Anymore questions for Patti before I send these off to her?

Since my one question has been answered, I would like a new one:

Patti,

I have always wondered exactly what Chris Mara, Senior Vice President, Player Personnel, role in the organization is.  Can you shed any light on exactly what his roles and responsibilities are within the team's management structure?

Here are Patti Traina's answers to the questions. Some were duplicates so she only answered one and I think I may have mistakenly left out a couple so I'm sorry about that.

Congratulations Patti Traina you have just been hired as the new GM of the New York Giants.   What do you do with your first-round pick (let's assume for this question both Darnold & Rosen are coming out and you have the 2nd pick).  Do you pick one of the QBs or do you trade the picks for some more picks and try to fill in the gaps in our line up with as many 1st through 3rd picks you can get in the trade?

I trade down. This team has a LOT of issues to fix and very little salary cap room even if they make some of the moves I suspect they will to clear space. And I sure would like to know what I have in Davis Webb before I go investing in a quarterback if I have the second pick and don

Thanks Patti for aswering my question (and others) in great detail! =D>

Thanks Ed for putting up what turned out to be a dynamite thread. :Chestram:

So Rich, the Chris Mara mystery deepens? :-??

Jaime

Paint, methinks the latter. Believe It was Mara running roughshod over everybody. He bought Slick Hook Line & Sinker. :boooo:

MightyGiants

Thank you, Patti!


Does anyone else find it funny that the team has a Senior Vice President on their staff that even long-time beat writers have no real idea what he does?

Rich: Lots of family-run businesses have a Chris Mara or two.  Can't blame 'em.  A parent always has "hope" for his child....   Bob
If Jeff Hostetler could do it, Daniel Jones can do it !!!

If that's the case talk about how two brothers are given different lots in life.  One brother gets ownership of the team while the other gets a nice office and a make-believe title.   Was this all a matter of which one was born first?

I believe that's how England picks its monarchs.  No offense Ceri and London.  LOL

Chris Mara has a long history in scouting and player evaluation. He plays a significant role in Giants personnel decisions yet manages to remain in the shadows. That allows him to avoid scrutiny and to focus on his race horses, I suppose. But he can't be criticized for having two rather impressive daughters. Kate and Patricia Rooney Mara. 

Cheers!

I believe he owned and or managed a scouting service that at one time had half the league as his clients .
