Ron Rivera says meeting with Burrow and Tua is not just due diligence. They’re real meetings. Rivera likes Dwayne Haskins but says all options are on table.

Ron Rivera just told the media this is about not closing the door on anything. Called Dwayne Haskins a “good young player.” Is pleased when he does his rounds in the building, he sees Haskins. “You walk by the weight room, he’s there. You walk by the locker room, he’s there.”
If they can trade for Burrow  
90.Cal : 2/26/2020 2:03 pm : link
They should. Honestly. They can give Cincy Haskins and Chase Young for Burrow/#1... Cincy could sell the two OSU guys to their fans and it might not be a bad move for both sides...

Smoke. Could indicate they are trying to engineer a scenario where they can snake an extra pick and still get Young.

Judge and Gettleman have been refusing to give Jones a public vote of confidence, likely to try to generate some concern in other teams about their favorite QB prospect getting past #4.

It's a long shot, but a year after Rosen was shipped out of Arizona, teams actually have to consider it to be at least plausible.
If we were picking #2 we should be looking  
90.Cal : 2/26/2020 2:22 pm : link
Long and hard at Tua and Burrow despite believing that Jones is our guy. Tua and Burrow were/are way better prospects than Jones was at this time last year. It doesnt hurt to fully investigate them. Dont want to pass on Tom Brady because we are happy with Drew Bledsoe over here... not saying that's what Burrow/Jones are... I love Jones... he has it. But you have to do your homework on a potentially great prospect that will potentially be available when you pick... only Torrag thinks this is pure smoke... he must have forgot that only a year ago the Cards drafted a QB in round 1, back to back years... it wasn't a knock on Rosen nearly as much as it was a conviction in Kyler... same could be said/done with Haskins and one of Burrow or Tua...
Even if it's smoke...

you gotta do it - I'm freakin tired of everyone in the NFL knowing what players the Giants like every year.

You can't... unless you are willing to pass on Young in the first place... meaning... you only land Young if you trade back one spot with Detroit... Detroit only trades up if they want Tua and are scared Miami or another team is going to jump ahead of them and buy that #2 pick which would only happen if the Redskins were truly willing to trade with Miami or another team to begin with putting them outside of Chase Young's range... makes no sense... if Redskins want Chase they cant trade back period

You only get a limited number interviews at combine. they can certainly scout these guys and attend pro day. If these QBs are all that they won't be there at number 4.

From a Giants perspective. If you look at Daniel Jones rookie season and think drafting Burrow or Tua is a solid move, I have to ask... When does that cycle ever stop?

Daniel Jones had one of the best rookie seasons by a QB in a lot of aspects. Say Burrow comes in and does similar, but you're drafting in the top 5 again. Then what? Do you discard Burrow for Lawrence? Then Lawrence comes in and struggles. Discard Lawrence for the next shiny object?

When does it end? What does a QB have to do to satisfy you that you can proceed?

This wasn't a thing until Arizona did it with Rosen to Murray. It's not like Arizona is the franchise you want to emulate, so what's the fascination with this concept?

Jones showed more in one game (vs Tampa) than Rosen ever did in the pros.

And Judge hasn't talked about ANYONE. Don't be one of those click-bait beat writers.
Still looks like the  
Metnut : 2/26/2020 3:00 pm : link
top 3 will be QB, Young and QB. Maybe not in that order. Really wish we hadn't at least one of those WSH or MIA games.

Oh well. Let's hope that Herbert can impress and have his stock rise, or we just take one of Simmons or Ok.

DonnieD89 : 2/26/2020 3:03 pm : link
When would it stop? Daniel Jones had jack shit for a football team when he was playing at Duke. You got a Borrow, who had world class athletes playing with him at LSU that lead to the national championship. How are we supposed to differentiate how good Burrow would have been if he played for Duke. Solid pass on drafting Borrow or even Tua. Let’s build a team instead of remaining stagnant with a yearly quarterback carousel.

Going from Haskins to Tua or Herbert would actually be a defendable move. I think any team not owned by Dan Snyder with Washington's roster would consider it.
Wasn't that long ago ...  
Manny in CA : 2/26/2020 9:38 pm : link

That the Cards dumped Rosen in favor of Murray.

The Bengals are full of holes, say the Skins offer them their 2nd over-all, Haskins. and their 2021 1st rounder ....
Rosen got dumped because he stinks, if they had DJ no way they draft  
Zeke's Alibi : 2/26/2020 9:45 pm : link
Murray, and Kliff probably wouldn't be coaching there because he was hell bent on coaching Murray. You don't throw a promising rookie QB for a year for a complete unknown, unless he is an Andrew Luck level prospect. These guys aren't that.

Which do you think offers more leverage to the Giants overall - leaving open the possibility that they may be interested in pursuing either Tua or Burrow, or publicly declaring that they're happy with their QB and will definitely not be taking one in the draft?
Burrow, Tua ...  
Manny in CA : 2/26/2020 10:57 pm : link

Better college college stats than Luck's ...

Luck - 82 TDs, 22 INTs, Rate - 162.8

Burrow - 76 TDs,11 INTs, Rate - 172.4; in 2019, he was on fire - 60TDs, 6 INTs, Rate - 202.0

Tua - 87 TDs, 11 INTs, 199.4

No, I think what you do is realize that we reached for a QB that we liked because we needed one because we mismananged Eli, and Jones is not an NFL championship level arm. You have 2 of them in our sight. Maybe Judge is smart enough to talk to Saban and the LSU coach instead of what we heard about cog-in-wheel thinking in this league.

Winners have pedigree and a reason why they play for the best teams. No disrespect to Jones, but Duke? Seriously? No wonder we never fucking win anymore with the lazy thinking around here.

What?

Duke is irrelevant at this point. What did he do in the NFL last year?

How many high profile college QB's with the "pedigree", and that come from the best programs, bust once they get to the NFL?

I can't wrap my head around what you just posted. At all.

Aaron Rodgers went to University of California at Berkeley.
The more I think about this, the more this makes sense  
ZogZerg : 2/27/2020 6:46 am : link
for the redskins(unfortunately)
Let's assume both of these QBs turn out to be Franchise QBs - (top 10) and Haskins turns out to be an average to below average QB. The redskins will be kicking themselves for passing on them. Imagine if each had a Mahomes like impact and the skins passed on one of them.

The skins at least have to thoroughly investigate both of them.

Bramton1 : 2/27/2020 8:38 am : link
If a QB-hungry team thinks there is a chance the Redskins will draft one of those prized QBs, then it creates an urgency to convince them that what they really want to do is trade out of the 2nd spot.

If you get a team desperate enough and make theme nervous enough, you could get a king' ransom for the second spot.

is dumb enough to take a QB at 2 after taking one in the top 10 last year. I hope he takes Tua, he's not going to last 3 years with his injury history
If I'm Rivera and I love Tua (assuming Burrow is gone)  
Jim in Forest Hills : 2/27/2020 9:27 am : link
I take him and don't look back. Will Rivera get another HC job after this? I think its likely his final hurrah as a HC. You want to tie your wagons to someone you trust, if its Tua over Haskins, so be it.
