Seems to me the Giants are already being stroked by Coach Prime for his QB son. This would be a terrible overreach. A trade up is a disaster..taking him at 3 would also be highly questionable. I don't like his game, his potential. Deion hopes the Raiders will make it a package deal as Coach/QB tandem. I love to have them trade up to 3..get a really nice package to rebuild.

Bottom line: Schoen can't be so foolish with franchise just to save his job. Desperation is a bad negotiating position and they Giants have to think long term rebuild..as many quality players they can get (the GM just touted his recent class etc,##), so why pay an enormous price for Sanders?

What's your preference for the Giants QB situation:

1) draft Sanders at 3
2) draft a qb in round 2
3) sign a FA qb
4) hope they lose most games in 2025 so they can draft a QB in 2026? 

Guys: if Sanders is there at number 3, the Giants will take him. They won't need to trade, and they won't trade down. They don't need to make any deals. They will simply take Sanders. Better get used to the idea now.

Getting Sanders without having to trade up would be just fine with me. I'm higher on Ward because of his ceiling but Sanders will be a perfectly fine FQB. I'm also fine with trading back and taking Carter and getting a guy like Dart in the 2nd or 3rd (doubt he makes it past 2nd). What I don't want to do is throw draft equity to move up one spot to get a guy we could have gotten easily before the meaningless with vs Indy.

Sanders is more NFL ready than Ward, but Ward has better physical gifts and overall potential I think.

I like them both and would be ok with either.

Sanders is not a mobile QB.  Our OL is not good and Thomas is always injured.  If we draft Sanders in round 1 we better be drafting an OT and G to start in 2-3.

Please dont say "before AT got injured the OL was ok."  It has never been good but only marginal.  Also he will get injured.  Book it.  We need two OL out of this draft.  Push starters to bench for better depth.

Rather than making statements like I want this guy and I don't like this guy, you should give relevant details why you would make such a statement.

2) draft a qb in round 2   AND also
3) sign a FA qb.

no qb in 25 draft is 1st round worthy.  2nd...Will Howard, OSU.  Sanders...NO!

What I like about Sanders is that despite not having a very good offensive line and being sacked 42 times this past season, he still performed well. Throwing for 4000+ yards, 37 TDs, and 10 INTs for a guy not considered to be mobile is just what the Giants need at QB. He doesn't get rattled and has a short memory.

Having not seen much college ball this season, and certainly none of Sanders and Ward, I get my information from the different posts on here.

Are there any current players that are decent comparisons to the two prospects? Opinions seem to be mixed on both.

This is the boat I feel like I am in.  I haven't seen enough of him to have any real opinion of his game.  I do know however that the team's current QB room will have to be upgraded via draft and FA this offseason and if Sanders checks enough boxes with Daboll and Schoen, they are going to take him if he is there at 3.

If we draft Sanders, then Josh Conerly, OLT from Oregon, is my preferred round 2 draft pick.  I saw him against Ohio State in the CFP and he neutralized Ohio State's entire right side Edge/DT.  He looked fabulous.  Moves so well and uses his arms and hands almost perfectly.

Read this writeup of Josh Conerly.

My choice is to sign a FA QB , maybe 2 , draft Mason Graham or Abdul Carter , Sign DJ Reed in FA , draft at least 2 OL and fire the scouts or scout  who suggested Josh Ezeudu, and Marcus McKethan

They will not have to trade down for him. He will be there for them if they want him.
