Episode notes
Trade No.1 If It Buys You Options
- If the Giants hold the No.1 pick, get maximum compensation and trade it rather than rush to draft a QB.
- Use the haul to add picks now and target a QB in 2027 if needed after evaluating Jackson Dart longer.
QBs Are Cyclical — 2027 Looks Loaded
- Quarterback demand typically exceeds supply, making future drafts deeper and valuable for teams to plan around.
- McShay expects 2027 to be especially deep at QB with prospects like Arch Manning and others returning.
Bo Nix Fits Payton; Caleb Is More Talented
- Bo Nix fits Sean Payton's system perfectly and improved quickly under Payton's coaching.
- Caleb Williams is more talented overall, but McShay trusts Caleb more across systems while trusting Bo within Payton's offense.
