Over the past few weeks, there have been murmurs of multiple defensive & offensive players to the Giants. Everyone from Daniel Jones, to Drew Lock, to Q Williams to Rosen. Hell, there was even a "rumor" of Giants interest in Murray.
The glaring ommission in all this is absolutely no "chatter" anymore of Haskins to the Giants. The only rumors all pointing to a lack of interest by us.
Add into the mix, despite no rumors a two-day visit last week, and a late week media storm by the QB on ESPN, something just feels like we are going all in for him.
I'm not predicting a trade up for the young man, although it wouldn't surprise me. But I definitely think we still have him front and center on our QB board.
Very excited for this week. Would love to see a draft that lands either Rosen or Haskins, with some nice pass rush talent as well. I'd also like to see us flex our assets by consolidating 12 picks down to 6-7 real good ones.
I think if you like a guy big at #17, you have to get him at #6. But only if you really believe he is "the guy"
Riddick was on ESPN and thinks he's a star as well.
Could be a sign of what he's expecting.

Yes, unless he's watching the draft with his family in NJ!

Not attending, he decided to spend it with his family well before these draft rumors
Too many things lining up in my mind for a team that "doesn't have big interest in him at #6."
This isn’t the type of thing you chat about with the whole scouting department IMO.

Sometime a thing is just a thing. We overthink everything.
If it was intentional quiet as misdirection, then it's organizational silence. That would be incompatible with it being only one or two people being in on the plan.
look on the bright side, it could be mid February right now. I'll take the 80 hours
I don’t know, but there is smoke.

Except, we’re no closer to knowing anything than we were back then..:)
Then we shouldn't draft any of them. The QB I want is the one the franchise would mortgage, lets say a one and three this year, and a one and five next year. Settling for a guy is not something I am okay with or think the Giants should even consider. It should be a QB at six or pass until next year.

For most of us, it's been our whole lives, but it doesn't stop us from talking.

On that we finally agree.
At #17, I think the Giants would take Jones, but he'll likely be gone by then. They might trade up slightly to get him.
I don't see them trading up for Haskins, but the interesting question is whether they would take him at #17 instead of trading down. That would of course depend on what they were offered, but Gettleman clearly wants another pick between #37 and #95. They could also take Grier at #37.
The idea that a player can "slide" a week before the draft with no new information is crazy. I can understand when it's something like the Tunsil video that leaked out on draft day. But Haskins' supposed slide isn't a slide. It's reporters getting information (either legit info or smokescreen) that Haskins isn't at the top of some boards.
Rather than contradict their previous reports and risk their own credibility, the reporters try to make it seem like a prospect is sliding. But the reality is, he's only sliding from where they previously had him, which is based on even less information than they have now.

+2.
He might as well be participating in offseason program.
last year was a unique draft, with the slam dunk presence of Saquon.
Jt and jonc- I know it must be frustrating to keep making the same comments, but please don’t stop commenting! I seek out threads you write and very much appreciate you.
I don't think the OP is just referring to the Giants and Haskins but the declining lack of chatter in general. I find it odd too.
I like the prospect so I'm biased.
that's fair.
I'm not sitting here pining over Haskins. As if we absolutely should go in that direction. I was simply noting when you add up all the murmurs out there, and tie them to specific players, both offense and defense, there is this very obvious gaping hole of nothing around Haskins lately. Which to me is odd since he just spent two days in house last week. Had lunch with Eli.
My sense, not my preference, is that something doesn't add up. That's all I'm saying. I'd be very happy going defense, defense with the first two picks.

It’s called due diligence. People would be crying if they didn’t dissect all these QBs ... go back and look at how much predraft work they did on Rosen

Who knows, we might just end up with Barkley and Rosen
When that RB is potentially the next Marshall Faulk, and the QB is the next Matt Ryan ... sigh me up for the RB
Barkley was too good to pass up. Allen’s accuracy is an issue, Darnold is a turnover machine (in college), and Rosen fell to 10 and is on the trading block for myriad reasons.
The near flawless (on and off the field) RB who brings a skillset/athleticism rarely seen for any RB - let alone 1 that’s 230 pounds - was well worth the selection

I hope so ... 37 and conditional 2020 pick (playing time/stat based) is a no brainer.
