Unless a player like Chase Young is the second coming...

Was touched by the hand of Zeus.

But you dont pass up Young. This site has become irrational.

The same hysterics as when the great Tim Lewis was coaching are on display. Tuck Osi and Strahan all sucked right? Nothing changes until this staff is shit canned. LT at his peak couldn’t save Betcher

Are there 1 or 2 big time free agents that can be difference makers at positions of need on defense?

two tackles, center, safety, (1)edge providing we resign Golden, and a MLB, and a #1 and #2 WR and that's assuming Shepherd comes back. Other than that we're good. Oh and coaching changes would probably help. Probably some exageration here but I'm not far off especially with the way our players get hurt around here.

unless it is an overwhelming offer. Lawrence Taylor makes this team a playoff team.

Markus Golden? While Gettleman squanders high draft picks for someone like Williams w/the hope of signing him,Golden is providing the only pass rush we have. He needs to be THE priority to sign in the off-season!

because Tampa Bay's kicker sucked.

It's ironic how we were all so excited after that win and the win the next week.

L Williams was our best pass rusher yesterday.

Golden's been a great signing and for the right price I'd retain him, but Williams destroyed their OL all night.

Chase Young is only the 3rd human who can lift Mojnir!
Hammer of the Gods!

but have the feeling one of these teams is going to offer the farm for a top QB

Considering we don't have our own 3rd rounder, it'd be nice to get something like:

2020 1st
2020 2nd
2020 4th
2021 1st

of trading for QBs...the absolute floor for the trade would be 2 second rounders

If you look at the Eagles trade up for Wentz, aside from the 1st round swap that year, the Browns got a 3rd and 5th that year, a 1st in 2017, and a 2nd in 2018. That should be the type of deal that happens if a team jumps up 10 slots or so.

I just do not know which players suck and which players are worth keeping. Would anyone think that Zeitler was truly one of the best guards in football before this year?

I do not like trading down especially if a true difference maker was available. If they are at #3 or #4 and could trade to #6 while getting an additional #1 and or 2 #2s, it might be worth it. But who has those picks to trade while needing a QB?

At the least they need:
LT/RT
C
ER
ILB
FS

The Giants are if not one of the youngest teams in Football so they don't need a ton of more young players. The answer is what do we do with all the money we have in the off season. We stay at the spot we are and take a OT or a stud defender. Than another Oline in the second. The Giants can also trade a veteran away in the off season. So to say we have to trade back is not nonsense.

Can't get anywhere I think OL is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of this team that needs an upgrade. Not only does effect Saquon but it's going to get Daniel Jones killed.

Next is ILBs. Two of them if possible. We have no idea what Ryan Connelly is going to do. Players with ACLs usually take two years to fully come back.

If we can get another edge player sure but we have two players that NEED to pan out. Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines.

We don't know about safety because Julian Love needs to FREAKING PLAY!!!!

+1. It’s hard to discern who is worth keeping and who isn’t.

'Best' case would be losing to the Dolphins and jumping them in draft order since they have multiple extra picks this year.

Stick to your board and make moves accordingly. This roster isn't even five pieces away from being respectable.

(Hopefully DG isn’t the GM) Trade down or pick a potential game wrecker at Edge. Don’t forget possibly a franchise Left Tackle too.

This team is so far away from a personnel perspective with regards to competing for a playoff berth. They need so many more players it’s depressing to list: OT(2), OC, TE, WR1, WR2, EDGE, multiple LB’s, FS, Long Snapper, a threat at PR, maybe a better Punter, and better depth. Mara may as well hang a “HELP WANTED” sign on the front door.

Is worthy of a top 5 if not top 3 pick and fills a huge need and so does Chase Young. No need to trade down if you can get a stud at a position of need.

it's mostly coaching. Give me Chase Young and a decent coaching staff and this team could easily be 5-4, 6-3 even with the crap on the O-line. Sign one good FA OL and draft one this off season, but MUST get a decent coaching staff.

This is a name we need to see more of on this board. If we pick 3rd, we probably miss out on Young, Thomas would help this team every bit as much.

would absolutely trade down, even if Young is available.

Young could bust, or get hurt. We're also not one player away from being competitive. We have a million holes, and no third round pick of our own because of the Williams trade. The projected comp pick for Landon Collins won't be until the end of the third round.

But it's a moot discussion. The Giants are institutionally opposed to trading down, in any round. Gettleman has never done so, and neither did Reese. The last time we traded down was when Accorsi did so for Kiwi.

is the team's ability to evaluate and grade out offensive linemen has become trash even as those in the scouting field tell us about 'value'.

and can get Young AND trade down. Giants go 2-14, get #1 pick. Miami (at #3) trades up and also offers Pit 1st round pick and MIAs 3rd round pick to move up two slots. Who knows, maybe we could even get more.

Just lose baby!

Small number of players in the right hand of that curve, you get them. Trade down only if you don’t see that type of ability at your spot.

Gettleman needs to bring in an offensive line expert who’s only job is to conduct quality control on pro and NCAA Linemen scouting. There’s clearly an organizational problem here and it is vital to solve it. They need to spend the money and get the expertise to fix this.

Before this stuff starts. Yes both guys would make a difference.

I've been saying this for years. We need to do a much better job of scouting Oline. It's been years since we've had a decent lineman drafted. Snee was probably the last one IMO.

#1. The best the Giants get is #2 or #3. Cincy is one of the teams that needs a QB.
I think there are 5 1st rd QBs available...

When we took Barkley, We def need more picks

Until most find out he is a Dematha product and you come to your senses. 2 years out of HS. talent or not dampen your enthusiasm.

I would take Young or Thomas over 3 second round players. I haven’t seen an edge and OT prospect look this good since Von Miller and Jake Long. I’m just hoping one of them falls, if they don’t, I’m all aboard the trade down train.

If you have the chance you take him, but Thomas wouldn't be a bad consolation prize.

Roster has big holes on the OL, WR, and throughout the back seven on defense. I'm talking about building a winner, not just an average football team. No more Solders and Ogltrees, bite the suck bullet and ride it out.

but these threads always incorrectly assume that someone is sitting there willing to give us equal value. That is not always the case.

Really? Williams 1T 2A; Golden2T 2A 1 Sack 2 TFL

someone will want to trade up for whoever is available between Tua/Burrow. Will that same someone be willing to give up 2 first rounders + is the real question and also is Chase Young or Andrew Thomas, future gold jacket guys? Because if DG thinks so he isn't trading with anyone amd we can't afford to pass on either 1 if they are...

O and,OL:

This Packers lite wco system just kills OL effectiveness .
That's over two coaches and two GMs.

Implement an entirely different approach on O and use top free agents at center and right tackle.

Not saying that gets you a winning season but it's still a two year project due to grabbing the w
Qb last year.

On D:

In addition to the list in this thread i'd say we really need 2 free safeties;

the speed burner ball hawk, and the great slot/s/FS (plus 2 top ilbs, one thats safety like but bigger, one great olb type, the other edge, keep golden and draft a true fatty 2 gap nose tackle to free up Dex and Williams inside ).

That's the whole draft.

Maybe the zone blocking heavy bully TE to get the new system going.

Oh, and an instant burst to the edge RB. For the same reason as the TE.

I disagree. This defense needs a threat. A player that wins and demands extra planning and attention. If you believe a player of that caliber is on the board you don't hesitate. You make the pick. Period.

I don’t watch college football, so what I want to know is this.....is he the next LT or is he much like a Bosa?

the NFL didn't have this thing where you can sign players that weren't in contract to help your team. Guess it is draft or bust!
