| NFL Draft notes I’ve gathered after speaking with multiple team sources: • #AZCardinals are driving a hard bargain to move back and are “more than happy” to take Marvin Harrison Jr. at 4 • #Chargers have explored moving down from 5, but are content staying put — likely to take an OT • #Bears aren’t married to WR at 9 — OT and EDGE are also options, while trading down remains a possibility as well • #Raiders are a candidate to move up for QB, but it’s going to be tough to get past 9 • #Vikings more likely to keep 11+23 at this point, though they continue to explore all options |
While they don't want to negotiate against themselves, can they afford to assume Minnesota is not going to trade up?
This.
Do the Giants take that chance?

Nope the Giants can't assume anything. They have to set a limit on what they are willing to spend to move up and not exceed that.
I'm guessing the Vikes aren't able to get up into the top 5 due to teams not wanting to move down that far and that's why they're likely keeping 11 & 23
Do the Giants take that chance?
You can’t take the chance. Be proactive and get your guy, assuming Maye is their QB1.
Harrison 4
Alt 5
Maye 6.
Win.
This.
Let the trade back auction begin!
Like Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, etc.
I feel like McCarthy could be that guy.
I could see that happening, but my gut says NE has Kraft wanting JJM and front office wanting trade down. I believe they are not enamored with Maye.

will be fascinating is if the Pats take Maye and the Giants find themselves at #6 with McCarthy still on the board.
That would be fine with me.
But they might not take McCarthy.
Which its seems likely based on a lot of the recent reports.

Well you think that way because like many of us, you are highly susceptible to what you are reading on this site.

Would be typical of our past 10+ years to trade down with the Broncos fail on the picks we get and watch JJM dominate for Sean Payton in Denver. Lol

I could be very, very wrong, but I think they would take him. It's going to be an interesting night either way...
As I've said before, the Vikings were only interested in Maye otherwise they were staying put and would take Penix at 11/23.

Not just that, I think Maye is a real boom or bust prospect. I don't like how he seems to respond to pressure by panicking and making mistakes/locking onto his first read. I see the upside, but the aforementioned potential issues are cause for extreme concern. I also really like JJM as a prospect more than Maye. I'd say my gut feeling about JJM to the Pats is based on my personal evaluation that I did before anyone said they liked JJM more than Maye. Then what I've heard on the site solidified what I studied and believed before any of the media stuff.
Do the Giants take that chance?
I'm not one who's for Maye, but if that's who they want, then trading with LA should be worth the risk of someone else jumping them. I guess it's a question of whether New England wants Maye or not.
Which is possible.
It's also possible that the Patriots are putting that out there to make the Giants and Vikings sweat.
Or that the Pats arent moving

is another way to read this and that is that the Vikings are losing to the Giants.
Or that the Pats arent moving
Which has already been pointed out.
This is going to happen in my opinion.
They will be looking at JJM, Nabers or Odunze.
If I had to guess it will be
Williams
Daniels
Maye
Harrison
Alt
I do think there is an outside chance you can flip McCarthy and Maye in the scenario and JJM goes 3 and the Giants are looking at Maye available at 6.
It's a shame that the NFL doesn't allow "Eli for Rivers plus picks" type of trades any more. Because if they did, this would probably work best for both the Giants and NE.

You mean the 2020 draft wasn't stressful when there were 4 offensive tackles to choose from?? I kid, mostly.
Oh, I've gotten e-mails from him. He has a lot to say.
On the site, he posted yesterday and said it was NOT true that ownership is against moving up.
