Now, I don't expect this to actually happen. The fan in me thinks there are enough good players here that the team gets some wins. The cynic in my thinks there's no way - even with a shot at the No. 1 pick - that the team actually does what's needed to get it (ie, they win a couple meaningless games to drop to 3rd or 4th).
But let's say the Giants DO lay the biggest turd of a season out of a 12-pack (or so) of crappy seasons, and we at LEAST have THAT to cheer for as the season sputters to a merciful end. If that ...
What would you want to see the Giants do with that No. 1 pick? Is quarterback a foregone conclusion with the pick? Or given players in college now, just getting started on THEIR seasons, would you prefer a trade-down (and if so, how many would be OK and how many is too many?) and in the event of your "dream" trade-down, what THEN?
But, I would draft my guy if it were me.
1- Which one
2- What did they have to give up to get him
Personally, I'm tired of this death by a 100 cuts
Let's have a shitty season that means something and get the draft pick we need
Ewers has been on the national scene since he was 18 yrs old and skipped his HS senior year to enroll at Ohio ST. He started at Texas as a 19 yr old kid. Some people have more negative perceptions about him because of that, but the kid has literally grown up in the public eye. He always had the skill, but he is a different player now (as all 21 yr old kids are vs their 19 yr old version). I think when its all said and done Ewers will be in the top 3 of the QB rankings, maybe #1 depending on the combines etc. I also think there are 3 or 4 QBs who will be very highly rated in the draft, a much stronger draft than people though 1 year ago
Yes!! If he can continue this level of play he's definitely going to be in consideration for the #1 pick. I was a big fan of him at Washington State and he's gotten even better. Doesn't get the love that a lot of other guys do because he played out West, but if Miami keeps this up he will start getting the recognition he deserves.
Here are his numbers through 27 career games (Ages 20, 21 & 22)
He's completing 66.1% of his passes for 7657 yards with 54 passing TDs and 17 INTs. He also has 248 rushing yards and 14 rushing TDs.
I am sorry sean, but why the hell wouldnyou trade from one of the most important positions in football, who is already locked up in Andrew Thomas
and why would you trade Dexter Lawrence? He is locked up long term..
Team needs a QB they dont need to start selling off pieces that are signed long term
Huge fan of Cam Ward.
H.U.G.E.
I'm not crazy about him hiring himself out to the Canes, but that's the world of professional football at the NCAA level.
But who is gonna argue with these stats after 2 games down in the Sunshine State:
46 for 61 (75.4% completion rate)
689 Passing Yards (345 YPG)
6 TD Passes
1 INT
Cam Ward probably would have entered the 2024 draft if he had a 1st round grade. So the guy who might be QB1 in in 25 would have been QB7 in 24.
Now QB is so unpredictable that any of them may succeed or fail.

This is a dumb way to look at it. Jayden Daniels would have been a 3rd or 4th round pick at best if he entered the 2023 Draft. He didn't and he went 2nd overall. Same could be said for Penix & Bo Nix if they came out after their 3rd year in college. Instead they all stayed in college for 5 or 6 seasons.
We need to see how the QB prospects end up this year before making that statement.
I am laughing and crying at the same time.
So no matter what they do next April, it's wrong. I guess there's no way the QB they might pick next April is better or more highly rated than the likes of JJM, Penix or Nix. Seems like a stretch to believe that especially if they are picking the 1st QB in next year's class. But whatever works.
I do have high hopes for a great year from Ward this year though. He's fun to watch.

It would be so Giants to pass on the better WR product than Nabers (the monster WR at Arizona) so they could pick a QB that might not be as good as one of the guys they passed on last year to draft Nabers.

It's amazing watching you build yourself up from crestfallen on Sunday evening all the way back to full optimist the following Saturday. I have got to give you credit.
But watching some of the early returns from Beck, Ward and Ewers, as well as Dart, Weigman and Sanders et al, I am thinking this year may be better than people expect. Gun to my head, if the Giants have a top three pick, I would go with Beck, Ward and Ewers in that order, but that could change if Ward and Ewers keep balling out. Hopefully we will have the luxury of getting to choose next year.
I actually think there may be more QBs in the 2025 class who are better than this secondary group from 2024. They might not go as high due to less need by teams in the top 10. But there are several guys who have real good potential if they put it together. Beck, Ewers, Ward, Dart, Nussmeier, Milroe, Moss, Gabriel (older, and short, and maybe showing Nix's success was the system), Allar, and, yes, Sanders, though I doubt the Giants will want anything to do with him. Then you have some intriguing second level options, such as Howard and, can't believe I'm saying it, McCord. They all have some warts. But at this point no one knows where these guys will be ranked. After a few weeks of conference games we'll have a much better handle on who deserves to be ranked high.

I am miserably hopeless and this probably won't change. I was just saying there's a chance next year's top 3 QBs are higher rated than JJM, Penix and Nix.
Don't worry I won't exhibit any hope any time soon. We don't want that around here...
Only 7 more years to go.
