If he is unable to trade back in the draft.
There needs to be a team willing to trade up to 4 in order for him to trade back.
Unfortunately with the coronavirus halting travel and personal work outs, I think players like Tua, Herbert and Jordan Love may not have an opportunity to impress enough people in the draft. Their draft status may be locked in place.
If Miami is able to trade with Washington or Detroit and able to draft Tua, is a team willing to move up in the draft to take Herbert or Love based on thier tape and with out ever meeting them? Or even attending their Pro-day?
The draft is going to be interesting. A lot of teams will go into the process with a lot less information than they are use to having.
he may get roasted if the 5th pick gets traded for a combination people would have been happy with at 4.
i personally dislike the expression that you can't be disappointed about not trading down because you need a trade partner. it strikes me as a truism. one gm said it one day and then everyone started repeating it like it was the perfect comeback anytime anyone mentioned they'd look to trade down. there's always a market of teams looking to trade and teams looking to trade down. a gm's job is to navigate that market. it's not a matter of it being easy or not.
1.) Detroit is in the catbird seat. Teams looking to draft Tua will be looking to the Lions not the Giants for a trade. Should the Lions make the pick and not select Tua then that is advantageous to the Giants.
2.) if the Giants goal is to pick one of the top 4 OTs available they probably cannot move lower than the 9 or 10 slot without putting that objective at risk.
The Panthers, Jets, Cardinals , and Browns all have very glaring OT needs.

I can see your point but all I ever see from fans is the concern about that year's draft. A GM has to see across multiple drafts. Just because fans may be happy with what a following team was able to get doesn't mean what that team got was the value needed for the original's team's spot.
Dave Gettleman can't settle for less or he will always be expected to settle for less in future years.
This will be a test of who has the best scouting department for Day 2 and Day 3.
The QB market should remain hot
He was before the season started, but he had a decent 2019. Not great.
Tua was always the top QB in this draft, until his injury. In fact, if he did not get hurt and Burrows still had the year that he had, we would be talking about Tua going #1 and which team will trade up to 2 for Burrows.
Snyder is the gift that keeps on giving, God bless this man to a long and healthy life of ownership of the Redskins.
like making a solid pick with our first choice like he did the last two seasons?
I have no clue who the giants should draft or whether there will be a reasonable offer for the giants to trade down (and how they have players rated). My hope is they get the right player and continue to add pieces to build this team (whoever that player is).
I am not going to get hyped up by the media or even by some on this board who continue to pound the table that gettleman needs to draft player x or needs to trade down.

Didn't Carolina sign Bridgewater to a 3 year 63 mil. contract,
There is no pick that will make all of those groups happy. Some will rejoice and some will go ballistic. To expect anything else is silly.

I was one of them, but to be fair Gettleman has DRAFTED pretty decently, its FA or trades (minus Odell) that have been bad.

Moreso by opening his mouth
It seems like the late panic to get a QB in the draft sometimes is based on a great pro-day.
With social distancing, do you think there might be less push to get one of the QB's not named Burrow and Tua?
If that rush does come, than DG should acknowlege and consider every call and trade offer.
If 2020 is a disaster, he's gone.
2. Burrow, Young Okudah. Miami gives us something to prevent LAC from jumping them or LAC gives us even more to do so for a QB. Either way we get the additional pick(s) and stay in position to take Simmons, OT or much less likely Brown but ya never know.
I just can’t imagine a scenario where trading down to 5 or 6 where we don’t get one of Simmons, Okudah, Brown or OT #1. (Assumes if the trade is to Chargers they take the 3rd QB) so 3 QBs, Young and Okudah are off the board at 6, or 2 QBs Young and Okudah if we pick at 5.
Either way we get the same player at 5 or 6 we would’ve taken at 4 but add another pick or few. Like most here I’d like to see us have at least 3 top 40 picks to come away with a OT, C and difference maker on defense.
BLue Chip possible All-Pro
Red Chip possible above average 10 year starter

All the time for 3 red. With this current roster/team you do it for 2 red. With an average or good roster you stay with the blue.
