Less a response to where you think Maye is going (I sort of assumed he would be #2 overall). Just that the calculus completely changes if Williams is no longer in the mix.

If Caleb doesn't declare, we will miss out on our opportunity to draft Maye.

Agreed. Hard pass. I still want him to come out this year so Maye drops to us, though.

Basically, you want a Trey Lance-like haul. It will depend if the value chart merits it depending on who trades up. For the record, I'm leaning towards getting as many picks as possible in a trade down scenario, rolling with Howell for one more season, and then using the draft capital to move up in 2025 if he's not our guy. I know I sound crazy based on how the season ended, but the coaching/OL issues were just so bad for him that I have a hard time not thinking that had a lot to do with his unravelling as the season progressed.

Harris is very strategic.

I like how all of these interviews are happening in the next couple of days. This ownership group isn't wasting any time.

Does it matter that Peters isn't interviewing for a coaching position?

For once, I'd like us to take the less "sexy" route and take young, hungry talent rather than a big name guy - even if he's got a good track record.

Good. I don't want him or Belichick here.

Yeah, I mean, don't we need to fire those characters before we hire a new GM?

Amen!

Almost as important, they netted us two new draft picks. So it's a win-win.

HUGE!!

I think we could still take a great prospect and/or trade down from that position. Not bad.

What makes you say that?

What's interesting about the Giants is that once Saquon walks in free agency, they really don't have much offensive talent at all besides Darren Waller (who is usually injured for 50% of any given season). If they opt to replace Daniel Jones, they are committing to a full rebuild of the offense, I think.

You've been making some very good points here and to an extent, I agree with you. However, I think continuing to talk about Howell being benched 3 times doesn't acknowledge the horrible OL he was forced to deal with all season, the terrible head coaching, etc. At this point, I've moved on from thinking he's "our guy", but I still don't think we know what he's capable of since we really didn't put him in a position to succeed this year. Unfortunately, that will be another team's job to find out. And for the record, he is in no way close to being the bust that Wilson or Rosen is. Not by a country mile.

I think it will still depend on all of the other games but I read somewhere that we would be in the neighborhood of the 7-9th pick.

All good points about the Giants (I didn't realize that either). But to be honest, I'm still nervous about us, NE, and NO taking care of business just to make sure we get our 2nd overall pick.

That's very disappointing to hear. If we go that route, I'm afraid I'll be done with this team. Will demonstrate that Harris is just Snyder in different clothing.

Unfortunately, that's never going to happen even with the best of GMs.

As long as we lose out, we will pick before New England.

Given that Allen has likely been playing with plantar fasciitis all year, I actually think this wouldn't be that crazy an idea.

Where do you see Cedrick Gray going in the draft? I think our LBs need an overhaul but worry about spending too high a draft pick to do it.
