Piggy backing on another posters analysis that top CB and WR prospects could be gone by 25 and that if Bijan is there he would be the BPA. Having SB and Bijan on field at same time is intriguing, mybe they could complement each other. At least you know your getting a top play maker who can really catch it for Jones. Glad I'm not a GM .
2 or 25 this team is not in a position to take a RB with all of the needs they have and all of the talent that will be available at 25.
Next question.

But not likely...

Or you could, like, talk about the roster implications and front office philosophy cuz, like, it's a discussion board.
This is ridiculous. I have no interest in Robinson but the 2nd overall pick is in a different stratosphere than the 25th overall. Not even close to being “as stupid”. Why do people always act like all 1st round picks are equal?
1) Depending on Barkely is a crapshoot. Based on his recent injury history, it's unlikely you can project a full 17 game season out of SB. And the mileage on Barkely is starting to add up as well. Drafting Robinson would be insurance for the games that Saquon will likely miss.
2) Drafting Bijan would allow one of two things...either letting Saquon go next year, and having his replacement on hand, or letting him go this year (recinding the tag on SB), which would free up $10 million the Giants could use in a WR1 trade. Ideally, this could be done during the draft as a trade.
3) You're preventing Robinson from going to Dallas, where he would be a massive issue when we play them.
Yes, we have many needs, but I'll go back to 1981, when the Giants drafted a Linebacker #2, when the strength of the team was at Linebacker. I'm NOT saying BR is another LT, but good teams often draft to improve their areas of strength (for example, when the Eagles jumped ahead of us to draft DeVonta Smith. That move not only improved them, but hurt the Giants).
Well, there is a chance we would take Robinson and then trade Barkley for a pick close behind us. But I think Robinson is gone before 20, more likely 15.
Would be GREAT if we got Robinson, and traded Barkley for a pick that becomes a top 5 receiver from this draft.
Did we learn nothing from the recent FA period where the value of RBs tanked.
Please allow me to make this clear. THe value is not there for a RB in the 1st round.
RB is a cheap position. With your first round pick you want to select an expensive position so you can have a very good player on a cost controlled contract for 5 years. That is how you make maximum use of your cap space.
Please, learn about positional value. It is *VERY* important.

Further more this isn't the 1970s anymore. Successful teams are not built around the running game. They are built around the passing game. RB is the least impactful position to a team with a good aerial attack.
There is none, I think they should pull the tag!
Thing is, wouldn't it make sense for the team on the other side of that transaction to just trade for the Giants' pick and draft Robinson? Might work out nicely for the Giants too: an opportunity to add a valuable pick without moving down much, and keep Robinson from landing in Dallas or Philly.

Yep, we should have taken Sam Darnold or Josh Allen instead [sarcasm off]

No, We should have traded down. It is what I argued for at the time. Time has proven that o have been the correct move.
