    Hopefully this isn't just smoke. This would be rather odd, considering he is a Jets fan, if the Giants were not selecting him.

    This seems like its a lock the Jets will have a shot at Darnold or Rosen. If the Browns go Allen (praying) then we might have our choice of both. Maybe the Giants have been in communication with the Browns and know who they will be selecting.

    Macs move is looking better by the minute.

    Have there been any examples of players openly repping a team (that they are personally not a fan of) around draft time and said team not selecting that player?

    rumor is the only QB the giants would take is darnold at 2 and if he's not there it's chubb or barkley. I'm leaning towards barkely for them it makes more sense to me

    1- Josh Allen
    2- Saquon Barkley
    3- Sam Darnold?

    Have a hard time believing both Browns and Giants pass on Darnold.

    The Giants probably know that Darnold is the pick. My money would be on us choosing between Rosen and Mayfield. Do we pass up Mayfield for Rosen? That will be interesting. I would personally rather have Rosen, but I wouldn't cry over Mayfield.

    I'm not gonna read too much into this. But, Barkley being selected by the Giants is not out of the question. We'll find out in 2 short(or long :p) weeks.

    Darnold looked tremendous in 2016, but I don’t know how anyone can watch the USC vs UCLA game and think that Darnold is a better prospect than Rosen.

    Also didn’t Barkley visit the Giants recently? They probably give every kid that visits them or they workout some team branded gear.

    you draft for the future. rosen will be a better QB then darnold in the NFL in 2018 and maybe even 2019, but what about 2020 and the 10 years after that? Rosen is a better QB right now then any other in the draft, but darnold has the potential to be better then everyone in the class in a few years. Lets not forget darnold is only 20 years old. He could sit for 3 years in the NFL and still only be mayfields age by the time he finally plays

    Rosen is also very young. What’s your point?

    Rosen is wise beyond his years and more polished. he's a rare exception. I'd love to have rosen as a jet, i'm just saying darnold will likely have the better career overall, but rosen will have the better start.

    This is the Giants fucking with the Jets so they don't trade up to #1.

    Possible, but Darnold is more likely to bust with his throwing motion. It's not as if Rosen has a much lower ceiling than Darnold either.

    There is NO WAY the fans would allow whoever is drafted to sit for 3 years.

    Phillip Rivers was trashed for the first 5 years of his career for his throwing motion. He still has the same throwing motion.

    If Barkley wearing this and not getting drafted by the Giants.............. please disregard my thoughts on selecting him over Rosen if Allen and Darnold are gone.
