The New York Giants are open to maneuvering within the 2024 NFL draft and not too long ago, Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports activities reported that they might contemplate a “blockbuster” deal to maneuver up for quarterback Drake Maye.
Particularly, Vacchiano says, they might look to commerce with the New England Patriots, who maintain the No. 3 general choose.
He’s the prospect who might most entice the Giants to make a blockbuster transfer up from No. 6, in line with a number of NFL sources acquainted with the Giants’ pondering. With USC’s Caleb Williams nearly sure to be taken by the Chicago Bears at No. 1, the 21-year-old Maye is believed by many across the NFL to be the subsequent quarterback on the Giants’ record.
Actually, one league supply stated he believes that if Maye in some way will get previous the Washington Commanders at No. 2 — which is much from a certainty — the Giants would contemplate making an aggressive provide to the New England Patriots to maneuver up from No. 6 to No. 3 to draft him. It’s not clear if New York could be prepared to do the identical for LSU’s Jayden Daniels or Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy, the opposite two high quarterbacks more likely to be out there at that spot.
The Patriots have been the main target of a lot hypothesis in current weeks with a number of analysts suggesting they might commerce down regardless of their very own want for a quarterback.
Tom Curran of NBC Sports activities Boston stories that if the Patriots do choose to commerce down, the value to take their spot will likely be steep. And we’re not simply speaking barely improved worth based mostly on the NFL worth commerce chart however slightly, an astronomically one-sided haul.
“What sort of forex do the Patriots must see coming to them? I preserve circling again to it’s acquired to be three first-round picks,” Curran stated this week. “From what I’m listening to, it’s going to take much more than that for the Patriots to be moved off their spot as a result of they as a crew, collectively, perceive the chance that these three quarterbacks symbolize on the high of the draft.”
Curran was particularly speaking about what the Patriots would need from the Minnesota Vikings, who’ve an extended climb to No. 3 than the Giants. Nevertheless, if that’s what they’re searching for to maneuver again, they aren’t probably to present New York a significantly better deal.
For skeptics, the preliminary response to this will likely be, “Effectively, you’ll be able to hope for absolutely anything however…”
That’s an comprehensible prompt response however it’s made with the belief that the Patriots really feel they have to commerce again. They don’t. They’re able to seize a high quarterback and begin contemporary and are below no stress to accommodate another crew.
In the end, if Curran’s reporting is correct, that basically costs the Giants out of any trade-up with New England.
