watch a lot of football.
So @ 6 he might be the pick, we'll just have to wait and see.

1. It only shows the QBs drafted after the 1st but doesn't show it's comparison of the QBs that were drafted in the 1st round. This is a common tactic used to prove one's point by neglecting the counter-argument.
2. It compares all of the players drafted after the 1st round as being an equal number to those being drafted in the 1st round. So today that equates to roughly, 32 draft positions vs 192 (32 teams X 6 remaining rounds) draft positions. That being said, the 1st round QBs still win out and it's not even close.
There are plenty of sites that have already done this so I'll just post the NFL link as I think it makes this very clear. It's a little out-dated but it's still very clear. The success rate at hitting on a QB in the draft is FAR greater in the 1st round and it's not close. This is especially true for a Super Bowl winning QB.

I won’t be surprised to see the Giants take a QB at #6, but I would be very surprised by one at #17. That would feel like them taking a guy they liked, not loved, just because he was still around and was good value.
I will try to get some data on that before the draft.
But my point with this list isn't to say, don't draft Philip Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger if they are available. It's to say that there's a lot of talent after 1-10 for GMs who can recognize talent, and the ones who can't always miss anyway.
Giants are reported to have had private meetings with each. Some pundits have each player rated around where the Giants have their second 1st and their 2nd round picks.
IMO, Jones has the better mechanics, Lock more fire and better mobility. I think Lock has more upside, Jones will be a manager if he can handle pressure better.

Jim, just stop already. It's embarrassing to see you still struggling with basic math.
Go count how many QBs are taken in the 2nd round or later. This isn't complicated, despite you literally posting nothing other than this particular point (flawed as it is) for the past two years.
If you think this year's group of QBs are better than Darnold then you don't watch a lot of football.
So I guess we are just supposed to ignore the fact that he is a turnover machine?
Funny how Darnold lovers never go near the subject of turnovers.
