Marvin Harrison Jr

AROCK1000 : 11/17/2023 12:17 pm
Put me down for being firmly in the Marvin Harrison Jr camp.
i believe he is the best player in the draft,and he fits a major need.
To be honest we rarely if ever have had a true WR1...
I am talking about in the history of my Giant watching life...going back to the late 70's.
I don't like chasing after hot QBs,unless they are truly can't miss-but even they are a miss.
Ryan Leaf leaps to mind...the list is endless.
if MH Jr is available,we should jump at the chance...
In the scenario DJ is unavailable next season-we can have a temporary fix via FA or trade....
But I think Harrison can be an absolute force,like his dad was

Put me in his camp too AROCK. Harrison is the goods.

The only time you should pass on taking one of the two two or three QBs in the draft (if they are realistically ranked top 5 overall, don't force it [see Trubisky]) in top top 5 or 6 spots is if you have a franchise QB in place and you ended up with a top 4 or 5 pick because he was hurt or through a previous trade. And even then you might take the QB based on your starter's injury, age and contract situation.

How about we don't do that and take the best QB available and trade back into the first round and pick a top 5 WR instead.
Drafting a WR instead of a franchise QB would be lunacy  
ElitoCanton : 11/17/2023 1:55 pm : link
who is going to throw him the ball? Hyatt is open on just about every route he runs. Jones couldn't get him the ball. Get a real QB. It is the only hope to turn this franchise around.

Then trade back into the late first round and get our QB.
I'm fine with Jr.  
Spider43 : 11/17/2023 2:03 pm : link
If we fall down to the #3 spot. I'd then want Schoen to go for the next best QB (might even be the highest rated on his board) in a trade up back into the first round (Daniels? Penix? Nix?). Assuming Caleb and Drake go 1 and 2. I might not want to trade up for one of them... it might 'cost' too much. It might be better to trade up for the 'best of the rest' (after the big 2), if we're at number 3 and we take Jr. there. I agree that Junior is the best player in this draft, and a sure fire hit. But QB is still QB (and that's EVERYTHING!), so if we're at #1 or #2, we have to take our QB.
I will say watching Beckham  
larryflower37 : 11/17/2023 2:04 pm : link
Killing DB on slants and double moves on top of the yards after the catch make QBs look really good.
Marvin Harrison Jr. is a great prospect  
Anakim : 11/17/2023 2:06 pm : link
Not as as good as Calvin Johnson was, but he's in the mold of AJ Green. I'd love to see him in blue...and yet I wouldn't because this team needs a franchise QB desperately.
Saquon was the Best Player Prospect in his draft too  
UberAlias : 11/17/2023 2:07 pm : link
I can't say that the guy at QB will be there for us when we pick, but get us a legit franchise QB and a whole lot of things will fall into place. That's what top QBs do in this age of football. Harrison should be considered a consolation prize if grade making QB is not there when we pick.
I am all for...

I would take him over the QBs  
Chip : 11/17/2023 2:21 pm : link
I prefer the OL over a WR. The QB from USC has played poorly against top 25 Teams 6 TDs 6 int, only 172 passing yds and 51.4% completion rate. Three red flags right there. He would be even worse behind our OL.

You see Josh Allen's stats against big 5 schools when he played?

You cannot judge QBs by the teams they played. Caleb has a terrible OL and his WRs arent good and thats not even discussing his defense.

end of thread. How did Detroit do with Calvin Johnson, possibly the best WR of the past 25 years? Sure, there is a bust rate with QB’s, even more so than other positions, but how the F*** are you getting a starting QB without drafting one?

The idea that all Jones needs are better weapons is belied by the separation stats of the Giants’ WR corps this year. All we heard last year was how little separation the WR’s got last year, and now none of the DJFC wants to talk about that.


Better weapons would be nice, but how about an actual fucking OL? I would have loved to have seen him with at least middle of the road blocking. That said, he is likely done here and I'll be shocked if we don't draft a QB high.



Yeah let's keep drafting those in the first round and hope for the best.

What a dumb response. But thanks. I don't care how they do it, but fucking fix it ALREADY.

He's my favorite player in the draft. Right now though if they're picking top 2, I'd have to go QB not because of Jones the player but because of Jones's health concerns. He has missed a lot of game time.

We've been in an endless loop of not having a WR1 and not having OL, so we can't even evaluate if we have a good QB or not. I couldn't imagine throwing another rookie qb into this mess.

My dream scenario would be for us to somehow trade down a few spots and get a QB and Harrison Jr.


We have our best chance to get a QB and 2 OLs with the 1st 3 picks to right the ship offensively.

Are going to be shocked at how good Keon Coleman and Malik Nabers are going to be in the NFL. Or how about Rome Orunze?

There are others.

You draft the QB. They have plenty of ammo to move up, but there will be opportunities to draft a receiver early in the 2nd also.

You don't want to waste this opportunity for a franchise-altering QB.

If they have the chance to  
section125 : 11/18/2023 7:17 am : link
draft a QB that they love, theyshould do it. Plenty of people to catch the ball coming out of college every year. QB? Not so much and you need to be in the top 5 picks to have a chance.

Jones is NOT the answer. He is shot. Guy cannot pull the trigger. He is not likely to be ready until late camp, if that. Two neck injuries and now the knee.

Time to move on, stop the bleeding and find someone that can make more than one read and willing to throw the ball.

I’m a big advocate for getting another quarterback; however, I wanna point out that when Deebo Samuels went down three weeks ago and missed those games, Brock Purdy did not do well. It does work the other way. In fact, San Francisco lost three straight games in a row.

And when Justin Jefferson went down, the Vikings started winning. You can find examples of just about anything.

I’d say losing Trent Williams for those games was likely a much bigger reason for Purdue struggles. He’s the best LT in football
