ny92mike Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just now, Acgott said: Eli will be 37. He has a year or so left. We need to plan for the future. I do agree that the Giants will not draft a QB in the first though. I believe they will go BPA and that player won't be a QB. He's definitely getting long in the tooth, which is why drafting Webb made sense, someone that they could learn over the next couple seasons, but drafting one in the first especially as high as we are talking, is more like what happened the year Eli was drafted, he sat for several weeks, but eventually was the starter that same year. Do you think Webb was drafted as their plan for the future? Traditionally, it has been BPA or where they married BPA with need, for example drafting the TE and DT and perhaps even the QB all needs but none of them seemed reaches to me. Personally, I'm hoping that they draft one of these left tackles I keep hearing about. I know that the kid from OU is as solid as they come but I hear there is a better talent out there.

Acgott Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I believe Webb will be given the opportunity to compete for the starting job with the rookie we draft in the first 3 rounds. Its all a guessing game. We can't put all our chips onto one player and hope he is our chosen one. We need plan A, B, and C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny92mike Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Heck, I drafted Mitchell Trubisky with the first pick in one of my TCMD mock draft, because I felt I had addressed the offensive line issues the best I could through free agency and the top tackles were off the board by the time I picked, but we've got an early pick this year and if we don't address this offensive line this year, I'm jumping. Not far but I'm jumping. Man you need to get involved with my mock this year. GM the Giants. We put on a pretty good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking over some mock draft stuff and got to thinking, that we could afford to restructure some of these heavy contracts to bring in some serious cash this year. Providing Eli retires after his last extension, the restructures wouldn't hurt us now and not so much in the future either; as Eli's contract expires in 2019 after that he's saving us 23.2 million and with the way the salary caps are increasing now. Anyway something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Sorry I don't have time for GM Mock draft. And no to restructuring. It just hurts us in future years. The Giants aren't scavenging for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go_Giants Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Eli is not the problem but with all the bad throws of open wide receivers, for me he is no longer the answer. I went through the Kent Graham/Danny Kannel era and felt we got lucky to get Kerry Collins. I don't feel like going through that era again. I would feel a lot better getting the QB of the future right now rather than risking the future on another failed Reese 3rd round draft pick.

I have heard a lot of question marks about them. We can’t afford to pass up a top player to dance with a question mark. That is how you destroy a franchise.

We can’t afford to pass up a top player to dance with a question mark. That is how you destroy a franchise. The Cleveland Browns thought similar things about Wentz and Goff and have been laughed at for passing on them. Unlike the Cleveland Browns we are not going to be 0-16, 1-15 or 2-14, most of the time to have a chance to get a franchise QB. I have not watched a second of college football, so I have no idea who the top QB are. I have heard that this is is suppose to be a deep QB draft. I also see that PFF mock draft has four QB's taken with the first 6 picks. I have complete faith the Giants scouting department is not bad enough to screw this up. In case you have not noticed, both the Cowboys and the Eagles have franchise QB's. The way you win Championships for the most part in this league is with a franchise QB. So unless you are going to be happy being the Miami Dolphins of the NFC East for the next 15 years, we should get a franchise QB in a deep QB draft while we have a top 3 pick to get one. Other wise our future is going to be 8-8 give or take a game every year never to be considered a serious Super Bowl contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always going to be a major risk, but to push off the problem is 100% franchise suicide. QB purgatory is not a good place to be, and it could last 20+ years. Besides, every QB I can think of aside from Luck was considered overrated and overdrafted because of their position. Remember everyone freaking out about Watson's throw velocity in a Combine drill? It's looking pretty dumb right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmen Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 So I watched parts of the UCLA / USC game last night to get a look at both QBs. I think Rosen played better, but obviously it's not the end all be all. Rosen reminds me of Jay Cutler. Tremendous arm talent and very accurate.. Darnold is more like Andrew Luck. Athletic, tough, big arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 @Go_Giants Yes, the Browns midpredicted the number 2 quarterback and it cost them dearly. We also see teams overpick quarterbacks all the time, and it much much worse. Reaching with a quarterback, causes much longer long term damage. We must be ? with this pick. Like you I have zero knowledge of the draft. I keep mixing up the USC and UCLA QBs. I hear one has some minor off the field issue, the other (or the same) is leaning towards going back to school. That would put Josh Allen as our QB. I’ll hear he is very inaccurate. The other possible is Mayfield who has a new on the field issue every week. @redsoxsuck314 we will draft one in the top 3 rounds to compete with Webb. With the predicted number 2 pick, we can’t afford to reach and miss out on the best non qb. Missing on the qb can cause more damage then passing him.
