Sounds like pre-draft misdirection to me given the names offered up in the article. I'll be shocked if anyone other than Rosen goes to the Giants.
Seems unlikely. First, QB is still most likely. Second, if they don't go QB Barkley is such an obvious pick for a team with a terrible rushing attack (26th in rushing yards, 28th in rushing TDs, 22nd in rushing Y/A). Third, if they actually want Nelson they should obviously trade down with someone who wants Rosen or Darnold; they could easily get a first round draft pick this year or next year and still get Nelson. And no, I don't mean the Jets, since the Giants would have to be completely brain dead to allow the possibility that they gave the Jets a franchise (or even elite) QB and have to hear about it for the next 10 years.
Ha I'm HOPING Rosen goes to the Giants so I can watch their dysfunctional fireworks continue! Seriously I doubt they draft him. Darnold is more their speed, and I suspect the guy they want. On topic, I hope Nelson is in play for the Jets instead.
Unless they sign FA RB Carlos Hyde and then go Nelson with 2nd pick. I believe they might give Davis Webb a chance to be the backup this year with the opportunity to learn from Eli and possibly become future QB of the Giants. Just a thought.
I don’t think considering two of whom are widely considered to be the two best players in the draft as well as the best QB in the draft is earth shattering news or even surprising news.
Anything is possible, but I don't think Nelson is going No. 2 overall. If the Giants trade back then, yeah. The most obvious choices for the Giants are to either draft a quarterback, draft Barkley, or trade back. Nothing else really makes much sense.
