I actually like Penix a lot when just looking at the play on the field and would be totally fine with him as a top 10 pick if not for the injuries. But you just can't ignore that no matter how much you'd like to. He's one ACL tear away from having his career ended before it really even starts.
It's incredibly risky to take a guy like that so early in the draft when they could presumably get a bonafide stud at WR instead. A WR without those injury concerns. If they do love Penix I imagine they could move down in the draft given how good those WRs are and still get him later while also acquiring another high pick or two in the process.
I don't think the Giants would seriously take Penix at 6. That seems wildly unreasonable to me. But the part about them being desperate to come away with one of the QBs doesn't seem unreasonable at all. I just don't know if they'll be able to do it.
For what it's worth, again based strictly on the play on the field and nothing else, I like Penix a lot more than Maye. Maye just has all his original ACLs.
