Tua Tagovailoa’s health could set off Giants’ draft boldness

Assuming Young and Okuda were off the board... and even if one of them was still there, I think the trade down is still the way to go

From a QB trade up?

Both the Giants and Lions benefit.

^This.

yikes...a local opinion piece.

Its really not that complicated, at 4 you get either Burrows, Young, Okudah or a trade up from a team wanting a QB. Its also possible that a second team may want to trade up for a QB so we may even get to choose between a player (more likely Okudah) and a trade up from a team wanting the 3rd QB.

This draft may very well go:

1. Burrows
2. Young
3. Tua (Miami from Det)
4. Next Best QB (LAC from NY)
5. Brown or Okudah (Det from Miami)
6. NYG from LAC (Okudah, Brown, OL, Another trade back or whoknowswhat)

Personally, I'd prefer Okudah or Young at 4, but if we're going OL I hope it's after a trade back. Even at 6 it would seem early but I guess you'd have your pick of the litter if you felt one was far and away better than the rest.

have a hard time getting fair value for the #3 because teams won’t want to trade lower than they have to and they know the Giants aren’t taking a QB

That's faulty thinking, because if a team decides they only have to trade up to the 4 slot, another team could trade with the Lions at 3 and take the QB they want.

If a team is sold on Tua or Herbert, they will probably try to trade up to 3, not 4.

How many have watched him play? He is great off the ball but is not a two way end and isn't Bosa. I watched him four times and he was quick and fast off the ball, but he is not the end all.

I still think the best player for the Giant's needs is Simmons and then Wills or Becton on the offensive line

.. is if some team other than Miami moves up to #3 to get a QB, and then multiple teams are hot for whichever of Tua/Herbert didn't go #3, knowing Miami is sitting at #5. Then teams will definitely bid for that #4 pick.

Sorry, one other way. Detroit drafts Okudah. Then the Giants' pick becomes the prime QB pick.

Posts like this make me wish that BBI had a thumbs-up button.

I would not be surprised if he gets a clean slate of health.

Because some guy who isnt a scout watched a whole 4 Ohio state games from the same tv broadcast you watch and says he's not that good?

Tall to me about how well you can break down line play from tv.

No doubt he is the most talented QB in the draft but I am really concerned about his injury history at Bama.
