Draft Day Shocker: Giants take Ashton Jeanty with their first pick

[BringBackFergy]

I could see Joe Schoen trading down slightly from Pick #3, maybe down the the 8 - 11 spot, get some nice draft capital to acquire more players and take Ashton Jeanty at the 8 - 11 spot. They're kicking themselves for letting Saquon walk last year. This gives them a generational talent at RB and more draft capital to move back up and take a rookie QB to develop if they desire.

I mean nothing is impossible but also it seems he's a lock to get taken by the Raiders at 6.

[Gregg]

Rich Cimini who covers the Jets is saying they are open to trading Hall if Jeanty is there at #7.

There are two blue chip prospects in this draft, three if you want to include Ward (though I wouldn’t). Cleveland and the Giants are going to draft them unless a team gets crazy with their trade offer.

I’ve been saying once you get beyond Hunter/Carter…..Jeanty is probably the next best player and combine that with a very weak top of class and the return of the RB per say and it wouldn’t surprise me if either the Pats/ Jags pull the trigger and Hampton also goes top 10

It would be so Giants to pass on QBs for RBs in the top 10 for the second time in 7 years and wonder why they suck so bad. 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

I would go QB, maybe take a shot at Sanders if he's there.

 

Wilson is only there for 1 year.

Isn't this supposed to be a weak draft class for QBs?

I think there are three. The third is Jeanty.

Yea obviously DE and CB/WR have higher position tariffs and so they do have that separation but Jeanty is a stud prospect.

He’ll be so elite when he signs with a good team in 5 years time imo

[Logic]

I think the Giants are locked on to either Carter or Hunter, whichever is there when they pick.

If you could just please not say "tariffs" right now, that would be splendid.

Well they won't get Jeanty if they do because he will be a Raider at 6...just cant see anyway Jeanty gets passed the Raiders at this point.

Highly doubt it considering it would only bring up Schoen &  company's utter dismal failure of retaining Saquon Barkley only to go to

fellow conference competitor and turn into Offensive player of the years and a Super Bowl Champion.

Letting highly drafted RBs walk just to immediately use more high draft resources on replacing said RB is definitely something loser teams (Jets/Giants) would do.

 

Hint, hint

I can't see Daboll/Schoen letting their Giants' career counting on Russell Wilson/Jamesis Winston as their QB. Take Sanders and don't look back.

If I were Dabol/schoen, I would be hesitant to open the crack for Deon Sanders to the giants next HC if they have another bad season.  Both Sanders in New York would be must see TV. 

 

Even though I am not a big Sanders fan (he has limited size and arm strength), he is accurate and would be a big fan draw.

I opened this thread hoping you were a time traveler and came back from the future to tell us. 

 

Needless to say, I am disappointed.

Barkley averaged 3.9ypc in 2023 behind their o-line.  Have to build the trenches first.
