Jarvis Jones in the second?

Rotoworld is saying that he'll likely fall to the 50's.. IF and I mean IF he's there and we find a way to move Anderson, would you look into it?

I know LB is the last thing we need next to QB and RB but... the guy was projected as a top 3 pick earlier in the season. I know we've dire needs at CB, DT, OT/G, and WR (maybe even S) but say we do nab Patterson, Milliner, Warmack, or any of the DTs, would you guys consider the idea of taking Jones?

Yes you take him.

You can't be sure that LB is a strength with Beason coming off injuries and TD being TD. It's a miracle he played last season, and there is a very real chance that both he and Beason could break down again.

Obviously it is hard to justify a LB in the 2nd with the names already on the roster and so many other holes to fill, but I would in no way hate the pick.

How many times have the Giants taken a defensive lineman in the last 10 years when it didn't seem like they needed to? Gettleman had to have learned something by that. Putting a talent like Jones next to Keuchly for the next decade seems like a no-brainer.

I would be nice to have a Von Miller type beside Luke.

You cannot always go the "safe" route and have to take chances but Jones is too big of one. You just don't know how long he's going to play. People tried making a deal out of the doctors approving him to play but that was never in doubt. Jones is a great player but that injury could spike up at anytime.

I wouldn't be bothered if we took him in the 2nd. Like I said, he is a great player and if healthy, I think he'd have went in the top ten. But if there are other guys on the board who have good tape, I'd take them over Jones. His injury is too serious.

if he fell that far, it might be interesting - gives a guy for the 3-4 set and he's a good player/rusher. But, other than that, and the chance he'd rush outside and push Hardy back in, that's about it. I know that some teams (SEA, SF) have made a killing on a first round situational player, but they don't have two ends that are 275+. Feels like the team needs a fulltime player that doesn't have a big concern that drops him a round, moreso than getting a tiny bit more value for 20-25 snaps and a possible mis-fit in the system.

    • We offered him $25k signing bonus and $225 guaranteed (including bonus) to sign as a UDFA. By making the team and doing well because he joined a team where he could, get this, start some and get almost 500 yards, guess how much he made in just 2024 and 2025? Over $1.7M. So, you really think he went for the most UDFA money or a place where the WR corps would allow him to make an NFL team and earn 8 times the UDFA money in his first two years and potentially cement himself for an even bigger payday of 2026 and beyond. Hmm, I wonder. I think seeing as he was the only UDFA RB, TE or WR to have over 158 yards (didn’t pay to see more stats muse, could have been even lower), he made the right choice on where to go to maximize earnings. Sorry again, but if you really think UDFAs and their agents prefer the small bonus/UDFA guarantee and don’t think about the easiest place to make the team, you’re wrong again. The $$$ you get just by making the team is way more and could get you multiple years. Choose a team you can’t make and your career can be over in one offseason.
    • And that is actually the concern. Great qbs put together FULL seasons of good ball. There is no benching to clear your head or taking a break. Are we gonna get a full season of good play this year?  It's really not hard to understand.
