Maybe. At best. I don't doubt that the Giants are trying to win with Manning until he retires or his ability falls off a cliff (which could happen at any point). But they aren't likely to pick at #2 again, and NFL franchises have a longer horizon than one or two years.

Eli Manning is 37

Yeah that makes sense to me. I think it will be 1. Darnold 2. Rosen 3. Mayfield 4. Barkley Bills will miss out on this class or find a way to get Allen.

Something tells me if the Giants were trying to trade out of #2, the Jets would have aimed for that. I have a strong feeling that the Giants are taking a QB.

Trust the Process

Facts and opinions don't mix. That's why there is a different word to distinguish them from one another. I for one like my opinions to be as uneducated and as far from the truth as possible. An opinion based purely on emotion and perception is ideal.

I don't see what difference that makes!

Now hopefully the peanuts part is true as well. Just adds icing to the cake. Mmmm cake

Right? He could do much better with those sultry shoulders and head-turning hairline.

I love it. Low cost with potential. Not an expensive subpar known quantity that other teams are fighting over

I don't think the idea of the trade itself was that bad, or that the compensation for the move up was unfair. It simply is the case that Sammy Watkins explosive ability displayed in college only translated to the NFL in short intervals. He has been a persistently injured player. Even when healthy, he didn't live up to his billing. That's the risk you take when you move up to select your guy instead of choosing from those that are available to you. Nobody would be complaining if he met the consensus expectations held by the NFL scouting community.

I finally scrounged up the source. It's from yesterday. Just speculation apparently: http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/03/espn_names_buffalo_bills_as_team_that_might_target_ndamukong_suh_after_release.html Suh fits the mold of the 4-3 defensive tackle Buffalo desperately needs with Marcell Dareus gone and Kyle Williams heading for free agency or retirement. The Bills' signing cornerback Vontae Davis to a one-year worth up to $8 million showed they could be in the market for older, more accomplished free agents. If the price tag is right, Suh could fit that bill. Not from a source.

Nothing on twitter NFL news lists.

I felt this coming. Hopefully it wasn't gas. It would make a lot of sense to me. Got a link btw?

More like Rosen is going to bust all over the league for 12 years.

Kyle Williams is very close to retirement. Incognito is 34 years old. Benjamin is a piece, but certainly not a top-end #1 WR. That you are reaching for Lawson and Holmes really says it all in terms of the talent level on this team. Lets see: Malik Jackson, Telvin Smith, Jalen Ramsey, AJ Bouye, Myles Jack, Yannick Ngakoue, Calais Campbell.

All just terminology. If there is a player that you think has a high probability of being a franchise guy, the price does become somewhat secondary. Because if you are right, you underpaid. That doesn't necessarily have to be a top five pick, but if that's the market perception, the cost can't be allowed to be an obstacle when you have the means.

I see Tre White as a cornerstone kind of player. I see two very good safeties on fantastic contracts. I see good coaching and a reason to be optimistic with the front office. Shady McCoy is an amazing win now asset and fun to watch. That's about it. Beyond that, there is very little talent or anything of trade value. That Jacksonville team makes our team look like dog****. And that is with a mediocre at best quarterback. They likely have more talent on defense than we could compile from every roster in the last ten years.

That franchise is terribly run. I have always felt sorry that Rivers wasted his career with that half-rate organization. And for the short period of time where they actually did have the talent, they were an electric team to watch. It's a lot easier to put the talent around the QB than it is to find the QB. Opportunities to find the QB are very limited.

If you subject your eyes to the torture of watching the Buffalo Bills on a yearly basis, how in the hell could it not be yes?

We just had the joy of ending our playoff drought. Then we had our proud moment in the sun with a spectacular 3-point performance leading to an all-too-predictable first round exit. I would like to see them achieve something a little bit more fun than that, and prioritize all of their thinking around that goal. When I look at this team, I see very little talent. The effort is great, and the coaching appears to be a breath of fresh air, but we are not built to win now. We need to add talent to the team, and the best way we can do it is with draft capital

Someone who won't win too many games or have long term cap implications. Any true upside is a bonus.

I almost posted this myself as a caveat. You could probably find threads of Redskins fans celebrating that trade up when it happened, and even more so a full year after. Perhaps without Shanahan's handling history would be different. Ultimately, there is no sure thing when it comes to finding a QB. Your best chance is always going to be the best prospects, the ones that go at the top. Waiting around for Peyton Manning and hoping you have the worst record in the NFL the same year is not a realistic long term draft strategy. If you hit on a franchise QB, there is almost no haul of assets that can pry him away from you. The Browns could offer their entire draft this year with two top 5 picks for Wentz and get rejected.

You will see the words "project", "average", "not Mariota" etc. etc. You see they should have waited for a TRUE QB prospect to come sometime in the indeterminate future. That prospect would have had no question marks.

I found it very intriguing to look back at the situation surrounding the 2016 draft. Take a gander at the fan reactions.
