| 2021 NFL Mock Draft 5.0: Trevor Lawrence passed up at No. 1 by New York team Today, sports seem to reflect society's disconnect from "normalcy," as athletes struggle to endure an immensely volatile year. College football is barely recognizable with disjointed schedules, and missing players who've opted out of the 2020 season. The pros are assailed with devastating injuries (Dak Prescott's gruesome ankle break) and Covid-19 related cancellations. As a result, scouting reports will overlook and overvalue players, and most likely lead organizations into making unconventional decisions. So, now that I've led with one of my more extensive scouting disclaimers, let's get into this week's "unconventional" 2021 mock draft. 01 Giants: Penei Sewell, OL, Oregon |
(1) Who is making the pick?
(2) How do Jones and Lawrence perform the rest of the season?
(3) Do Jones or Lawrence, or both, suffer a season ending injury that will affects their ability to be ready to play next season, and possibly ever again?
(4) What are we offered in return for the pick?
As I've said, I think the discussion is likely moot because I don't think we'll end up with the #1 pick. The NFC East is historically bad. Prescott is out for the season. Allen is the starting QB for the WFT. Wentz has a long injury history, and hasn't played well. I think as a consequence we'll win anywhere from two to four games.
This. My 2021 golfing season would be in jeopardy too if this happened because I’d likely try to punch a hole through a brick wall.
As i posted on reddit, those meaningless feel good games would haunt this team....hope we don't do it again
If we end up with the #1 pick, no chance DG survives. Then again, he should have been fired last winter so... (shrug emoji).
This! DG wouldn't take a QB and he's too stupid to negotiate a decent trade. Think of the dumbest move a GM can make...DG will make it.
Haha exactly. Giants will luck themselves into a win or two and scree themselves out of the best player in the draft yet again, why? because we’re the Giants and I expect nothing less. Looking across the league I think it may come down to a race b/w us and the Jets for the #1 pick, and I’m sure the Jets will end up the benefactors if that for the extra punch to the gut.
more likely he will trade a 4th rounder for Dainel Jones or Sam Darnold and turn them into a HOF QB.
Yep that’s exactly what’s going to happen. And it will probably be against Washington again. But at least we beat a division rival! 🙄
I am not too sure about that, but if DG is still the GM,
does he give up on his Jones pick after two years?
As someone mentioned above, we have to see how this plays out, later in the year. I wonder if the Falcons will tank
for Trevor, he is from Georgia I heard. They just fired
the Mighty Quinn as well, so who knows?

We'll probably win a meaningless game in December that costs us, but people will be like 'We need to develop a winning culture', whatever the F that means with this 2020 roster. It'll be Chase Young redux.

At this point I think the Jets are almost locks for the #1 pick, and we'll finish with a better record than Atlanta and Washington Team Football (depending on Sunday's game). And by better record, I mean 3-13.
Losing last year was going to hopefully accomplish two things: 1) Draft position and 2) Clean house.
Those meaningless wins cost the Giants in the draft and perhaps getting rid of DG last year. At least they punted PS

Unfortunately, we are sitting on two likely outcomes by the end of this football season:
Like a cat with nine lives, Gettleman survives another year as Mara is sympathetic to the challenges of Covid.
Or...Gettleman "retires" and Abrams is handed the office keys to Gettleman's office. And Mara once again, in his mind, preserves the "Giants Way"...
While there is always a chance Abrams is actually good and competent, I suspect we will be back in this vicious circular error in three years.
Need a lot of upgraded players, folks.

Dont you ever get tired of posting the same thing? There are really two posters who literally post the same stuff over and over and over as if their opinions werent clear enough. Its not that the thoughts are negative, but the board has heard you, associated you with the thoughts, yet no matter the discussion, it always come back to your singular, similar message.
Post some new material dude. Seriously, you were and are impossibly boring. Team stinks, we get it. But constantly yearning for the next man up to fail is kinda silly on a Giants fan board no?
I left the Jets out because they might be willing to roll the dice with Darnold also
I still believe you can win with Jones.
And it won't get better (football wise) for quite some time.

+1
Counterpoint: "next man up" is a ridiculous way to run an organization that has been this bad for this long.
What would make anyone believe that Kevin Abrams would be an upgrade over Dave Gettleman, when he's been in the organization for more than two decades? He's been part of the problem, now we should expect him to be part of the solution?
You do understand that Judge and this staff are using this year to evaluate players for the future and developing those that they intend to keep for the following season. There is no such thing as a meaningless win. They have a bunch of extremely young players who will not tank. Young guys with unbroken spirit trying to win; maybe desperate to win. There is no way that Judge tanks games for a draft choice. Deal with reality.
If they go 0-16, Lawrence will be the pick. It will more than likely mean that Jones is not the QB of the future. If they win two or three they will pick top 5 and will likely have options for ER, CB, WR.
The Giants need to draft o-lineman high until they fix the line.
Too many holes to fill to not trade down .... getting a new QB will not translate to more wins and a better team in the near future ....
How else could you possibly evaluate DG and validate a reason for why he's still the GM.
To be honest - the same can be said if Thomas isn't the starting LT next year.
Too many holes to fill to not trade down .... getting a new QB will not translate to more wins and a better team in the near future ....
If that happens everyone will be wishing the took TL instead when Jones is still giving the opposition a free 6 points every game.
Well this coming year, the first overall pick will be Trevor Lawrence and some team will offer a crazy boatload of draft assets for him.
So, even DG would indeed trade down in that scenario, so long as Judge tells him DJ IS the Giants' future QB and he loves him.
If Judges wants Lawrence at 1 and wants to move on from Jones, that will in all liklihood happen as well. It would at the very least open the doors to a very serious conversation at Giants' Central, and that conversation, as much as anything else, could lead to DG stepping away... But I digress.
I find it interesting how often DG haters build Straw Men to hang Dave Gettleman in effigy.
There arent enough facts on the table to hang DG?
The best predictor of what will happen in the future is to study the past.
What you have said applies right now to the Bengals. Andy Dalton was not the reason they were bad last season. They jettisoned Dalton for Burrow, but by your logic they should be picking #1 again in 2021.
They will not be picking #1 in 2021. You do know you get a draft pick in each of six rounds? #1 is not the only pick you get.
I doubt the Jets even win one game. Not sure about the Falcons, but they may have a much better second half like they did last year.
