One player the Giants absolutely, positively will not take could hold the key to their 2020 NFL Draft strategy. That player will be in Indianapolis next week for the NFL Scouting Combine, will not be doing much of anything on the field and yet the Giants could benefit from every shred of positivity that player generates.
The more confident NFL decision-makers are that Tua Tagovailoa will be healthy for this coming season, the more enticing he becomes and the more likely a team out there is willing to trade a package of picks to the Giants to get him. |
I still don't see DG breaking his tradition and trade down though.

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

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

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.

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.
more likely its either the lions or giants benefit
