Could we have obtained Dart without trading up?

This is the point that's getting over looked a lot. He's not playing this year. Not a snap. Unless something goes horribly wrong. So they're going into this burning a year of his rookie contract. If this was a LB it's no big deal for that 5th year but for a QB it's HUGE.

Even if you argue he wouldn't have been (there ARE good arguments), IMO it was only necessary get ahead of one team (the Browns) after the Steelers failed to draft a QB in the first round last night.

I'd have risked waiting -or- traded with the Titans for 32. In any event, the really good news is the powers-that-be must really believe in Dart, so I'm happy we have him. Just think we overpaid.

I honestly think the Main point of the trade was not necessarily to get Dart , but to get Dart with a 5th year option

With the benefit of the second round being underway, based on selections made and commentary on yesterday and today ; Ild say no.

Dart would have not been available at 34

Without accounting for on field play, this is looking more and more like a great move by the Giants

I think there is a lot of accuracy in this post.

This is definitely one of those topics people can debate for a while and both sides have valid points.

My guess is there were a few teams looking at Dart. It was him and then the separation and the rest.
