Part 4/7:
The conversation shifts towards the NFL draft and its looming significance for the Giants. Despite the win, Gelman laments that the victory could hinder their optimal positioning for a franchise quarterback. He expresses that losing is often perceived as a necessary evil in the pursuit of building a competitive team, an idea that runs contrary to the immediate excitement of winning a single game.
Morash argues that winning a home game—even under these circumstances—helps invigorate a fanbase still reeling from previous disappointments. However, Gelman remains cautious, emphasizing the potential risk of trading away the future to secure a quarterback when the Giants could end up drafting a player who’s not guaranteed to make a significant impact.
