Is there a QB you would be against making that move for? I ask because of all the talking heads mentioning the Giants interest in trading up to the 4th spot for the 4th QB available.
For me, and maybe against the grain, I wouldn't love the idea of trading up for Maye, but McCarthy or Daniels, I can get behind.
I know there are a lot of different preferences(including not taking a QB), but of it is a QB, and they trade up, and only 1 of the 4 top QB's are available, who can you live with the Giants trading for?
All of the big four prospects are more talented than Jones, so the ceiling will be higher.
There's nothing more valuable than a top 3rd QB, so if it takes a trade up, great.
This is exactly sentiment

Daniels to me has some flaws, but I would trust the process. JJ I think is a significant reach, but again would trust the process.

This is where I am too
If they stand pat....I will be fine with a top 10 QB on a rookie contract at 6
.
If they trade down....I would be fine with a starting NFL QB on a rookie deal.
I'm not gung-ho for dealing up for a QB or taking one just to take one. But I'm also not going to pretend I have any ability to project a QB's success in the NFL.
So, we'd be trading for someone who could have gone #1 next year.
I think most get it, and if it doesn't happen it is what is. Worthy consolation prize awaits at #6, just don't fook it up.
I want to trust JS as I love the Giants and he has impressed me thus far. So I'll be "ok" with whatever we do but if it were me I'd draft Nabers/MHJ, be very careful with DJ to not get him hurt and have injury guarantee kick in, more or less resign myself that 2024 will be a bad season and run it back on QB dilemma next offseason with a very high pick. Having Nabers/Wandale/Hyatt gives weapons that defenses need to consider and a better set of tools on offense for a young QB. But we still need a better OL as well before I want to put a young QB back there.
People have critiqued the idea of a WR1 as its icing without the cake. My counter is that you can't even sign true WR1s in FA so this isn't just 5 years of a rookie contract with Naber/MHJ but also a likely extension thereafter.
JJ is ok at 6 not worth additional cost.
If they do draft McCarthy I will do an about face and hope I was wrong about him.
+1. Plain and simple.
I will support whatever the Giants do and hope for the best.
When it comes to Jayden Daniels I agree with you 100%. I think that kid is going to be an outstanding NFL QB, and I'd rather have him wearing the Giants uniform rather than an opponent, especially within the division.
He's the type of player who'll bring people to MetLife, right now the Giants don't possess a QB who will do that.
But I love Jayden Daniels, so I guess a trade up for him would be just fine. Don’t feel that way at all for Drake Maye or JJ McCarthy.

*I would probably be okay with trading up for Maye but try to do less of an overpay
*I would not trade up for Penix but would seriously consider him later in Rd 1 or early Rd 2 if available
*I would not be interested at all in JJM or Nix until Day 3

I completely agree.
This is the year to make it happen. It's hard to imagine that Schoen & Daboll haven't identified at least one of Maye/Daniels/JJ as a guy that would *greatly* improve the future outlook of the team. If they have, they need to make the move to 1.03 or 1.04 and get their guy. A QB room of Jones, Lock & Cutlets doesn't bode well for their future.
However, if Daniels somehow doesn't go #2, I do think he is worthy of at least serious consideration for a deal.
