Welcome back. It's the big blue banter New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join as always my co-ist Nick Falado. And today we're here to break down Cam Ward's NFL

profile one. I'm very, very excited to do quarterback out of Miami, somebody who I wrote up a full

report on CBSports.com. You can find it by just typing in Cam Ward draft profile CBSports.com. We'll reference that today. Nick's done a report on him as well. So we've done a lot of work on this player. What we will discuss today at this point, I think Nick, it's fair to say based on reports, is will the Giants trade up for for cam war i think taking him at three is out

of the question now it's completely off the board he will not last he'll pick three i earlier thought

that might be the case and they could lock box into just sitting at three and taking ward a dream

come true um again i remain frustrated by the fact that they can't just draft ward and keep all their

capital at one but that's what happens when you beat the Colts. And as I said yesterday on Twitter, Nick, I will feel no remorse. I will feel no regret. And I will not feel any feeling of being a fake fan. When I'm watching the Colts Giants in Week 17, rude for the Giants to miss that field goal or root for the Colts to make that field goal. And I'm okay now and open in saying it. Again, I want to make it clear. I can't believe I have to say this 100 times to explain it, but no, that doesn't mean I think the players should do anything differently. No, that doesn't mean I think the coaches should do anything differently. No, I don't believe that people playing for their lives should do anything differently. What I'm saying is me as a fan, unrelated to that, I don't coach the team, I don't play for the team. I am hoping the outcome goes differently. I hope the Giants missed that field goal. And I'm not afraid to say it anymore. I used to try to fake it and be like, oh yeah, I'm rooting for them at the time. But at the end of the game, I feel differently.

No, when I watched that Colts game, dude, I was rooting against the Giants to win that game. And I'm okay to say it. And if it had happened the way that it went and they had lost that game, we would have the number one pick overall and we'd be drafting game ward. So you know what, dude? And the same thing two years ago, we'd have Jaden Daniels or Drake May.

So you know what, dude, I'm done with the fake.

Oh, yeah, I root for him in the moment.

No, I don't.

I don't root for done with the fake.

Oh, yeah, I root for him in the moment.

No, I don't.

I don't root for them in the moment during those seasons. Dan, you're out of the pragmatic closet. I love to hear that for you, bro. Enough. Yes. Get out of there, bro. break free my friend yeah enough i just had enough of it the faking oh yes yes i faking, oh, yes, yes, I hope they win in the

moment. No, I don't hope they win in the fucking moment. I want the first pick. I want the quarterback, dude. But you know what? The Giants still have an opportunity to trade up for that quarterback. What they'll give up, we'll discuss then at the end of the show. What we want them to give up, what is expectation of what they will have to give up to get Cam Ward.

But today, before we get into that, let's talk about Cam Ward, the prospect. Miami quarterback. Here's the background for him. It's pretty incredible in my mind. No star recruit, a zero star recruit, unrecruited at a high school, ended up going. And I always said this in my draft profile. If he ends up

being great, Nick, will he have like the Amon Ross St. Brown, like naming all the quarterbacks

who were recruited ahead of him. Like, you know, Amon Rosson Brown, those every receiver drafted

him in that draft class. I won. Gordon will be talking forever, man. He'll be given a damn

son. He was a zero star recruit and had to go to incarnate word. Incarnate Ward. Which is insane, man. That was his only scholarship offer at a high school, despite being pretty damn good at football and basketball. But I guess, you know, wasn't the biggest frame and maybe not exactly. He didn't look the part. And that happens sometimes. But anyway,
