Giants have no 3rd round pick, 4,5,and three early round 6 picks
Would you Trade
#17, #50, and both 4ths
For
#5 overall & Thibby + 6th
- Yes
- No
We get
the best LT in the draft
Thibby
Still have 5 darts to throw on day 3

Giants would never do that.
Yeah there’s no way they would do that
Thibodeux isn’t a serious player.
Agree, but the thought of him for a 1 year rental in a contract year …getting a comp pick next free agency.
Chargers just did it with Oweh, Eagles did it with Phillips., got him for a rental via trade then a 3rd round comp pick
We should be fleecing the Jets while AG is still there. Barnes and Arnold.
I don’t think a new regime in New York starts out by trying to convince the fan base that trading back off of an impact level player to add pics is a confidence builder in their own ability to do the job.
Plus sell low on a former top 10 pick even though yeah I get it he probably should be sold low on.. yeah that’s not how it’s going to go

Pass… If Thibodeaux is available for a 4th, you’re trading 17, 50 and another 4th to move up 12 spots… I’d rather keep 50, trade both 4ths and move up to 13 for Freeling if he’s there. Otherwise my preference is to trade down 5-10 spots, pick up a 3rd and draft Iheanachor/Miller
I think in a weak draft like this one you’d be crazy not to take a trade up into the top of the draft before the talent falls off with a low price like that. Brad is usually the one getting fleeced on the trade ups.
He would cost $15 million on his 5th year option with no way of deferring the cap hit. I would say there’s plenty of better ways to spend $15 million, and there’s no guarantee he plays well enough to earn a contract that gets us the comp pick.
We’d also be giving up two picks that are quite precious now that the middle class of the roster is being thinned out because of cap pressures. We’ve lost Amik, Lopez, AQM and Anzalone on defense, whose contracts probably add up to around Thibodeaux’s cap number, we need all the picks we can use in the first 4 rounds to try and fill out that middle class because top heavy rosters don’t win shit.
I’d rather see Brad and Jack Fox just go kick New York’s ass and take all their picks.

so our #17 and 118# and 128# for the Rams #13?? Terrible value trade, 2687 vs 1700 pts
TO move up 4 spots it should only take our 118, not both 4ths
But I do like your idea of trading down and just picking up Miller somewhere around 22-25
Where are you getting your numbers from?
#13 = 1150
#17 + #118 + #128 = 1052
I doubt the Rams would accept that trade as I believe there’d be better offers on the table.
OTC has a cool trade calculator where you can also include players
They use the Fitzgerald-Spielberger point system
So if I’m reading that right, the calculations include player salary and position? That’s not how any team figures pick value as far as I know… The Jimmy Johnson chart does not agree at all
the calculations include player salary and position
Only if you are trading a player as part of the deal but it does look at rookie contract value
The Jimmy Johnson chart does not agree at all
Very outdated
There’s like 3 others the league uses now
Fitzgerald-Spielberger point system
Here is a good explanation and @Jman is correct, the JJ system is from 1991 and has been or being replaced by these
The Fitzgerald-Spielberger (FS) chart modernizes NFL draft pick valuation by focusing on rookie contract surplus value and on-field production (approximate value) to prioritize mid-round picks, while the Jimmy Johnson (JJ) system, created in 1991, heavily overvalues top-10 picks and is based on historical trade sentiment rather than current statistical analysis
