Big Blue Huddle

Nubin was an excellent pick; probably the best and most versatile Safety in the Draft. Phillips is another Grade A pick at CB either inside or outside. 3 picks, 3 A grades. Well Done!

Cheers!

Yes, indeed. I certainly had a "Who is that guy?" reaction, Ceri.

Cheers!

Never mind the speculation about where Nabers will line up. He will play wherever he best suits the  Giants Offense as was the case with OBJ who began play as a Y- with some Slot- and later became a mainstay at the X-.

While the addition of a talent like Nabers to the Giants usual 6-man Receiver Corps including Hyatt, Hodgins, and Robinson was absolutely essential, it leaves a lot of room for them to keep Slayton this year as long as he's willing. Other than Boykin and/ or a punt returner type, it's not obvious who among the preseason roster would be more useful/valuable.

Cheers!

I would, although it's really not up to the Giants but to the Pats who would have to think Slayton is worth nothing less than 3rd Round value, and otherwise see him and the Giants 47 as worth as much or more than a Left Tackle to help protect Drake Maye while they might then use their next pick for a WR.

Cheers!

Just as quickly as OBJ, Jefferson and Chase.

Cheers!

One thing is for sure, B&Ming and whining after the fact helps no one. And if before the fact, it does little more than to sustain out-of-touch thinking. Nabers was the Giants consensus Mock Draft choice day after day from the start of the silly season through last night. Indeed, "waking up", wishing well, and rooting is what we all should be doing.

Cheers!

While there is nada to be gained by guessing, if DJ stays healthy and the Oline does a much better job in protection, Nabers should make the Receiving corps much better, indeed topnotch. With 6 QBs taken in the first 12, if that wasn't always the plan, tell me what was?

Unless DJ proves to be no worse than at least half of those new guys that is, have a playoff game winning season- or whatever we decide is so- the Giants will exchange him for the money saved and start over. That is the never in doubt harsh reality of it.

Cheers!

Great addition, a must have. And the Giants Mock Draft consensus pick all year since Day One. So, no surprise; none at all. Now, they need to hit big on at least more 3 guys for it to become a real success.

Cheers!

No more than folks here, including moi, think that about Daniel Jones. And I'm not as sure about DJ. 

Cheers!

Anyone not named McCarthy.

Cheers!

Moi aussi!

I am 100 percent biased in favor of the Giants having a solid if not outstanding Draft as I'm sure are we all. That said, I do have preference and opinion re their pick at 6 which include: Not using essential future resources to trade up for Maye or McCarthy nor for the latter no matter. 

That leaves me guessing that it will be Nabers or Odunze which either way will not threaten the content of my "glass"

Cheers!

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.

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!
