If we end up with a top 3 pick and take Connor Williams, or any other OL at that pick, im gonna puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough for playoffs, not bad enough to get our next franchise quarterback. My opinion is that if you have a 37 year old quarterback and you’re picking in the top 5, you draft a quarterback. It’s been a great ride with Eli and we will see him in Canton, but we need to look towards the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should go BPA with reason. If that is a QB, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Reese wont be here in 2 years. Who was the last top-5 pick OL who was actually a perennial pro bowl player? Joe Thomas? Trent Williams? You pick BPA, and there are about 3 QBs and a runningback better than any OL this upcoming draft. You have a better chance at getting a Luke Joeckel or Matt Kalil than getting a Thomas or Williams, especially with this current scouting department and management doing the evaluations.

A 38 year old Eli definitely won't be that. I like watching Saquon Barkley play. He's very exciting. But who was the last star RB to lead his team deep into the playoffs? Shawn Alexander in 2005? Adrian Peterson is a future HOFer and as dominant of a RB as I've seen, but his teams are always MIA in January. Meanwhile, the top QBs of the past decade all have rings. Brady, Rodgers, Peyton, Brees, Ben, Eli. The only ones that didn't get one are Rivers and Romo. I don't think I'm overestimating the need for a top tier QB.

Ohhhhh, I think we all have to have Faith in Eli- look at all the 37-year-old-plus immobile QB's that have starred in the playoffs over the years! Why, right off the top of my head, I can name George Blanda, not so long ago! And, uh, and, uh................................................................- well, I'm pretty sure there were some others! And, as far as star running backs leading their teams DEEP into the playoffs, didn't the Indianapolis Colts ride the churning legs of Trent Richardson to the very brink of the Super Bowl, what was it, 2013? 2014? - What? Neither one?!? Oh, okay, then- guess you were right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 38 year old Eli isn't winning anything Keep taking QBs even if the last guy fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that's fair take BPA, but don't take a freaking RB that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is BPA, which he very well might be, then yeah you take him. If teams fell in love with Zeke in the pre-draft process, wait until you hear how much teams are gonna love Barkley. He's a generational prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmen Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm actually not opposed to drafting a running back in the first round. I supported the idea of drafting Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Eliot (before the draft process). But, I wouldn't draft one over a QB at this point. I think not drafting a QB is just delaying the inevitable rebuilding process. Unless... the Giants believe in Davis Webb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a Tackle worth being taken in the top 5 then you take him over any RB. I'd honestly I'd invest anywhere on the LOS. Take a QB? Not a chance. If anything we should trade down if we're top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
