Big Blue Huddle

I rated it very good- looks like we matched needs with value picks where we got them and potentially have a superstar WR, which is quickly becoming another essential piece to an NFL offense.

I may have rated it higher if Schoen had been a little more aggressive in moving up to get some of the higher ranked CBs, but he didn't have much capital to work with.

Do you notice right there why some of us are upset about not addressing the Oline weakness in this draft?
O line is like a chain.. one weak link and it breaks. Neal was a turnstile last year.. they messed up with that high pick... they knew it and still stuck their head in the Staten Island sand and depended on his off season training to have fixed him. We know what happened ( and I lost my $5000+ wager)
, so what about this year?
Who is the solid back up at OC behind Schmitz? Bredeson is not here any longer to come in when / if Schmitz goes down.
To me this is failing at your job.

Honestly. This draft was very unsexy, but solid draft. It is the equivalent of picking an OL in the first round. Not flashy, but lays the foundation for the franchise. I would've loved Drake Maye, but were we really ready to part ways with 2-3 future first-round draft picks with a roster with so many holes?

I give the draft a B+

Leonard Taylor
Julian Pearl
Fabian Lovett
Michael Pratt
Gabe Hall
Beau Brade

Some of the names still around that I'd love to take a shot on

Most of the ones I had...went in the last pick of the 6th, and the others in the 7th. I've been away from the TV for a while so I don't know if Christian Mahogany is still available, but he's one I'd like

Potential if available at end of draft:

DE Myles Cole
RB Carson Steele
TE Brevyn Spann-Ford
RB Emani Bailey (had a great Senior Bowl)
OT Ethan Driskell
OT Andrew Coker


Really wanted Stiggers and thought he might slip through the cracks. Apparently more known than I thought

Sorry did not address our biggest need QB. Did nothing for our second biggest need solid help on the OL.

Does anyone think our OL is solid? We gave Jones a big piece but what did we do to keep him upright?

I guess our management thinks what we have is good enough.

Did you want the Giants to draft a QB at 6 that they didn't fully believe in? If not, them not taking a QB was  kind of our of their hands. As for O-line, it was our heaviest investment in FA and that's without considering that we got a new OL coach. Our starting OL in week 1 will likely be Thomas, Eleumanor, JMS, Runyan, Neal barring injury.

The defensive secondary was far more of a pressing need. We probably needed DL help more than OL help so if they ignored anything, it was there.

I say average.

Quote from: katkavage on Today at 06:04:38 PMYup. They were never going to draft a QB with Jones under that horrific contract. Giants are so predictable.

With the 2025 injury guarantee that Jones has I don't know how they play him just to get stuck with him longer.
