Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 08:46:23 AMThere will certainly be plenty of fuel for the glass-half-empty types.  The Giants are likely to pick either one of the two most polarizing QB prospects or neglect the QB issue and draft a WR (albeit a very promising prospect)

I'm just glad we're in position to make that choice. Hate being bad enough to be drafting at no.6, but it beats the hell out of drafting at 17 or 21. The most fun IMHO, is in the top 6 picks this year
 

Now that I posted it, I see a great big error and will correct it...

I put this together this morning to show the utter disparity between six reputable analysts/services that rank the top 20 players with an emphasis on QBs vs. WRs

Two things stick out to me: 1) Walter Football doesn't follow the crowd, and 2) JJ doesn't get as much love as I thought he would




[FIXED...duh]

Article in this morning's NY Post

The opening statement sounds about right..."The NFL should hire an auctioneer to take commissioner Roger Goodell's place on stage this year..." LOL

Welcome, Uncle Mickey, glad to have you aboard the best Giants' message board on the net...where intelligent people gather to share their well-thought-out opinions

The artical just below the one you posted is also interesting. It's Daniel Jeremiah's top 150. His top of the draft:

1) QB Caleb Williams
2) WR Marvin Harrison
3) WR Rome Odunze
4) WR Malik Nabors
5) QB Drake Maye
6) QB Jayden Daniels
7) TE Brock Bowers
8) OT Joe Alt
9) CB Terrion Arnold
10) OT Taliese Fuaga

20) QB JJ McCarthy

I don't think I've ever seen 3 WRs, listed in the top 4 picks in the draft...not in my lifetime

If we go QB, DeVito will be cut. That includes taking Penix or Nix in the second, or Rattler in the third, or a flyer late. The order will be DJ starter, Lock backup, new QB (insert name here). They are not about to hand the keys to the Giants fortunes to a rookie. Furthermore, we have a shot at one of the three WRs who are the best in recent memory, and there's no chatter at all about upcoming classes in the college ranks. Unlike Harrison, who has been touted since he started college ball, and the other two who have been oft mentioned throughout their career as Uber-talented, "once in a lifetime" type WRs. We might not get a another shot at a no.1 WR for quite some time

Just thinking out loud as a fan and not a professional analyst working for a team. Heavy decisions await Schoen tomorrow. I will be sitting on the edge of the couch with bated breath...would be chewing my nails if I was a nail biter 

Quote from: Philosophers on April 24, 2024, 01:29:08 PMThanks for your thoughts.  I am kost interested in seeing the voting between QB vs WR.  How interested is this board in these QBs versus these WRs?

My problem with Maye (and I know I could be completely out to lunch), is that I like that he is tall and cerebral. But he doesn't have a lot of "good tape" on him from all I've read, and he's not ever going to be a threat to run as he's not considered a mobile QB...hence, requires superb protection and precision route running by his receivers

I go back to have another Mohs surgery on my face in a couple of weeks...another scar, another life battle with Squamous...no biggie IMO

However, I am concerned about another spot that my dermatologist refused to biopsy and will leave that to the Mohs surgeon. The spot to be removed is on my right cheek, near where my short sideburns meets no other hair or whiskers. No problem - easy access, easy fix. The spot I'm worried about though is in the inside corner of my eye...not the eyeball, but in the corner of my eyelid. I will know more after my surgery for the other part. I just don't like knives around my eyeball, especially since Mohs surgery usually goes way beyond the spot to be removed in order to "get it all" 

My question: Has anyone ever tried "Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy" (Gentle Cure) that has been advertised on TV lately. It claims to heal Basal and Squamous cell cancer without Mohs surgery with a 99+% of success. I was wondering if any of you guys who routinely go to skin specialists have heard of it...or better, tried it

https://www.gentlecure.com/about-ig-srt/

Personally, I don't want to take a QB. That's either next year's problem, or one down the road a few years. So it's WR all the way for me. I see Maye as DJ 2.0, and JJ as a top 15-20 QB in the NFL. None of the QBs "awe me"

So, it's a toss up between Nabors and Odunze. As a person who takes way to many risks, I'd give my nod to Nabors as he can break a game wide open at any given moment. But I'd be happy as heck with Odunze who is more of a technician...IMHO

What I take from that is "only 43% chance of success with a first round pick...a 57% chance of failure...unless you draft a center, which is ridiculously rare in first round"

there will be tears of joy

there will be tears of sorrow

         

or no tears, but celebrations or anger

       

Just read that the Lions gave WR Amon-Ra St. Brown a 4-yr/130 million dollar contract. Is this going to be the standard for upper level WRs??
Seems a little insane to me 

Researched it a bit. Don't find a relationship to LT. And on a down note, LT-3 signed a contract with rapper Lil Wayne...which is a bad sign. Another Toney???
