Welcome back to "2 Giant Goofballs: A NY Giants Podcast"! In today's episode, we're diving deep into all the trade options for the New York Giants in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. With the draft approaching, the Giants have several paths they could take to address their quarterback and wide receiver needs. Join us as we explore various trade scenarios and discuss the potential impact on the team's future.Moving Up for a Top QB:First up, we analyze the possibility of the Giants trading up from their 6th overall pick to secure one of the top three quarterbacks in the draft: Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, or Drake Maye. We weigh the potential benefits of acquiring a franchise quarterback against the cost of trading up and sacrificing future draft capital.Trading Back for Extra Picks:Next, we discuss the option of trading back from the 6th pick to a mid-first-round selection to accumulate additional draft picks. While this strategy may lower the Giants' chances of their preferred quarterback of tier 2 whether it be JJ McCarthy, Michael Penix Jr or Bo Nix, it could provide valuable assets for building depth across the roster. We evaluate potential trade partners and the impact on the team's draft strategy.Drafting a Top WR at 6 & Trading Back up into the Middle of the 1st Round:In another scenario, we consider the possibility of the Giants selecting one of the top three wide receivers – Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, or Rome Odunze – with the 6th pick. We then explore the idea of trading up into the middle of the first round to also secure a second-tier quarterback. This strategy aims to bolster the team's receiving corps while still addressing the quarterback position.Selecting a WR at 6 and trading back into the end of the 1st for a QB:Lastly, we examine a scenario where the Giants opt to draft one of the top wide receivers with the 3rd overall pick. If a quarterback they covet remains available at the end of the first round, we discuss the feasibility of trading back into the latter part of the round to secure their future signal-caller.Staying Put: Alternatively, the Giants may opt to stay put at the 6th overall pick and see how the draft unfolds. In this scenario, they would keep their options open and let the board dictate their selection. By staying at their original spot, the Giants have the opportunity to evaluate all available prospects, including quarterbacks, wide receivers, and other positions of need. This approach allows them to potentially land a top-tier talent without sacrificing additional draft capital in trades. However, it also comes with the risk of missing out on targeted players if they are selected earlier in the draft. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of staying put and analyze the potential impact on the team's long-term goals.Conclusion:As the draft draws near, the New York Giants face critical decisions that could shape the franchise for years to come. Join us next time as we continue to analyze the team's draft strategy and provide insights into the latest developments leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft.
