I can't see the Giants not selecting Justin Herbert.

I don't know if any of the QBs are top ten worthy. I agree they need a QB. But they won't force it. They really really need oline and there are about 3-4 guys that could be in the top 15 for LT.

Obviously without seeing the specifics of any deal I can’t fully say, but I find this general idea absurd. Not saying Ballard wouldn’t do it, but that it makes absolutely no sense to me after staying put and drafting Nelson at 6 last year. You don’t then trade down the next draft when elite level players at impact positions are available. I don’t see how you can justify passing on Oliver or Bosa for more picks when you refused to do it with Nelson (a guard) at 6. Unless someone offers a Ricky Williams type deal of course.

Disagree. Ballard showed last year he is all about the lines. This DL class is loaded. If Ballard has a Top 5 pick, he will stay put and get Bosa or Oliver.

This exactly. He had the opportunity to cash the Nelson pick in for 12 and 22, and turned it down. Ballard values the lines and impact players. A top 5 pick will mean Bosa or Oliver.

This is what would happen, but this whole discussion is moot. The Colts won't be drafting Top 5.

As for trading down, depends on the trades available.
Fair enough, and I never labeled him a bust. How high he was drafted and his hype coming in tend to make (at least me) ask WTF when I do see him get blown up. I'm sure a full off season in an NFL weight room and more work on technique will remedy this.

I do hope though, that if we end up drafting at/near the top again that we use it on a more impactful player/position.

What teams do you think are a lock to finish w/fewer wins?

My list is AZ, SF, NYG, OAK, maybe BUF, maybe CLE.

They will if they keep playing like they did yesterday.
