Sal Paolantonio says -

Sal Paolantonio made it very clear on ESPN moments ago that if Murray, Haskins, Lock & Jones are gone by #17 Overall, the Giants will look to either trade #37 to get back into the end of the 1st Round to select QB Will Grier, or trade for Josh Rosen.
Rosen please

Do not want Grier
And the cluelessness continues  
BillT : 1:42 pm : link
What we do know is that none of these guys know a thing.

So any QB will do?

I'm not buying it.

If DG  
theking : 1:42 pm : link
Takes Grier over Rosen he should be fired. Plain and simple, Grier is not a franchise QB let alone, a starting caliber QB.

This is throwing shit at a wall at this point.

I don't believe this came from anywhere reputable for a single second.
I would be livid  
if the Giants draft Grier at 37 if the trade UP to get him I would be even more enraged. If that's the asset they are going to use on a QB then they would be much better off dealing it for Rosen. I would rather gamble on Rosen and his concerns than draft Grier who has a low ceiling and is 2 years older than Rosen.

Why not? Sal says so! (grin!)
Good

Draft our QB next year
Grier is not a first round pick.  
JoeyBigBlue : 1:43 pm : link
PERIOD.
Hell I would be angry  
if the Giants took Grier in round 3.
Fixed  
Trainmaster : 1:44 pm : link
If DG takes Grier OR Rosen he should be fired ...
This QB at all costs  
Sounds just like the broken record said all last year
So there's no conviction that any QB in this draft....  
MOOPS : 1:45 pm : link
is a Franchise QB and that pretty much any of them are capable of being a System QB.
Is that the right take?
I guess I'm one of a few who feels Grier is as good as all of the qb's  
Ira : 1:45 pm : link
in this draft except Murray.
Will Freaking Grier????  
nzyme : 1:48 pm : link
If left with no QBs by 17 then don't even pick one. Take a mulligan and hope to hell you can get one.

Grier will be a giant
What's the point of taking another mid-round QB  
when you barely even had a chance to look at Lauletta.
Sal?  
ZogZerg : 1:52 pm : link
I think the bigger chance Cards don't draft Murray then the Giants trading into the first for Grier.

Wow thought BBI would explode if they pick Jones I can't imagine if Grer is the pick. I would say at that point do your best DG to get Rosen.

Yea that makes absolutely zero sense. All the QB's are gone so we are taking Grier and trading away our picks!
This doesn't surprise me  
MM_in_NYC : 1:53 pm : link
It sounded like they had low first round grades on these top 4 guys the whole time. If true, it indicates Getts is not going to force the pick. While I'd prefer Rosen overall all, Grier is intriguing and has some unique arm talent. He would also benefit from a lot less pressure to step in quickly and would be better overall for managing the qb controversy that management apparently is so keen to avoid.
wow

Now desparation sets in to just fill the qb need..its great planning
Gotta hope this  
JG1836 : 2:00 pm : link
is an intentional leak to help get a better deal for Rosen.
Grier in Round 1 is a nightmare pick  
Torrag : 2:02 pm : link
...good news is Sal has no clue.
I don't want Will Grier  
Giantsfan79 : 2:03 pm : link
but if the Giants want to draft him, they should absolutely trade up into the back end of the first round to do it. If he's a 2nd rounder he gets a straight 4 year deal, as a 1st rounder, the Giants get a 5th year option.

If Grier is an option [again hoping not but for the sake of the argument] that 5th year option is more valuable then the likely day 3 picks it would cost to move from 37 to 30-32.
...  
BleedBlue : 2:03 pm : link
Its not Grier it's moving you for Grier that would bother me

If they want to take him at 37 fine. I don't love it but fine. Don't move up at all for him
Sal Pal throwing shit at the wall  
figgy2989 : 2:03 pm : link
I agree with Eric, its not like the Giants are just going to say hey, we will take any QB that falls in our laps.
first thought was god no  
bluepepper : 2:04 pm : link
second thought - we have a lot of picks this year. To spend our 3rd pick somewhat speculatively on a QB is not the worst.
Giants are NOT going to draft a QB just because  
nyjuggernaut2 : 2:18 pm : link
if they are convicted with one than fine, but they won't just take one because all the talking heads have been telling them to.

Giants have likely been on Grier for a while and DG wants more picks between 37 and 95.

This could be the best scenario if they want to give Eli every opportunity to play beyond this year (if all goes well).

Micko : 2:25 pm : link
Just get it done already!!!!!

It makes too much sense!
That's what I don't get is selecting a QB  
DonnieD89 : 2:41 pm : link
The media wants to shove low grade talented QBs down the Giants' throat. That is wasting your draft assets.
Nobody knows  
Who DG will draft except DG. Not JT, Not JonC. Nobody. He sure as shit isn’t spouting his mouth off all around the building spewing this garbage we are reading.

This all means absolutely nothing.
I could have posted what Sal

I miss the good ol days when we seemingly cultivated leaks, beats predicted picks with alarming accuracy, and teams leapfrogged ahead of us to leave us confused and bewildered.

37) Right Tackle

to take the last QB available in this draft as long as he threw a pass in college last year...
