Circle the date: November 10th in Germany against Carolina

M.S. : 9/9/2024 7:28 am

I thought the NFL was trying to solidify its foothold in Germany, but I guess not, unless maybe -- just maybe -- the Germans are interested in who will have the #1 Pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Ryan Wilson and Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports are definitely interested. The former has the Giants trading up from #4 to the top spot, while the latter has the Giants sitting on the third pick. But that was before yesterday's franchise-busting debacle:

Ryan Wilson -- Top 5 (9/4/2024)
#1 NYG (trade with NE) Carson Beck, Georgia, QB
#2 Denver, Mason Graham, Michigan, DL
#3 Carolina, Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas, OT
#4 NE (trade with NYG), Will Campbell, LSU, OT
#5 Titans, Mykel Williams, Georgia, EDGE

Chris Trapasso -- Top 5 (9/4/2024)
#1 NE, James Pearce Jr., Tennessee, EDGE
#2 Carolina, Mykel Williams, Georgia, EDGE
#3 NYG, Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss, QB
#4 Washington, Will Johnson, Michigan, CB
#5 Titans, Nic Scourton, Texas A&M, EDGE

Just WTF

Is the connection between Nov 10 game in Germany and 2025 Draft??

And this has gotta be a record even for BBI - ONE game in and we’re talking about next year’s draft. Not saying it’s wrong, not saying make it stop! - just noting the occurrence.

I don’t know that Beck

Is going to be worth trading up for. He didn’t look very special against Clemson. Hopefully someone else will step up and prove worthy.

I think the OP is making the point

that the Giants need to lose enough games to get a shot at a top QB (unlike this year) and losing to the Panthers will help that chance.

Because maybe, just maybe, Carolina in our only real competition for being the very worst NFL team in 2024. Whoever loses in Germany May we’ll be picking #1.

Carolina and the Giants in Berlin?

Maybe, just maybe, only the winning team should be guaranteed round trip tickets. Sorts of like a gladiators contest.

The idea that CAR, DEN, and TENN

won’t be drafting QB’s with top 5 picks is laughable. If Bo Nix continues to look like he did yesterday, Payton will drop him for a new crush in a heartbeat (if he’s still around to make that call). Young looked AWFUL yesterday, I can’t see CAR going into year 3 of the Bryce Young Experience. And Levi’s was brutally bad too, and I’ve always thought he was overhyped.

And as bad as we may think the Panther org is, if they’re willing to move off of Young after 2 years, they’re better at this than our guys are.
