Big Blue Huddle

Not for nothing but the Giants passed on him in the 6th round taking the LB Muasau.  I doubt very much that a game in what was probably garbage time would change their thinking into a 3rd round pick

Yes they passed on Milton but teams, especially in late rounds, make mistakes all the time.  You don't think they'd reconsider it?

I agree.  Same feel for the OG that we passed on in the 6th round and KC took in another year.  I'm sure they regret those & many more.  I just think that they won't give up a 3 for Milton

You may be right.  Actually you are probably right. 

Trey Smith the Guard still pisses me off.  A darn good starter for a 6th?

Does Joe Schoen (or Daboll) strike you as guys who are quick to admit a mistake?

Still waiting for them to admit it for Evan Neal.

Can you name a GM or coach who admitted they made a mistake drafting a player who was still on the team?

Whether it Joe Milton, Kirk Cousins or Elmer Fudd, this team cannot afford to give up draft picks . So, sign Flacco, Winston , Wilson or even Rodgers where we do not have to give up draft picks . Certainly , DO NOT GIVE UP DRAFT PICKS TO MOVE UP TO NUMBER 1 !!! ( Emphasis added )

Exactly.  Drafting a QB is giving up 1 pick unless Giants trade up which almost everyone here does not want.  Trade for Milton and give up exactly 1 pick.  Same thing.  Now you have a QB with some NFL experience for a 3rd round pick or maybe a 4th round pick.  Now you have rest of the Draft to build talent on team.  Imagine this:

Round 1 - Travis Hunter - WR/CB
Round 2 - Donovan Jackson - G
Round 3 - Darius Alexander - DT
Round 3 - Traded for Joe Milton - QB
Round 4 - Ozzy Trapilo - OT
Round 5 - Jordan Phillips - DT/NT

After the trade for Milton, with a draft like above, you fortified your WR corps with two WR1 options, a much better OL with 1 and possibly 2 starters and pushed a starter down for depth, gotten your 3 tech DT who dominated at Senior Bowl plus a developmental NT in Phillips to be behind Dex.

No extra draft picks used.  If Milton does not successfully develop, you have a much better OL and weapons for a new QB such as a pick in 2026 draft.
