I haven’t once thought we should consider trading Waddle this offseason but I must say that is definitely an intriguing scenario……
I still don’t think I’d accept that offer but it definitely would have me thinking. I wouldn’t decline that offer and hang up the phone tho…. If the Giants offered us a trade like that then I would definitely give them a counter offer to see if I could sweeten up the package….
My counter would look something like this……..
Waddle
1st Round (21st Overall)
5th Round (157th Overall)
FOR
1st Round (6th Overall)
2nd Round (39th Overall)
2nd Round (47th Overall)
3rd Round (70th Overall)
The Giants get a proven player like Waddle while also being able to draft someone in the 1st round (21st overall).
We get back a potential generational TE that’s unproven while also loading up on several picks that’s in the top 70.
Majority of our fan base already wants to trade down to add picks so if a scenario came up like this then the Giants would have to help make that happen too.
If they accepted a counter like that, we would then have 5 picks in the first two days of the draft and 1 of those picks would be the 6th overall…..
Our draft could potentially look like this……
1st Round (6th Overall): Brock Bowers
2nd Round (39th Overall): JPJ
2nd Round (47th Overall): Xavier Worthy
2nd Round (55th Overall): Edgerrin Cooper
3rd Round (70th Overall): Roman Wilson
6th Round (186th Overall): BPA
6th Round (200th Overall): BPA
7th Round (239th Overall): BPA
We’d be able to land a TE that we desperately need. A center that we desperately need. A potential starting LB that we need. As well as 2 top 20 WRs since WR would be a big need after moving Waddle.
All that is definitively not happening tho. Even the initial trade suggestion with Waddle for the 6th overall pick straight up. It’s still fun to brainstorm potential ways to try and improve our roster during the offseason tho! Especially since we have nothing better to do when it comes to football right now
