Giants Draft Trade-Back Talk & The Mendoza Overpay Debate
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Wed Feb 11 2026
Description: Giants fan asks the big question: should Big Blue consider trading back from No. 5 to pick up extra capital, especially without a third-round pick? The guys debate whether the smarter move is accumulating assets or staying put for an immediate-impact defender. If the right Ohio State defensive stud is there, do you just make the pick and move on? The conversation also touches on how players are remembered, from Rob Gronkowski and his Buccaneers stint to legacy debates that shape how fans view careers. Then it gets deeper into front office strategy. If a team truly believes it has found its franchise quarterback, is there any price that changes its mind? The crew breaks down draft value charts, negotiating leverage, and what an “overpay” really means when you are convinced a quarterback can transform your franchise. Would the Jets have to offer multiple first-rounders to move up, and would it even matter if the Raiders are sold on their guy? It is a wide-ranging football hour that blends draft logic, fan emotion, and the chess match behind the scenes.
