Big Blue Huddle

Not what I would do.  But while I don't expect it to happen, I would be okay with it, as I would not be if it was McCarthy.

Sorry! I should first have said: Welcome to the body of the kirk, Mickey.

Cheers!

That is how it should be done. And well done.

Cheers!

It is not team specific nor is it meant to be anything other than as labeled, 1st-round picks that "hit" or "miss" by position. While the data covers the 20 years from 2000 -2019, it's not likely that the addition of a few more recent years will do much of anything to lessen the uncertainty at so many key positions whether or not we think the Giants deserve disproportionate blame.

Cheers!

We ought to know by now that people believe what they want to believe and as such will seek out whatever supports it. In the history of the world, has that ever been more obvious and pervasive than it is today? Pervasive not to be confused persuasive.

Wanting and needing to be an influencer on whatever subject can be a first step on a road to NPD of which we have become witness to its most extreme personification.

Yeah! I know. That's altogether gloomy and cynical and may not seem appropriate to the topic. But we should at least recognize that picking, choosing, and promoting is by any other name, sorry to say, propaganda.

Cheers!

Were those the ones at the Polo Grounds days as a kid watchiing? Haha. Just win. Mel Hein  memories no?

I'm old but no more than the solid red jersey days, spider. That's when you could hardly tell who was who when they played the Chicago Cardinals. It wasn't until they started to televise some home games that they decided  that it might be a good idea if one of the teams wore something that looked more like white on b&w tv.

Cheers!

Saquon should be glad to not have to wear such an ugly nonsense uniform. They should stick to selling Bib...Oh! that's right, it was someone else.

Cheers!

If the Giants follow the Bills model, top RB prospects will not be on their radar

Maybe so, but the Bills have had their yardage machine QB since 2018 whereas the Giants will no longer have Barkley's contribution potential.

Cheers!

Not likely to unmake a made-up mind, but it might break a tie. In any case, I hope it's viewed as a novelty and not as a precedent.

Cheers!

WR Kadarius Toney (2021 1-20)

CB Deandre Baker (2019 1-30)

CB Eli Apple (2016 1-10)

OT Ereck Flowers (2015 1-9)

DT William Joseph (2003 1-25)

RB Ron Dayne (2000 1-11)

Unfortunately, the Giants have been as predictable in picking "busts" as they have been otherwise which no longer- see above- can be seen as a surprise. But then again, 6 in 24, 1st Round Drafts doesn't seem quite so bad except for the lost opportunities/consequences.

Cheers!

I suppose it may be just the loser habit which explains why this place is becoming so effing joyless.

Jeezis!

While sticking to the question; if they can add one of these guys at 2 of those position on Day 2, that would be dandy.

CB: Quinyon Mitchell, Terrion Arnold, Cooper DeJean


RB: Trey Benson, Jonathan Brooks, Marshawn Lloyd


TE: Ja'Tavion Sanders, although t'would be a Day 2 surprise while a 3-tech would be an even bigger one.

As whom still is and where on Day 3 is the definition of who knows, I'll leave it those who feel otherwise.

Cheers!

Quote from: Jclayton92 on April 21, 2024, 10:19:49 AMDon't fall for the hype

God forbid! But, as the "Silly- for all but you- Season" approaches its end, could you not cut just a bit of slack for those more impetuous, less disciplined folks, who might actually enjoy an enthusiasm otherwise rarely afforded Giants fans?

Quote from: Jclayton92 on April 19, 2024, 11:04:46 AMWhich Giants fans did they poll because everywhere I go the vocal majority want a fresh start at Qb and it's not close. Most seem to fear that a wr would just end up like every other receiving option we've had the past half decade.

Also they gave way to many options, should have just been wr, qb, or other.

That's what extreme personal bias can do to you, Jess. Ever think of that?

Cheers!

I understand the point of the question. However, by now, we should have gained a realistic view of risk/reward/opportunity/chance as it applies to the Draft. Thus, I'd hate to think that hole-filling must exclude star-collecting. Why would we choose to handicap ourselves before we start?  Still, I do get it! It's always as much about luck as it is about anything else.

Cheers!
