Bills04 46 Posted March 22, 2018 Bucs acquired Jason Pierre-Paul and a fourth-round pick from the Giants in exchange for a third-round pick and a fourth-round pick. It is a stunning move both because of the paltry compensation and because it only saves the Giants $2.5 million against the cap this season while opening a massive hole on the depth chart. Wow... They also cut DRC. I loved the Solder signing, but the rest of this off-season has me scratching my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted March 23, 2018 It's a no-brainer the Giants should deal with Denver if they aren't taking a QB. Worst case they either get Chubb or Barkley at 5. Cleveland-QB Denver- QB Jets- QB Cleveland- Chubb or Barkley Giants- Whoever Cleveland doesn't take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shutdown 40 Posted March 23, 2018 I don't think Denver is taking a QB. I think they could potentially take one if the one they like falls to them here, but I don't think they'll move up to get one. I think if any team deals with the Giants it will be the Bills. If the Giants aren't going QB this year, they have so many needs it would make sense to take Buffalo's 2 #1's and get some OL help.

You could be right. I'd say your scenario of taking a QB if one falls to them, is much more likely than them trading up to get one. I believe that the odds on favorite are of them taking Chubb, Barkley, or Ward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 1,886 Posted March 24, 2018 Yes indeed they do need to take him, and it would be a disappointment too Gmen fans if they do not. Thanks for the reply. Taking Barkley would definitely help the Giants be in position for a top pick again next year for sure. Making poor decisions with top draft picks can really help a bad team stay bad. Then next year when they pick 1st overall, they can get the best punter at #1, then earn another top pick the following year. Do this until Manning finally leaves. Then they can start over completely and try to build a solid team. Go Ramblers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I think they're drafting Chubb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,516 Posted March 24, 2018 Maybe they should take him? Not need. Yes they should, because they need too. They lack any since of a rb1, and Barkley can help create instead help, which would help Manning and that entire offence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 1,886 Posted March 24, 2018 I kind of hope the Giants draft Barkley. I am kind of rooting for the Browns to build up a good team. No fan base deserves to toil in misery for so long as they have. So if the giants go RB at #2 then Chubb will most likely fall to the Browns. Then they get their favorite QB, and the best non QB player this year. Or maybe they even take the Notre Dame guard (who is the second best non QB in the draft this year) which is very cool. Wish the Bears could get him. Go Ramblers. Final 4 coming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Lev Bell says "screw it" and retires, the Steelers will have a losing record. With him,they are a Super Bowl contender. Dallas lost 3 of their first 5 games with Elliott playing. Those games count too. There is no way to tell that they would have made the playoffs if he wasn't suspended. Plus, the Dallas o-line was, and still is, light years ahead of the Giants..

Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted March 25, 2018 Can't listen to non Giants fans about this upcoming draft. As a fan of the team, I think they cant make a bad choice here. QB, Barkley, Chubb, trade down. They were 3-13, but a year removed from 11 wins with a numbskull at the helm. They either get a big time player for now or build for the the future. I'm good either way. But the rest of you are going to dog them no matter what. Enjoy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the rest of you are going to dog them no matter what. Enjoy. They have the 2nd overall pick. Of course they are going to have multiple options of top players. I still dont see why they wouldnt be huge into going QB. Unless they dont like Rosen. By all means if Darnold is the only guy they like and he goes 1st then don't take one. But I don't buy this philosophy that they are contenders Nd Eli has mutiple good years left. Odell is a headcase. Eli is over the hill. And their defense is in decline. Obviously they have nice options outside of QB. They pick 2nd overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The moment they moved Flowers out of LT they improved. Considerably. They spent no money b/w 2012 and 2015 and had bad drafts. Their last draft class looks good and they added Ogltree to a good defense that had no LB's. None. Top shelf safety, CB and D line. Let's not act like there is no talent.
