With titans inviting a business in the draft of the NFL, will the giants go up for a QB

The Titans of Tennessee do not seem to be put on the writing of a “generational talent” with the overall choice n ° 1 of April.

They seem to prefer to exchange.

The president of the Titans football operations, Chad Brinker, attracts a lot of attention for having said Wednesday that “if there is a generational talent” available to the choice n ° 1, “you do not transmit it”, as he ‘said for the first time on 104-5 the ramon of the area, Kayla and will show.

But the emphasis should be put on what Brinker called his ideal list of list construction: acquire more choices.

“Ideally, if we could map it perfectly, you would really like about 30 choices in the next three years. And 12 of them must come in the top 100, ”said Brinker.

This means that titans are open to business. And this means that the giants may be only one phone call Joe Schoen to exchange up to n ° 1 in the general classification to select the choice of New York from the quarter-arre of Miami Cam Ward or a quarter -Rearrier of Colorado Sheder Sanders.

Could it be wise?

Titans desperately need a quarter. So, if Brinker and the new GM Mike Borgonzi prefer to exchange rather than take Ward or Sanders, that says a lot about their assessment of the passer that the giants would charge to take.

However, it is only up to a team to have a conviction for a player to write it. The giants do not have a single quarter-back under contract entering the offseason, and a large swing on a QB is worth it in a modern NFL divided by the wealthy and the no to this exact position.

To be clear, the Titans have sent strong signals that they do not intend to take a quarter of a quarter to n ° 1.

Brinker said about Will Levis on the President: “He will have the opportunity to compete for a starting job next year.”

This does not happen with a global choice n ° 1 in the building.

No evaluator of this NFL project considers that Ward or Sanders a generational talent either. So that the description of the player that the titans would remain and take does not include them.

This could apply in their minds in Colorado Corner / Receiver Travis Hunter or Penn State Edge Rusher Abdul Carter. But it is also a section.

Titans Media Tour of Wednesday was therefore an invitation from Nashville to the rest of the NFL to call Borgonzi’s phone on the overall choice n ° 1.

The new GM even joked by saying that he had already received soft openings.

“I think I had palpors,” he said laughing at his introductory press conference. “Yeah. Some congratulations (texts) but” yeah, stay in touch “.”

However, Schoen may not have to trade in n ° 1 in total for the quarter-tree he wishes, depending on the competition limited to the top of this project.

The Cleveland Browns at No. 2, the Raiders of Las Vegas at No. 6 and the Saints of New Orleans of N ° 9 are distinguished as the only obvious threats. The Seattle Seahawks seem to be too far at n ° 18.

Browns and giants also know that the Titans do not seem to choose a quarter. So the only concern is to lose the opportunity to take your favorite QB in another more aggressive team.

This could be enough to enlarge a market for Tennessee, even with them noting that the best QB will always be on the table to choose N ° 2 if the titans remain on site.

The overall choice n ° 1 is not often exchanged.

The Carolina Panthers exchanged with the Bears in 2023 of choice n ° 9 at N ° 1 to take Bryce Young. They gave transport to Chicago: two first -round choices (2023, 2024), two second round choices (2023, 2025) and the wide receiver DJ Moore.

The Rams sold the Titans farm in 2016 to go from n ° 15 to n ° 1 to take Jared Goff: two first round choices (2016, 2017), two second round choices (2016) and two third Picks ( 2016, 2017).

Before that, a trade in n ° 1 overall had not occurred since 2001.

That year, the Falcons went from n ° 5 to n ° 1 to choose Michael Vick. Atlanta gave the charge of San Diego its first round choice, a second round in 2002 and a third round 2001.

If the giants were to go from n ° 3 to n ° 1, then the cost would obviously not be what the panthers gave to Chicago to mount eight places in 2023.

But it would not be as inexpensive as Falcons exchange against Vick.

There is an opportunity cost associated with a team abandoning the overall choice n ° 1 in a draft of the NFL. And if the giants offered another team like the Browns, the Raiders or the Saints, there would be a cost to win this competition and give Brinker, Borgonzi and the Titans something sufficient.

Schoen would also have the advantage, however, to let Tennessee slide only two locations at No. 3 rather than hunting the dashboard. This could therefore be an advantage for the giants to seal an agreement.

Working with the Titans seems to be a little unorthodox on Wednesday’s press conference, where Brinker would not even leave the new Borgonzi sit on the platform.

Brinker would not even give a direct response when asked twice if he had the power to cancel Borgonzi on the overall choice n ° 1 of the team. So Tennessee, it seems, has its own problems.

However, this is not the problem of the giants. Their problem is at the quarter. And their work is double:

First, they must decide whether one of these quarter -arre is worthy of choice n ° 3 – not to mention the choice n ° 1 – especially when a team if the need for QB like Tennessee seems so determined to transmit these players too early in process scouting.

The giants have the same problem as Tennessee: they don’t just need a quarter. They also need a ton of talent upgrades in the rest of their list. Perhaps the signing of a veteran quarterly, using a choice in mid-round on a recruited QB and reinforcing the list around their quarters in the first round is a better bet in their eyes.

Second, the work of the Giants is to listen to what Brinker had to say on Wednesday wanting to accumulate more choice of recourse – an idea that he doubled during a seated with journalists.

“Regarding this choice n ° 1, you cannot transmit a generational talent. We will not do it, ”said Brinker, according to Tennessean. “But we must also examine all the options that are also available to us, because we want to constitute this long -term team. I have already mentioned it, if I can map it perfectly, I would like to have 30 choices in the next three years, and 12 of these choices come from the Top 100. It would be ideal. This is how you return your list, that’s how you get young on your list. “”

The Titans football tsar added that it would be good to find Jayden Daniels, as Washington did. It doesn’t happen often.

“You don’t always get generational talent in the quarter-arre from the start, as well as Washington,” said Brinker. “They were able to return their team fairly quickly. This does not mean that we are not going to try. We will do everything we can. We will look at all the avenues. »»

The giants are on this avenue. Now is the time to see if Schoen acts.
