I don't think he ever traded down in 4 years here and he would always talk about how he would rather get one great player than trade down for 3-4 picks. If the Bills offered him a truckload, I'm sure he'd take it, but it also wouldn't surprise me if it is something they aren't considering doing. In 3 out of the 4 drafts here, we had only 5 picks. Even in 2014, it was only 6. Not sure how that compares to the rest of the league, but its gotta be low. The difference here though is he can move down and still get an elite prospect. It just depends on if he has to have 1 guy or he’s flexible on 2-3 of them. If it’s 1 then he has to wait out 1.4 (BUF has to get that to make Gettleman know he’s still getting his one guy). If he sees 2-3 guys the same he could explore moving back to 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m also happy to stay at 2 and pick Nelson or Chubb if we don’t feel the compensation is good enough But that’s just dumb if you value those 2 guys the same. You trade with 1.5 anything decent extra is worth it. Even if it’s not book value. Now if you want over the other sure you make sure it’s worth it. FTR if they want Chubb then they should stay unless BUF moves to 1.4. If they want Nelson no way CLE wants him at 1.4. And maybe DEN doesn’t want to pay up for 1.2. So nothing is set in stone. But NYG would be silly not to move down to 1.5 if it nets them anything of value. It doesn’t have to “good enough” if it’s just bonus extra value and you know you are still getting the guy you want.

Anything of value. Maybe we are saying the same thing - your good enough makes it sound it has to meet some threshold. The issue is how high. It’s just not going to have to be a OMG deal if you are still getting the guy you want. If it’s 1.12 then BUF has to blow them away to give up that elite player. If you are set on 1 guy then it doesn’t make as much sense even for 1.5 because risking losing that guy you need more. I will say the threshold to move to 1.4 should be much lower. Because then you know you are getting the same guy whether it’s 1.2 or 1.4. You just have to set a price that 1.4 is willing to pay to jump IND. Right now CLE probably doesn’t want to since they will already have their QB. BUF might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think when you have such an elite prospect, you dont turn him down because you're praying you get a Kareem Hunt later on (which is incredibly unlikely anyway). In my mind it's like passing on Adrian Peterson or Calvin Johnson because you can find "good" guys at the position later. I'm not sure the same argument applies to an elite guard for the reasons you stated. I think a RB is far more impactful. I was referring to RBs in general, although it could certainly apply to Barkley. I mean, most would view Barkley as a top 3 prospect at worse and the chances of him going in the top 3 are pretty slim unless the Giants are willing to take him. From 2001 to 2010, we've seen on average 3 RBs go in the first round. Since 2011, we've seen on average 1.3 RBs go in the 1st round. Do you think that's by chance chance or would you argue that the RB position has been devalued in recent years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 58 minutes ago, Kip Smithers said: That’s the point though, you don’t wanna trade down and miss out on the elite prospects in the draft. If you know the drop off is significant between the elite and the rest then you stand pat barring a trade that blows you away. So I somewhat agree with this thinking. As for the Guards, Nelson is arguably the best player in the draft and is touted so much as a prospect. And the fact that there is precedent for Guards being taken in the top 10 is telling enough. Using history completely ignored the growing importance of the position itself, also the Giants just signed a good LT and to potentially pair him with Nelson solidified that left side for a long time. You can get Guards later and it should be considered but you have to approximate the gap between Nelson and others. That's what I was arguing. IF you're moving down, the price that the team is paying to move up has to be more than the player you're giving up. Is that worth moving away from that elite prospect? Depends on who you ask. For some teams, that might be a 2nd round pick. For a team like the Giants, they may want their 1st round picks this year, a 1st round pick next year, and more. Nelson is viewed as most as a top 3 prospect, maybe top 5 at worst. Yet he's going 5th at best barring some sort of surprise pick. Teams have found quality guards later in the draft, and your guards are only as good as the rest of the OL around them. Teams are armed with their highest pick on years, and they're going to take him that high? No. He's in for a mini-fall IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can if they don’t love the QB prospects. So in this case, from what it looks like they only love Darnold and that Eli orcWebb won’t preclude them from drafting him.

mitch_connor Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If they like one of these QBs a lot better than Webb, they should draft him. If they don't, they should take the best trade-down offer. Third best option would be Chubb, but I expect they will get some very generous trade offers that will eclipse his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft Chubb. thats it and I like all 3 of those options. We aren’t taking a QB and nor should we. At least you don’t have Barkley up there I still think Rosen is the pick they just put him through a workout as they should in due diligence but they could not have get your QB then maybe trade down in the 2nd pick up some later picks and build as much as you can Eli is 37 and the 2019 QB class sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the fact that they invested a 3rd round pick into him, there's NOTHING to indicate that he's the future starting QB for the Giants. Every franchise who invests into their QBOTF is always optimistic about their future. Brett Hundley, Garrett Grayson, Sean Mannion, etc. The list goes on and on. There's nothing that makes Davis Webb more likely to avoid the odds that he's the future in New York after Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t know he is the future or not, but they are willing to bypass an opportunity to draft a QB because in part they’d like to see what they have in him. Like people act like if we don’t draft a QB now, we’re doomed. Far from the truth. It really depends on how you view the player. Bringing up those examples completely ignores the evaluation of the players. It is very much possible that you draft a QB lower than what you graded. Each case is different.
