Giants, Cardinals, Jets are the only teams in the top 10 right now who are a threat to take a QB. Giants won't take one that high to sit on the bench for two years. They are the perfect trade candidate for us to trade the Texans pick with which I still think will end up below 13. If the Giants finish top 5 I believe we could trade up 5-7 spots with them to take Derwin James. I know it depends on which teams are picking that high but that's one example of a team who would probably be more than willing to trade out of the top 5.
As for Saquon Barkley, which one of those teams is the biggest threat to draft him? Probably the Colts if you as me today. The path to getting the dream trio of Jackson, James, Barkley starts with taking Jackson #1 overall, hoping the team that is the biggest threat to take Derwin James also needs a QB so that pushes him down to a team that is a good trade partner for us like The Giants. Then if he's still on the board putting a package together for Saquon. It's a long shot to get Saquon that way but there are a few things working in our favor.
1. We have the most draft capital by far.
2. There are other good RB's in this draft. Maybe not as good as Saquon but good enough that teams will still be stuck in the old traditional way of thinking that taking a RB that high is too risky when you can get serviceable ones later.
3. This is an underrated factor but we have the cap space to not only trade picks but acquire bad contracts from other teams who are picking high in the draft but also are in bad cap situations like OAK and BAL
There's a path to get all there which will require some combination of luck and team needs but it's not totally inconceivable.
