When was there ever any declaration that Darnold wouldn’t slip past one or two? He was viewed as the top prospect but Cleveland taking another QB was always the topic of discussion, with Allen seemingly the favored choice if it wasn’t Darnold. The Giants were always mentioned in regards to Rosen, Barkley or even Chubbs, with the big question being would they take Rosen over Darnold if going QB. There was never a single consensus ever that if Darnold was available to the Giants they would take him. Your declaration is simply a straw man that doesn’t reflect any widespread opinion that was voiced about the 1 or 2 pick.
