Not looking forward to Mayfield in the division
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 I'm 100% sure if Darnold is available that the Giants take him.

They are on his “list” (also, they didn’t recruit him so there’s that) 1

There is a decent split between OU, OSU, and UT. Then a bunch of other college teams like Texas A&M, BYU, Auburn, Bama etc.

They are on his “list” (also, they didn’t recruit him so there’s that) I like Baker Mayfield, but it's little things like this that make me think he wouldn't be Beane or McD's first, second or third choice. What he says here I'm sure some GM's find it telling. He said he talked to the NFL guys and they said he needs to calm it down a bit but he indicates that there are some things that it doesn't matter what someone says to him, he's not going to budge on his stance. Again, I like Baker a lot, but these are not words I see Beane and McD desire coming from a guy leading their culture. So they (Texas) passed on you, you hold a grudge. Leadership requires that you let it go and move on. Edited April 16, 2018 by NewEraBills 2

But the sheer number of meetings they have had with him make me think there were questions and not sure whether they had them answered.

Also, is he really taller than Altuve?

This is why I'm taking deep breaths and saying it's OK if they don't draft the guy that I want them too. I'm in my living room watching the guy play. They have to meet with him daily, walk through things, eat breakfast with him, travel with him, wonder if they are going to have to clean up something he's said. I like Mayfield, but I'm not seeing it for us.

Maybe he’s ok with it, but it’s definitely a factor.

The Giants staying at taking QB is worst case scenario. I think our best scenario is Barkley #2 / Chubb #4 / Nelson #5, aka the teams who aren't desperate for QB taking the "elite" prospects. That would leave the Colts looking at the DBs / LBs with two of the "top 4" QBs on the board, ie perfect position for a favorable trade up to potentially get one of our guys. 1
Boatdrinks Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Giants are milking the hell out of this one, and for Bills fan's sake I wish they'd just decide already ?. Seriously though, if the NYG stay at 2 I just cannot see them taking a QB. It would be for Barkley/ Chubb and the Browns stay at 4 to grab the one left by the Gmen.
