Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that if the Giants do not use of their two first-round picks on a quarterback, they may pursue a trade back into round one to get one of the quarterbacks still on the board.
Rapoport identifies the Seahawks and Colts at No. 21 and 26 overall as two teams that have shown an interest in trading back.
Sal Paolantonio reported on ESPN that West Virginia QB Will Grier could be an option for the Giants in a trade back into the first round should they miss out on Drew Lock and Daniel Jones.
Meanwhile, Giants GM Dave Gettleman tells Kimberly Jones that they want to come away with two starters in round one.
“We want to come out of (1st rd) with 2 legitimate starters (who) can step in and help us win now,” Gettleman said.
When asked about a quarterback who would sit, Gettleman said: “No, he wouldn’t (start right away) but it’s the position…The worse place you can be is quarterback hell.”
We’ll have more regarding the Giants as the news is available.

Gettleman clearly states, “the 2 first round picks need to be able to start right away and help the GMEN win now.”
That Gettleman statement means a QB is irrelevant as a pick in the 1st round for the GMEN. Yet! The asshole so called sports writers and ANALysts continue with this assinine nonsense about a QB being drafted at 6 or 17 by the GMEN. Or! The GMEN trading back to draft a QB. When in the last 20 years have the GMEN traded back or out of the 1st round?
Get with the program already assholes. The plan for the GMEN in 2020 is the QB position. The GMEN will have between $80-100M in cap space to get any QB they want via trade, draft or free agency. Believe my ongoing rant that Cam Newton will be a member of the GMEN in 2020. Another possibility could be Matthew Stafford of the Lions.
Tonight’s draft is going to remedy a lot of the GMEN defensive woes and finishing the offensive line as well. In 2020, the only position of weakness will be the QB position. And a Newton or Stafford acquisition would make Elisha Manning disappear into retirement a seamless transition.
