It's abundantly clear that this team needs

a. More 30g scorers
b. More depth scoring
c. Both

Tony Pauline Has Heard the Bills & NYG Have a Trade Blue Print in Place...


And we have news

I'm all about a QB, but if Darnold is the only guy they feel is worth it a trade down is best.

But look at how many times that burned Cleveland.

After all the moves they made to trade up I don't think trading down is in their best interest either.

I would rather them stay at 12 and draft a WR or LB and then take a QB at 22 over trading down again

They could stay at 22, but trade down from 12
Get an extra 1st for next year
Still draft LB Evans & QB Rudolph

Something like that

That's possible, as well. This draft is a head scratcher nobody knows what is going to happen as far as the QBs are concerned

I can't believe they are possibly going to take Allen.

They regret passing on Wentz so much that they are going to take a lesser version of him

They were never in a position to draft Wentz so I am confused by what you mean there, unless you mean they regret not moving up for him

It's remarkable how much I agree with Hamilton lately.

"Trading Larsson and Girgensons isn't going to get it done"

Also put Ristolainen at the top of the list of guys who he thinks aren't following coaches instructions.

It's going to be interesting

I mean I won't wussy out if this never becomes true but I believe he is the best QB in this draft class. Not even Andrew Luck could have had success with what he had to work with at Wyoming.

If it doesn't work out I would not be surprised if the Broncos move back from 5. For 12, 22, and one of your thirds. 3 starters for the price of 1.

Be sure to tune in to WGR for classic caller comments about how Punch Imlach wouldn't stand for this or why don't we go out there and "get" a player like Sidney Crosby or Patrick Kane?

I'm talking as a Giants fan. If the Giants only see Darnold as the only solid QB out of this draft, of note I don't believe they REALLY think that, then they should trade back.

However, the Browns have traded back many times and missed out on good QB's. I don't want the Giants to do that.
