OT: Wonder if the Giants regret not ponying up that draft compensation for #3
25 comments
So what, we could roll out the Zappe/Nabers connection? Nothing is worth Drake Maye
Whatever team BB ends up coaching next season should sign him. I heard he can even flex to safety.
What did they offer? I don’t think wolf would have taken anything less than a Noah’s Arc
Daniel Jones actually wouldn’t be a bad back up QB for us given Drake Maye’s playing style
There is basically no offer that the Giants would’ve been able to swallow that would’ve gotten NE to move off #3 (which was something like 95% chance of Maye and 5% of Daniels). I mean offering *all* their draft picks for the next two years probably wouldn’t have been enough.
I’m glad they didn’t. Drake Maye has the potential of anyone. He’s the future.
They tried to
Good for us because if they pick before us they’ll take a QB and, if they pick behind us, we could trade back
I’m glad we don’t have the Mac Jones-MHJ timeline.
I thought this before the draft and even more so now. The only trade package worth taking for drake maye needs to include Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson.
I don’t think there’s any way we would’ve traded #3 tbh
The New York football teams are trash with bleak futures. The Celtics just won the championship, The Patriots found their young stud QB, the Sox are potentially building a superteam. Is nature healing?
This conversation AGAIN?
Kraft was NEVER going to let Wolf do anything besides take whatever quarterback out of Daniels and Maye fell to them at 3.
Kraft on March 26th of this year: “ As a fan, I put my fan hat on and I definitely would,” Kraft said. “In the end, you can’t win in this league consistently unless you have a first-rate quarterback and a first-rate coach.”
“In the end, I’ll let the team make the decision what they think is best. One way or another, I’d like to see us get a top-rate, young quarterback.”
**Real talk their offer was never good enough and no one else’s was for the 3rd overall pick**
Maye in most years of the draft either goes #1 or #2 even without what we know now.
The hardest part of the puzzle is Qb. Very rarely do you see a Qb at 3 that has everything you can want or need. Additionally, you never know where future picks can fall. Look at the league and it’s a down year. If someone wins a fluke game here or there they probably are rocketing up the draft board a bunch of spots.
I would have taken 6, their second, their next 5 first rounders, and the 2008 Superbowl… Oh and they acknowledge Eli does not belong in the HOF.
They could have just waited a year and had Justin Herbert or Jalen Hurts.
I’d actually consider bringing him here next year as a backup, since stylistically, he’s one of the closer matches in the league to Drake.
I think we didn’t want to trade down
And I hope we’d still refuse
Did you guys watch Hard Knocks?
Giants tried to give a massive deal for Drake Maye but Wolf wasn’t even interested in discussing it. They were willing to pony up whatever it took.
But the Patriots simply weren’t trading the pick once they realized Drake Maye was falling to 3.
What the Giants REALLY regret is beating the Patriots 10-7 last year in that Devito vs Zappe game when both our seasons were well past over. Had they lost that game they end up with the 4th pick (Arizona would be 3) and very likely end up with Drake Maye instead of us.
Patriots were never moving out unless it was a gigantic offer. No one is doing that for the “third” best quarterback in the draft.
They backed up the brinks truck for this guy and cut him 🤣. I was honestly shocked they even paid him to begin with.
I’m a Patriots fan/UNC fan. Maye was always my choice and I’m still so elated that it happened. I’m glad the team took him and didn’t let the Giants or Vikings fleece em.
We were not trading the pick. Period.
I doubt the pats would have ever actually traded the pick.
