I'd be happy with Barkley. I'd prefer someone who actually can be a franchise QB, but I'd be happy with Barkley.
Unless it's Darnold, I dont see NYG taking a QB. Even then it's a slim chance.
1. Darnold
2. Chubb
3. Mayfield
4. Barkley
5. Trade back
It's possible, but the Giants are the one team I can usually get a good read on based on having a good friend in their scouting department. No, he doesn't make the decision and no, he cant speak for what other internal scouts are doing...but he does have a pretty good "vibe" on what's happening. Obviously, he isn't going to give me details, but last I spoke to him I got the idea that they like Davis Webb A LOT and didn't see the need to get a QB early yet.
But anything can happen.
Yes. O-line play is getting worse and worse in the NFL. Elite players there are harder and harder to find in the draft because schools don't develop then anymore. So if you can find an elite one, then that's never a bad pick.
I still think I'd prefer a QB, but I certainly wouldn't hate it if we took Nelson.

I think it matters more if a QB is the type to drop back and sit in the pocket with only one hand on the ball. That being said, it's a very coachable thing to fix. Another area where people have a concern is having "smaller" hands in a typically cold weather city. In the world of gloves and heated balls, I just don't know how much of a factor that really is, but I'm sure there is someone somewhere that has probably broken it down.
Even more specific to Darnold...I wouldn't say he has small or large hands. Somewhere in the middle. So, I don't think his hand size is the reason for his fumbles. I think it has more to do with a very coachable technique and it wouldn't stop me from drafting him #1 overall.
