In this scenario Trey Lance falls to #11 and the Indianapolis Colts come calling. Frank Reich already worked with one QB from ND State and tries to catch lighting in a bottle with Lance.

There is going to be an impact player available at 11 this year
4 quarterbacks, one zany pick no one saw coming, Sewell, Chase and Pitt will likely go early
two from the following won't be available, that leaves some briliant prospects. I trust our staff I think we'll find someone very worthwhile the following less two...Surtain, Farley, Parsons, Slade, Rousseau, Zevin Collins, Kwity Paye, Devonte Smith, Waddle and probably several more.
In my view, trading down never makes sense unless you're sitting top five or so and there's someone who is desperate for a quarterback that you don't need. Then you can trade down but still have a pick in the critical (and bountiful) top sixteenn as well as an early two and more. otherwise quantity does not trump quality.
I'd look for more than that. From 11 to 21 is a deep drop
Well thought out, interesting mock draft with trades.
Just a small note... not an exact science, but based on conventional Draft Value Boards, the Giants are surrendering 1,460 points and getting back in return 1,344. The deficit of 116 points is worth an additional pick at the end of Round Three (#96)
See attached GBN Value Board.

Sounds good but until they actually DO IT, which they won't.....
I don't see the Giants dropping 10 spots and not getting a lot more, and that's not considering another drop in the third. Future picks would have to be included.
As previously mentioned, making significant jps in the first round requires a premium to be paid.
What would it take for Indy to move up the 10 spots in the first? Something like this:
In addition to their first,
This year's 2nd and 3rd, next year's 2nd.
Or
Next year's first, this year's 2nd, with Giants giving back this year's 5th.
You might say this is unrealistic, but I promise it's closer to reality and I still may be underestimating the comp back to the Giants a tad.
I'd look for more than that. From 11 to 21 is a deep drop
This was my thought. This trade I think we lose.
I'd look for more than that. From 11 to 21 is a deep drop
Bingo! That's a lousy trade
The mock itself is usually pure bullshit. Then they add in an unreasonable trade and use that as a jumping off point for the rest of the ridiculousness.
