It's that time of year again... I view mock drafts as kind of a fun time killer. I don't take mocks seriously, especially this early, but when I see them they are like a guilty pleasure. I'm posting this one because the three QB's go 1,2,3 and the Giants trade back to 9. So for discussion... do you like the trade back? Do you like the selection of Bowers? Do you think the compensation is adequate or not enough?
1. Bears - Caleb Williams, QB
2. Washington - Drake Maye, QB
3. Pats - Jayden Daniels, QB
4. Cards - Marvin Harrison Jr., WR
5. Chargers - Malik Nabers, WR
6. Bears - Laiatu Latu, Edge
7. Titans - Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT
8. Falcons - Jer'Zhan Newton, DL
9. GIANTS - Chicago sends its third-round pick (No. 75 overall) to New York in this slide back, and the Giants get Brock Bowers in the process. Win.
Bears trade up tp # 6 - (
New Window )
They need QB, WR, ER, CB.
Why is this so doggone hard to understand?
need a 2
FWIW, the draft pick value charts have the difference between #6 and #9 the same as the 4th pick of Round 3.
They need QB, WR, ER, CB.

NEVER say not and they very well could take a player head and shoulders above others. That being said a 3rd to drop from 6th to 10th is way too light. A 3rd and a 3rd next year, maybe, a 2nd swap and a 3rd makes more sense.

sorry, 3rd and a swap elsewhere could make more sense. No way we do it for a 3rd period.

I'm not going to disagree with your take at all. I do think Bowers is worthy of a top ten selection by someone. I think the majority of posters will opine that the Giants would need more than a 3rd to drop to 9.

I mean, if Bowers is going to be Rob Gronkowski, you'd take him in a heartbeat.
I'm not saying he is, but if the belief is that he can have that kind of impact on an offense as both a blocker and a receiver, it would not be a bad pick.
For the Bears, it would give them a better selection of WRs at #6.

The bears are getting the #1 OT in the draft with the 6th pick. They should give considerably more than the chart

I don't make the values nor the trades. I'm just reporting what the chart says. Take it, again, FWIW.

You don’t think we need more OL help?
Since when did you become a believer in Neal, Bredeson, Ezeudu, Pugh, McKethan, Peart and Glowinski? Some of these are free agents so they may not even be on the team.

no they are not: 6. Bears - Laiatu Latu, Edge
Agreed. It took the Eagles a third to swap with Dallas to get DeVonta Smith, and that was just 2 slots, lower in the draft.
To flip from 6 to 9, I'd want a #4 and their 2nd from next season. (They already dealt their 2.)
A TE at 9th overall? Can't be serious.
No matter what NY loves, if the Bears also want to go with a new QB, then you aren't going to get one of the top three.

I’m tired of the half measures if they love one of the qb’s do what you need to and go get him and then move on and start building the rest around him.

Exactly good sir
Well, if he's a better and more athletic version of Sam LaPorta, I'm guessing fans would not think it was absurd to have a player like that.
People have unreal expectations based on what teams give up to get to no. 1 or 2, or teams moving up 10 or more spots.The Bears give up a high third in this to move from 9 to 6. The Eagles gave up a fourth to move from 10 to 8 to pick Smith. You're not getting a first unless you move down 10 or more spots. You won't get a 2 unless you move down 5 or more. It also depends on who teams want. QBs will bring high picks.
I prefer Nabers or Odunze, but if QB isn't there and Nabers is gone I can see the logic in Bowers.
How did the picks of Odell Beckham Jr. and Barkley work out?
I remember when the people here were all saying they should get rid of Nicks because he was doggin' it in camp. In his contract year he was not trying hard. Sorry, but I must continue to rarely show up here.
How many obscure receivers made big plays in the Super Bowl runs, all of them, and then were out of the league two years later. Plax is the only name receiver on any of those teams and he had one big game in Green Bay and was silent in the Super Bowl until the TD pass.
Oh my God! A wide receiver.

I agree. But they don’t have one, unless they maybe get one for Fields; even if it’s in the late 50s.
Giants could then package up 2 of these 3: 38, 47, 50+, back into round 1, if they can find a buy…if they wanted to.

Yes to Odunze in this spot.
No trade up.
That $ can be used for FA to fill a gap

We're not in the 1980s anymore. The NFL has been opened to favor the passing game, not the power run offense. And secondly, the Giants aren't contending any time soon. They have way too much work to do, on the field and and the coaching staff. And finally, there are other rounds to grab a tackle. You can absolutely find a quality OT after Rd 1. Alpha WR1 are not as easily found.
Nor are the Offenses run by strictly Air Coryell. You saw Chiefs win last year and they relied on a running game. And who is the MVP of the 49er's?
The point is-- sometimes the passing game gets shutdown. How good can a WR be going for championships with a crummy OL and QB?
If he’s the next Mark Bavaro I’d take him.
The team needs some ‘nasty’.

