I think we have to go QB. Even a round one rookie olineman is going to have minimal impact at this point. We will likely look to shed deadweight and bring in a couple vets for the line. As for which quarterback I'll just let the chips fall where they may and just say if the huddle hates a prospect you can usually expect the opposite.

Between Pickett, Willis, Cross, Linderbaum, Neal, Ekwonu, and Hamilton the team has the potential to at least make this first round selection count.

Big fan of the top 3 DEs as well, but hopefully they get taken before Carolina picks so that it ensures they take OL or QB. I wouldn't be mad at Hamilton, tho it would be the least efficient use of the pick imo.

Kenny Pickett is what you would ask for in a first round QB. He has the traits this team has been lacking since prime Cam.

1. Prototype Size
2. Agile and Good speed
3. Accuracy outside of the pocket
4. Deep ball strength and accuracy 
5. Accurate on the run 

6. Not careless with the football

 

Ive been watching videos on the kid to see what about his game I don't like, and he definitely has the potential to be a solid QB in the league. We will see after combine and interviews though.

I think he will be gone before our pick. He seems to be the top QB and the Lions or Giants could use him. Giants will probably bring in a new coach who will want a new QB, Lions could use a rookie to learn behind Goff for a couple games. 

We will know Daniel Jones' fate this offseason. The giants have to determine whether or not they are picking up his 5th year option. I dont see the Giants going QB because they have bigger gaps elsewhere:

1. OL
2. DL
3. Secondary

 

With the way the current draft order is looking, the Giants will have the opp to take the best OL on the board, and one of the top 3 DL on the board. I doubt they pass on that opportunity.

      It may not be exact science and this FO is relatively new, but it is very much likely the first couple picks will be of players we met.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
