There’s obviously no guarantees...
But u want the best odds possible to get the best pick possible
It’s that simple

- jdfitz77



i dont dispute that, its just that the odds increase is so minimal that im not sure how much it really matters

I think people are going to be shocked at how skilled Mittelstadt is.

His vision is nuts. It's like Reinhart's, but he can actually skate and shoot

- sbroads24


I’m pumped to see him
I’m also got gonna be quick to get down on him if he doesn’t light it up right away

I’m interested to see if they play him at Center or on the wing

True, but a QB covers up a lot of bad things.
- Wetbandit1


Covers up for only so much though

Case in point Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson

I guess it matters if we win a pick,
and doesn’t if we miss out

I’d still rather have the best odds either way

I’d rather have Luck with holes to fill,
than filled holes & no QB

Especially in our situation...
we have all that Cap Room next year to help put a team around a QB

It also may be possible to trade up from 4 to 3. May not be able to trade into the top 3 from 6 for example

if the PP clicks again he'll definitely pick up points there
- Sabresfan-365


Does he take Okposo’s spot on PP1?
Maybe not right away

BREAKING: Odell Beckham being pursued by the LA Rams in a possible trade for the @Giants' dynamic wide receiver: sources


If the Giants trade him then they absolutely should draft a QB and go full rebuild

Cue Gerbe freaking out in 3, 2, 1...

$70 million with next to nobody signed, which is why this draft and all of those picks are even more important

The whole Watkins thing didn't work out so hot, this also probably makes Angry Bob Woods mad

If the Giants trade him they are completely dumb... I know Buffalo is trying to change a culture but man I would trade for the best WR in the league....

Matthew Stafford and that’s it

His antics aren't worth the investment in my opinion

All of those videos coming out, him acting all childish.

I just don't get it.

I know you’re against trading up...

But as long as we get our QB,
idc what it costs
You can’t pay too much for a true franchise QB

We are screwed if he’s a bust
But we also aren’t winning if we “fill the holes” and keep going 8-8ish

I’m ok if we don’t trade up too...
but we better have a freaking plan for QB then

They should send him to Dallas do a switch with Bryant

That’s my brother’s favorite player I hope it happens

The main reason I am against trading up is there isn't a clear cut must have can't miss guy.

I agree they better have a plan at QB and I think they have one. But we won't know what that is until the draft.

Let’s all be honest here he should get a new Contract and he should be paid the most of all the wide receivers in the league