Bavaro 4th

Using a Top pick on a TE is malpractice.. See Kyle Pitts, David Njoku

The Chiefs' running game pushed through because they were the beneficiary of a great coach and an all-pro QB. If they stacked the box with 8, we wouldn't be having this conversation. The running game benefited from the defense trying to minimize the slick passing game. And the MVP of the 49ers is an all-world weapon. He was playing well before he got there. C Mac is not a UDFA. And yes, you need complimentary football. All run or all pass isn't going to win you games. The passing game can be shut down, just like the running game can be shut down. This team is lacking in scary talent. The OL needs to be worked. You don't reach for a single OL. The QB needs to be upgraded. The fact that they reached for a mediocre QB is the reason they are in this mess now. At #6, they need an impact play maker. Somebody that the opposing unit will have to game plan for. An OT is not that player in this draft and I don't see a franchise QB falling. No more reaching, especially for OL. They pumped enough resources in to that position. Hopefully, the new coach can get these guys going.
Everything above you said here also applies to the WR. While WR is more impactful than the RB but the Giants team is devoid of overall talent not just at WR. The WR pick you are proposing can't have championship impact until the OL is fixed or they get a top-tier QB.
Where has Jefferson led Minny? Where has Hill led Miami? Where has Chase led Cincy without Burrow? These are "all-world" players just as you refer to McAffrey as and speak of KC.
And while you speak of San Fran today- well what about prior to McCaffrey? Didn’t hey get to a super bowl with an elite defense and not so high-powered passing game? SO why should we ignore this when we see that it has worked while we have also seen the superstar WR's of Jefferson and Hill go nowhere? And Chanse only gets to Super Bowl because of the super QB.
If you don't have the super QB-- build the trenches just as San Fran has shown. Where is Jefferson going to lead Minny in the future as great as he is? Probably the same with Hill. And both teams qb's are pretty good - yet where are they lacking? In the trenches. That’s why if possible the WR should be passed otherwise without the super QB or without the trenches, that WR you are proposing ain't leading Giants anywhere.
As I have said though on other threads if they can’t get the QB and the WR pick is quite a bit better than other picks, and you can’t trade down in the manner you like, then yeah get the WR. As I said on other threads; that would be disappointing but yeah – ok.

What San Fran has done with their roster is consistently hit on their picks, trades, and FAs. They swung for the fences with Lance and missed, but they usually hit more than they miss. Their lines were built slowly and without reaching. I always helps to have a smart coach and front office. Right now the giants haven't shown they have any of those things. What I am saying with this thread is they need to get talent with their first three picks. Be it a WR, game wrecking edge or DT, alpha WR, or even later on, a mauling OL. They're not going anywhere for a minimum of two years. QB is still a question, holes on this roster as well as the coaching staff. They can take their time. If they trade up for the signal caller, great. if they trade down, they can accumulate some players to continue the rebuild. But no more going to the grocery store famished. No more paying premium price for Wagyu and end up getting spam.
Thanks I enjoy the civil conversation. Just curious, why do you think they nead an alpha WR this year when they have so much to fill going forward?
You don't agree with that with a lousy OL and a subpar/and/or lousy QB that the alpha WR won't have that much of an impact other than get you some wins but lead you to mediocrirty which is the worst place to be? I see what Beckham did- he singehandedly won games to keep Giants at that mediocre level. Then at soem point everyone becamse tired of the other. The WR's tend to be mercurial. His greatness was wasted beucase the team wasn't ready just like this team isn't ready.
WR's also have a limited life that they are usper and by the time the giants get real good, that alpha WR is going to be looking for elite bucks while not having many years left of elite play.

I see what Beckham did- he singehandedly won games to keep Giants at that mediocre level. Then at soem point everyone becamse tired of the other. The WR's tend to be mercurial.

They need an alpha WR1 any year. Does not matter. I'm tired of bringing a knife to a gunfight. And as I said, this team has holes. They're not contending any time soon until they shore up the coaching and talent. They are not one player away. hell, even if they shore up the OL, they're not going anywhere. QB, WR, OL, LB, RB, etc. They have holes. This year is a good year to start getting play makers. A lousy Ol will derail any offense. That goes without saying. So does a bad QB, which they have a room full of. So does a bunch of WR 2s and 3s masquerading as 1s and 2s. No consistent pass rush and suspect tackling. This team needs work. Blowing the 6th pick on an OT is not a smart investment. They can find OT/OL in the second or 3rd round. Other teams do it every year. Most of the great Ol in this league are littered with picks after the first or even in the bottom third of the first. So yes, the OL needs to be fixed. But so does everything else on this team. Let's get the OL coach in here to get the guys going instead of dropping another top ten pick on the line. Having an All Pro is fantastic, but not needed. You can get a bubbling pro bowler that is high functioning and can manhis position. That's what you need. 5 guys working as one. A bubbling pro bowl WR doesn't scare any one.
What you are proposing imo still is a knife to a gunfight. Again we see Minny with Jefferson and a decent enough QB they got beat by a team with a toy knife.
While you mention you can get OL (I believe they also need more help in the front 7) in rounds 2 and 3, they should try to build in 1st 3 rounds their front 7, not the WR if they can't get the QB. That same knife is being used too frequently in the trenches too.
You could worry about the WR once you get the QB. Jefferson was drafted 22nd. AJ Brown was drafted in Rd 2. Amon St Brown was drafted in 4th Rd. Tyreke Hill drafted in the 5th round. Recently Nacua in rd 5.
The big issue is I stated that you are going to waste years with this new WR - then once his contract approaches- he is going to want a massive extension which WR's tend to get though risky due to a limited life of being elite.
Instead you can more easily lock in the trench players and get good enough less expensive trench players in FA.
The 49er way should be the Giants way until they get the QB. -- But again if WR is quite a bit better - okay get him.
Until Offense and Defense trenches are improved significantly - the WR the get in this draft is nothing more than a paper knife. For example, trade down if possible.
