How would you feel if the Giants trade down?

They should have to be blown away by an offer.  Like we're talking a significant over pay the point of making it impossible to turn down.  In my opinion there are 3 standout players in this draft and the Giants sit at 3rd.  They're getting one of them as long as their not completely idiotic about this.  Look at it this way, if they had Hunter or Carter on the team right now what would it cost to trade one of them away?  Probably a whole hell of a lot right?  That's what they would be doing so they had damn sure better be getting a large overpay from a stupid franchise.  Jags/Raiders/Jets all certainly qualify as stupid franchises so perhaps they are the ones pushing to move up?

How would I feel??

It depends on the offer. And I wouldn't drop down past the 15th pick or so, and I better get a boatload of day two picks and next year's first

If it's to drop down one pick to New England (who'd be targeting Carter I suspect), I want this year's 1st, 2nd and 3rd and next year's 2nd. Then I'd draft Graham, which might make an even more devastating defensive line than the addition of Carter

It all comes down to the offer. It would have to be lopsided in favor of the Giants

As long as they get great value, I am open to it.

Better than I'd feel if they traded up.  And if they do trade down I'd like to see them get significant 2026 draft capital.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.

It would have to be a "what the heck are the Saints thinking?" type of offer.  I am talking Ditka giving up the entire draft for Ricky Williams type stupidity.

As Gmo stated, there are 3 players who are head and shoulders above everyone else.  I would want 9, 40, 71, and their first next year.

I would also have to consider where Carter and Hunter stand historically against other top prospects?  If I am giving up one them, what are the chances I will have an opportunity to select someone as good next year?    Simply picking up a 1st next year doesn't do it for me on its own.  If they wind up with two picks 15 or later, it is a lot different than a top 5 and a top 10.

To get a sense, I traded down and ran a mock draft

It depends entirely on what they get back and who they draft. No issue in principle. Probably in favour if they can get a 2026 1.
If you live your life as a pessimist you never really live your life at all.

I would prefer they trade down if Abdul Carter is not there. Not a fan of Travis Hunter or Sanders or anyone else at 3.

I have a bad taste left from the trade down that got us Toney! So, I would not like it. Just take the blue chipper in Carter.
Ain't nothing to it but to do it!

Make the Sanders pick Tyler Warren, Graham, or Jeanty and I like that draft. There are a handful of players that have a chance to he truly elite outside hunter/Carter and Graham, Jeanty, and Warren are a couple of those guys.

I will confess, I could see Jeanty having a big impact on the team if he were acquired (especially if the Giants draft a good starting guard).

Would be incredibly foolish unless you have a plan and get a kings ransom and I don't think anyone is paying a kings ransom in this draft.
