One of the 3 will be there.  

Cross will be there and shouldn’t be taken at 6. I’ve seen him ranked in the 20s by scouts. He also would have trouble sliding over to OG if he struggles at LT giving him a higher bust potential.

I think (hope) by getting burned 2 years in a row that they will pump the brakes a bit.  Plus he is hurt.   

Rhule doesn't have the luxury of pumping the brakes now. He's down to his last swing.

Perhaps the most brutal thing ever said to someone on the Huddle.

I might need a break after that one…lol

The Giants apparently love Cross…but the Giants are pretty nuts

Yeah, the Giants have been almost as poorly ran as we've been in recent years. The final nail in the coffin of the "we really screwed up firing Gettleman" argument.

Gettleman was really bad for them.  Similar situation with picking Daniel Jones that high.  He reached.  OT drafting was suspect as well.   I think he has a belief in building a team that was behind the curve.

I think Ikey might bust.  We evaluate this dude against competition and he was average.  Lots of reaching blocks and he might have weight issues.  Neal is so much more refined as a player.  Penning is extremely underrated as a LT prospect.  Really good athleticism.  Concerned about his his jump in comp but this dude is huge, strong and nasty.  Do like Penning

It's worked before. Your best bet of landing a legit QB is with a VERY high first round draft pick. So yeah, if #6 overall could get us either a good LT or a spectacularly bad QB, I'll go with option B. We're still a 6-7 win roster with a good LT. That'll be good for a pick in the lower half of the top 10 again. And likely watching those QBs we covet go just out of reach. Again.

 

 

This is such a weird take…if your goal is to put all your eggs in the 2023 basket, then why not Option C - trade #6 for multiple picks in next year’s draft? Your preference is for us to waste a #6 OVR pick on a bust of a QB?

Here's the problem:

We need a QB and LT 

We have the #6 pick but our next selection is #137 

This means we can only solve 1 of those two issues

- we take Pickett/Willis @6 we miss out on a LT

- we take Cross/Ekwonu @6 we miss out on a QB

In this draft, we can take a QB at 6 and miss out on both a LT and QB.  If so, next year we could well be exactly where we are in both positions right now, except maybe with a backup QB on a rookie contract. 

I have no faith in this year's QB class, and even if I did, I have less faith in our ability to evaluate which of them might just turn into an NFL QB.

It get us closer to the goal of landing an elite QB. If it takes a Clausen 2.0 to get there then so be it.
