They identified 3 QBs worth trading to 3 for knowing at least one would be there. We have no idea what their draft board looks like. They could have 3 QBs rated close enough to choose between the 3 at the value. If they pick the right QB they are set for 5 to 7 years at the position. If they draft a bust, then it will go down as an epic fail, only made worse by the fact the released petty and hack w/o taking a snap. But the Jets were already drafting at #6 and just traded that and two #2's to move up. They are not trading two #1's, two #2's and /or next years first day pick.

I’m all for trading up to 2...are you willing to give up this draft and next to do so? Or are you the kind of guy who walks into a car dealership reeking of desperation? Are you in sales? I bet you give a ton of discounts. Sometimes they do fall on their backsides and sometimes they hit home runs. The guys who never take a shot, never hit home runs. And no, I'm not in sales and I bought my last new car with cash. You see, I could have taken a safe job out of college but instead, I took a shot, borrowed a lot and went to law school. It was risky but it paid off.

I wouldnt mind paying the giants 3 1st round picks and 4th round pick. At the end of the day just get a QB. The eagles and rams dont look like they regret trading up and they gave up a lot of draft capital. 1
