Would You Trade A 1st Rounder For Victor Cruz?

[TheMaulClaw]

Dumb logic??? Ok, Brandon Marshall is a true #1 WR and he was traded for two 3rd rounders. So yeah, trading your 1st for a slot reciever (not even #1 on his team) is Dumb. Giants placed a 1st round tender on Cruz because they knew nobody would touch it. And if someone DID, they'd get a 1st for nothing. No one in their right mind would make that trade. And it has nothing to do wether he was drafted or not....BRO!!!

 

That is not what you said.  You implied that what we traded for him had a direct relationship to where he was drafted.  That is dumb logic.   Btw why wouldn't you trade a number 1 for a guy like Victor Cruz?  I don't expect to end up with a top ten pick next year.   You wouldn't trade a 22 for a young proven commodity, that our GM has experience with?   Receivers take a while to develop when they come out.  We're getting ready to head into our golden age, we're almost ready to make a deep playoff run.  I'd trade for Cruz.  Newton to Cruz has a nice ring.

 

Oh and BTW the only reason the 3rd rounders got Marshall is because of the circus he brings in.  If it wasn't for the controversy that historically he's always brought to a franchise they would have traded a 1st rounder.

Cruz - 1st round pick AND big salary

It's a double whammy peoples

 

I cannot believe it took almost 3 paged full of comments before someone actually thinks before making a post. Thank you! I am not even going to bother reading the rest but I think I have a way of putting it that most huddle would understand better:

 

Would you rather have:

1. Cruz

2. A first rounder pick and the Kraken? 

 

Because there is not chance in hell we could trade for and sign Cruz long term and pay the Kralen next year. 

 

Someone still thinks trading for Cruz is a good idea?

No what I implied was that the Giants receiving a first when they had NOTHING invested in him , would make them the clear winners in any trade that includes a 1st.

[G spot]

No.

 

 

 

I would possibly trade up in next years draft to get Sammy Watkins depending on what happens this season with our wide outs.

Very few players are worth a first round pick.

Considering how many 1st round picks bust out every year I would have to say that is inaccurate. If you could trade your 1st round pick for Cruz and pay him what you would pay your first round rookie there isn't a team in the league who wouldn't do that.

He is definitely worth a 1st round pick just not the contract he may be seeking. If he makes you a playoff team then that pick loses value anyway. It's a money thing not a pick thing.

[AceBoogie]

And by the way Marshall had MAJOR baggage which is why he didn't go for higher. He was already traded before that.

[La Pantera]

For 2 second rounders.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'd trade a first for Hakeem Nicks, but not Cruz.... 

 

If we were able to acquire Nicks, Smith could essentially take over the roll that Cruz is used in, in New York...

 

X - Nicks

Y- Smith

Z - LaFell

Nothing you just said makes my point inaccurate at all. Whether Victor Cruz is worth a first rounder or not is up for debate, but there still aren't many players in the league that a team would trade their 1st round pick for. And besides, any player that you would trade a 1st round pick for would be asking for that kind of money anyways, and that's usually the main reason that a team would rather just draft someone that could develop.

I'd like to get Cruz but I don't think I'd give up a 1st...

[sharonmcmillion]

Gman was smart to tighten up our defense this year...I agree his plan is to sign a top notch WR next year...I really like what I've seen from him so far

 

[lovelett]

Ya, Marshall is a nut, I would give up a first for Cruz before 2 thirds for Marshall.

[Doc Holiday]

I would not he's a good player but all big market players get overrated a bit, best example of this is Roy Williams the Cowboys safety was just ok in coverage but could lay a big hit every once in a while(and get ran over too lol), and went to tons of Probowls because he plays for the Cowboys when every year I wouldnt say he was actually one of the 2 best safeties in the NFC ever
