Not so fast buddy.

Either way, he won't last until 9. We will not get Chubb unless we trade up, bud.

He'll be a great player but you either take a bounty to move down from #2 if you're not taking QB or you take the QB...

Yeah this.

Everyone's assuming they're taking Chubb but I think it's an overreaction to the trade. If anything this is just another sign that they're leaning towards a rebuild.

Sure there's a possibility they take Chubb but there's a possibility they take Barkley, too. And that's just as likely, IMO.

Hyde is basically on a 1 yr deal and as of now duke is a FA in a yr.

They can go in a ton of different directions, I don't see Barkley out of the picture either.

1. Johnson and Cleveland are working on an extension.

2. Every running back is basically on a one year deal. Doesn't mean the plan is to cut him in a year.

So why draft a RB early when you dont need to do it?

To hopefully upgrade? Hyde hasn't proven to be the most durable and has yet to reach 1000 yards.

Welp there goes that.
Yep, as much as I'm hoping they choose a QB due to Eli's age, I think they are going defense because they think Eli has some gas left. Just a guess, but *They* being ownership most likely, vs the coaching staff.
Giants will trade down to Denver at 5 just in front of the Colts to take Chubb.

That spot would be just beyond JPP's ability to count on one hand. That's right, I'll be here all night. Make sure to tip your waitresses.
I can actually make a case for Chubb to be available at #9 now, I still think he goes to the Colts at 6, but they could go in many directions including another trade down.

I couldn't see him possibly getting passed the Bucs, but now they have JPP and Curry I could see them going to their secondary or maybe even Nelson.

Going to be some draft.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think Chubb falls further than the Colts at #6, sadly.
I think the Colts will either trade down or take Nelson if he's there. It would cost us our 2nd and our 1st to move up to the 6th spot at least but if Chubb is there and the colts are willing I say pull the trigger.

Because they plan to take a QB at one. No guarantee Barkley is still there at 4 and they may be offered a deal to good to pass up at 4 if he is there.

He offers them insurance but his contract structure also makes it clear that he will not prevent them from taking Barkley or another back in rounds 2 or 3. They have discussed a new deal with Duke but reports from Silver were that the two sides were far apart.

They don't need to draft a RB like Barkley but he has the potential to be better than both Carlos and Duke combined. When you put him in an offense with Gordon and Landry, you give opposing DC's a headache. It also makes Cleveland that much more appealing if Jackson gets axed after this season.

Barkley also helps sell a ton of tickets and merchandise and gives the fanbase something to truly be excited about. And when you consider how much a dynamic back like that can help Taylor in the short term and whichever QB drafted at #1 in the longterm, it has plenty of appeal to Dorsey. It becomes a win win all around for the franchise.

I certainly hope that we can trade up if Chubb drops past the 6th pick. I don't think she would hate anybody at that point.
Why does everyone on WZ want Chubb when he really isn't a top tier pass rusher. He's pretty average in that regard. Strong against the run though.
