Trade back in this year's draft, get draft capital for next year, and draft Herbert/Tua in 2020. You can thank me later. My advice is free this time, but next time you have to pay.

Giants trading back in a draft, lol. What happens first, the Giants trade back or the Giants replace Eli.

If Bosa, Allen, and Williams are drafted and Murray or Haskins are available at #6, it makes complete sense to try and do a trade back. There haven't been many opportunities to do this in past drafts but in that scenario it makes complete sense. You can get good prospects at #11, #13, etc. Teams that want Haskins would have to give up quite a bit to move to #3. The Redskins certainly don't have the ammo to do that. The Jets moved from #6 to #3 for Darnold last year and that cost them THREE 2nd round picks.

That scenario is unlikely, but if it happens, I still don't believe the Giants would trade back. Yes, it does make a lot of sense, especially if they don't like Murray. You could argue that the Giants should've traded back from two last year, they still would have gotten Chubb or Nelson and additional draft capital, but Gettleman didn't even pick up the phone.
1. Ideally, trade #17 for a later 1st and 2020 draft capital. If no trade, use 6 and 17 on top d prospects available (Oliver/Sweat, Bush/Dexter Lawrence).
2. At 37 WRs Butler, Harry, Campbell, AJ Brown are intriguing. I love AJ Brown/Hakeem Butler. Give Eli (and the next QB) a young huge target to pair with Shepard and yac-machine Golden Tate (he can be cut in 2 years, still like his signing).
3. Use some of those late picks in a trade up, Maxx Crosby being my target.
4th - 6th. CBs and a developmental OT to compete with Wheeler behind Remmers (yes, I signed Remmers).
Objectively analyze Eli’s performance. If they target D, sign Remmers, I think they could compete for a wildcard as a run first power team that plays good enough defense (I like Jenkins, Bethea, Peppers, Haley in the secondary with Beal’s potential ... Carter Ogletree Sweat Hill Lawrence
Tomlinson would be a lovely front 7).
Short version: Build up this defense with the strength of the class and revisit in 2020 after you’ve added 2 top defensive prospects and a big body WR to start. Use some of the late rounders to maneuver up in rounds 3-5 for specific targets (Maxx Crosby is “my guy” for example)
If the Giants came away with Sweat, Lawrence, and AJ Brown I would be thrilled. I’m assuming Q Williams/Bosa/Allen go before 6, but who knows.
Leading to another year of anxiety, frustration, and "anti/pro" Eli fandom.

No Fromm in 2020?

I don't think Jones makes it that far
But it s a fun activity, my guess, Jones or Rosen

2. Eli is not good....find a back up type (Case Keenum type) sign him to a 2-3 year deal and continue the QB search.
We have plenty of Cap room, so dumping Eli and bringing in a prototypical back up type is doable.
Not sure why we have to force the QB pick, it's mostly fan hysteria.
Eli.
Lock.
Jones.
Haskins.
Grier.
Finley.
Rosen.
Lauletta.
Unknown.
Forced to pick, I'll say Eli.

If Eli still has it, he gets a new 1-2 year deal (they have the cap) while I pay whatever it takes to move up for Fromm (or Tua, Herbert)
Sorry, short version is Eli + 2020 draft pick.
