The New York Giants are open to maneuvering within the 2024 NFL draft and not too long ago, Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports activities reported that they may consider a “blockbuster” deal to move up for quarterback Drake Maye.
Particularly, Vacchiano says, they might look to commerce with the New England Patriots, who maintain the No. 3 general decide.
He’s the prospect who might most entice the Giants to make a blockbuster transfer up from No. 6, in accordance with a number of NFL sources accustomed to the Giants’ considering. With USC’s Caleb Williams nearly sure to be taken by the Chicago Bears at No. 1, the 21-year-old Maye is believed by many across the NFL to be the following quarterback on the Giants’ listing.
In actual fact, one league supply mentioned he believes that if Maye someway will get previous the Washington Commanders at No. 2 — which is much from a certainty — the Giants would think about making an aggressive supply to the New England Patriots to maneuver up from No. 6 to No. 3 to draft him. It’s not clear if New York can be keen to do the identical for LSU’s Jayden Daniels or Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy, the opposite two high quarterbacks prone to be accessible at that spot.
The Patriots have been the main target of a lot hypothesis in current weeks with a number of analysts suggesting they may commerce down regardless of their very own want for a quarterback.
Tom Curran of NBC Sports activities Boston studies that if the Patriots do decide to commerce down, the worth to take their spot might be steep. And we’re not simply speaking barely improved worth primarily based on the NFL worth commerce chart however slightly, an astronomically one-sided haul.
“What sort of forex do the Patriots must see coming to them? I maintain circling again to it’s obtained to be three first-round picks,” Curran mentioned this week. “From what I’m listening to, it’s going to take much more than that for the Patriots to be moved off their spot as a result of they as a workforce, collectively, perceive the chance that these three quarterbacks characterize on the high of the draft.”
Curran was particularly speaking about what the Patriots would need from the Minnesota Vikings, who’ve an extended climb to No. 3 than the Giants. Nevertheless, if that’s what they’re in search of to maneuver again, they aren’t possible to present New York a significantly better deal.
For skeptics, the preliminary response to this might be, “Properly, you possibly can hope for absolutely anything however…”
That’s an comprehensible instantaneous response but it surely’s made with the belief that the Patriots really feel they have to commerce again. They don’t. They’re ready to seize a high quarterback and begin contemporary and are below no stress to accommodate another workforce.
In the end, if Curran’s reporting is correct, that basically costs the Giants out of any trade-up with New England.
