I kind of read this as, if we can't get our QB this year (the guys we like might require a trade up cost vs grade too steep), then we'll continue to build out the roster and secure ammunition to make a move next year.


That's how I read it as well, although it would be interesting to see if they draft a QB later on if they miss out on one of the "big four."

Um, this is completely the opposite. The last GM always sat still and selected a whoever was available. That's not this.
Good.

Yeah. My hunch has been that we'll see a QB at some point regardless. It could be one of the tier2 guys, but it could end up being developmental guy depending on how things play out.
The Giants will almost certainly draft a QB  
Mike from Ohio : 3/17/2024 12:00 pm : link
Even if they don’t in the first, they will pick up one somewhere, even if it is in the 3rd/4th round as a developmental guy. I think there is almost zero chance they don’t take one at some point in the draft.
If so  
Sammo85 : 3/17/2024 12:00 pm : link
I wish the next GM/HC good luck when they join either in Jan 2025 or 2026.
The team has a ton of holes  
larryflower37 : 3/17/2024 12:00 pm : link
And nothing is guaranteed to fall the way they predict, it's safe to have a 2nd plan in place in case.
And picking a developmental player  
Mike from Ohio : 3/17/2024 12:03 pm : link
In the 3rd/4th round makes much more sense when you consider they signed Lock to be the backup so that a rookie QB likely never has to come off the bench to play in 2024.

My hope is still that they make a move to get a top prospect they like. You have a coach who has a reputation for being a QB guru, it doesn’t make sense to not get him some really good clay to mold.

This is why fans cannot be taken seriously. You guys are just never happy. Either Schoen gets accused of not being able to keep their intentions private or when their intentions are obviously completely unknown based on the public information being all over the map, he gets accused of being another rudderless GM and he’s just dithering. He simply can’t win with you guys. No matter what report gets spewed he’s either loose lipped or an indecisive boob.
If Schoen doesn’t like any of the QBs at 6,  
cosmicj : 3/17/2024 12:09 pm : link
I prefer he take Nabers, who I’m convinced would thrive in the Daboll system, and then consider taking 2 developmental QBs in rounds 2-5. No reason not to double up.

I said "hopefully", he isn't. It means I still have hope he can turn this franchise around. I haven't turned on Schoen yet. But there seems like a lot of back and forth, trade up, then trade back talk. Whereas the Vikings seem a bit more direct and focused. I still have an open mind, though.

I’d personally stay at 6 and take Odunze or Alt. Once you get past 10, you are getting into the red chippers
I wouldn’t have a problem with it

The key to trading down  
Giantimistic : 3/17/2024 12:26 pm : link
Is getting a 1st from a team most likely to suck.

Bears just demonstrated why. I don’t want a teams mid to late first round next year. I want a top 10 pick.

Which trade back partner is most likely to be bad?
Better not trade down  
Carl in CT : 3/17/2024 12:28 pm : link
If a run on QBs happen and MHJR is on the board. Those that don’t think he is a building block are thinking too hard the highest WR prospect in years.
Here's what I think.  
MOOPS : 3/17/2024 12:29 pm : link
Chicago and Washington ain't tradin out of 1 and 2.
New England is the wild card. They could move back to 6 or 11 depending on what QB is left on the board. That would make it more likely a draft day trade. Unless of course you sail into Boston Harbor with a Spanish Galleon loaded with 8 ton of doubloons to entice them to make the trade now.
Arizona and the Chargers are both desperate for receivers and one of the three top guys would still be there for either team at number six, so a move there is still an option for them. I don't think either team is likely to move to 11, but WTF do I know.
The last option would be another draft day trade, oddly with the Vikings. Depending of course if their guy is still there at six and our guy or guys are already gone.
So putting all this together, I don't have a friggin clue.
And I doubt if any of these beat guys do either.
Carry on.
So, to be clear  
David B. : 3/17/2024 12:29 pm : link
The Giants could:

Trade up.
Trade down.
or stand pat at 6.


Brilliant!

Right, the top 3 teams all *really* need QBs. The only way you get one is if one of those teams takes one of them off their board.

