I was thinking about this after losing out on chase young in all likelihood. Picking 4th, or maybe 3rd if the lions or redskins somehow find a way to win could have some serious upside. This will be the first year the giants have picked in the top 5 while already having a qb in place for the future. The trade down scenario looks especially promising with 3 teams who have multiple 1st rounders behind them vying for the rights to draft one of two quarterbacks (tua and herbert). An adept negotiator should be able to leverage the dolphins, jaguars and raiders to outbid each other for those rights.
An ideal scenario is the giants have high grades on four ot's they are targeting in Thomas, wills and wirfs and jackson. If that happens I could see the giants
A) moving down to 5, drafting andrew thomas and receiving the 25th overall as well
B) moving down to 8 with the jags, grabbing a wirfs and the 20th overall along with their 3rd rounder
C) moving down to 14 and grabbing wills or jackson and the raiders 16th pick along with a late round pick to sweeten the deal
D) in a madden simulation like scenario doing A then B or C if the offseason hype machine on Herbert gets rolling
All of these scenarios are overpays according to the charts, but the charts dont mean much when teams are moving up to grab their perceived franchise qb.
It stinks to miss out on young but an adept gm should, in this particular year especially, be able to create great value out of the draft from the 3 or 4 slot
