East West Shrine standouts

Hilary : 2/4/2023 7:37 am
Some nfl analysts recommend drafting a QB every year.
Aiden O'Connell can pass with great accuracy and touch.
If the giants could get him in the third round and unload Tyrod Taylor salary that might work out very well.
East West Shrine - ( New Window )
So you want to spend a 3rd to replace Taylor

But in doing so you don’t get a CB or WR or DL or LB which are far bigger needs. Not sure I think that’s wise roster building.
QB

Not saying the team should make that selection but a competent
QB on a rookie contract is always a plus because of the importance of the position and use of cap space. If the giants
have Jones at 32-35 million and Taylor at 6 million that is almost 25 % cap at one position.
Don't need Taylor

at 6 mill not like he is going to win us a superbowl. Get someone at 1 mill that has exp to fill in for a couple games if needed. Heck draft a qb in the 7th round if needed.

D'Squarius Green Jr- University of Notre Dame
I think they’ll draft one later in the draft

as a developmental type and third string. Webb is likely retiring to be a coach and Taylor is in his last year of a two year deal and so I could definitely see them looking to draft a guy, but not very high up in the draft.

Short memory. For $1 million you get garbage as a backup. In today's game with the 17 games you need a competent back up in case your starter misses a couple of games, Don't you remember the garbage we had on our roster in 2021. Once Jones went down the QBs were brutal and the team was not watchable.
Schoen’s investment in Taylor says something

He wants a good experienced backup QB. He wants a fighting chance to win if Jones has to miss a game. And don’t mind drafting a QB but not with premium picks. Not this year.
O'Connell

and the TE Durham who's at the Senior Bowl, absolutely killed my Syracuse team all day. One blunder by each cost them the game. O'Connell tried a risky short pass to avoid a sack and gave up a pick six to a defensive lineman. After Durham's last touchdown, he taunts the Syracuse defenders and gets an unsportsmanlike penalty. Sets the stage for SU's game winning TD with 7 seconds left. A lot of really good football by both of them, but two really bad plays.

Niners would probably have loved to have him after Purdy went down. Experienced quality back-ups are needed.