Yes the of course they could make a trade with the Chargers, that's an option as well, that's assuming the Giants feel the 4th QB left is someone they like enough.

This is spot on. They may not even want the 4th QB.

They could have drafted Justin Fields or Micah Parsons in the first round in 2021, but they gave the 11th pick to Chicago to move back to 20th and drafted Kadarius Toney. That's what I see when they move back, a total FUBAR for years.
Love all these conflicting reports  
j_rud : 3/17/2024 1:10 pm : link
Of course its situation dependent but generally speaking not a big fan of a trade down here because it would seem to be passing on elite talent that is desperately needed. Yes the roster is thin pretty much throughout and adding picks has its merits. But in most non-QB scenarios I'd prefer the receiver. Esp Odunze.

Yeah, that wasn't necessarily a great trade. But the bigger problem was not that they traded down, it was what they did with the picks. At #20, they took Toney instead of Christian Darrisaw, and then took Neal at #7 the following year instead of Garrett Wilson.

Every year is unique. I'd still prefer to take Nabers or Odunze at #6 instead of trading back if we miss out on the "big four" QBs, but would at least listen to offers.
I would rather they trade back and pick Penix/Nix in the 9-15 range  
Formerly TD : 3/17/2024 1:41 pm : link
And use the extra pick(s) they acquire to trade up into the 15-25 range to select one of the other first round WRs.

Basically, Penix/Nix + Thomas/Franklin. Then use the remaining 2 and 3 on CB and OT.

Saying this because I think the QB class is pretty flat after Caleb. Also think the WR class is fairly flat after MHJ.

I'm really glad a lot of you yahoos don't run this team. Imagine giving up one the best interior defenders in the game today for a guy just as if not more likely to turn out to be Daniel Jones II as a top 5 QB.

I'm all in on drafting a QB, but trading your premiere talents for a 50/50 shot at a good qb at absolute best is moronic. Trading Dex for anything outside of the #1 pick to get your favorite would be incredibly silly and probably wouldn't be enough for Chicago anyway. For #2 or #3? Incredibly silly. You can make a stronger argument for Thibs or Banks, I suppose. But yikes.
They would be foolish to trade down  
GiantsFan84 : 3/17/2024 2:16 pm : link
These are elite WR prospects. Absolutely Elite. Size speed production and contested catch experts. Everything you want. It’s exactly what this offense needs (besides a QB). Elite WRs get paid enormous sums of money in the free agent market so there is great positional value. Take the WR at 6 and call it a day if they can’t go QB.
I see this as further confirmation  
HardTruth : 3/17/2024 2:24 pm : link
Against Jones

You dont trade out of a WR1 that you have been trying to acquire for 5 years?

You only do that if you think you dont have a QB

All signs point to Giants desperately seeking a QB. Scouting all these guys, Russ, trying to trade up etc and now considering moving down with Vikes having ammo to jump them and all 4 QBs gone

Agree Caleb is in his own tier. But I think Nabers is close to MHJ. I think he'll be the most explosive playmaker in this draft.

Only sin a GM can make is to have tunnel vision/inflexabity. NYG have had a few GMs that didn’t pass that test. Good for Schoen for being ready and not just hoping things will turn out the way he wants it.

You have a bizarre mind. White towel? Kitchen sink? I hope you interview for GM next year…those phrases play well in east rutherford.

Tim in Eternal Blue : 3/17/2024 5:14 pm : link

QB, WR, DT, TE, CB, S, LB. The team has more holes than picks. If we can’t get our QB of preference then I’m good with moving back and getting as many 2nd round picks we can get.

Picks 22-50 is full of talent.

I don't think anyone is going to jump up to #6 for a receiver. It would have to be a scenario where one of the QBs falls to #6 and the Giants aren't keen on him but someone else is.

Brian Thomas Jr becomes a top flight #1 WR...If you traded down into the 10-15 range, and you ended up with Thomas and more picks, you might not be losing anything in terms of impact at the WR1 position. Looking at the WR position in a bubble wrt to this draft, obviously.
