Big Blue Huddle

Funny thing is the 49 ers used #3 on Solomon Thomas and traded both #s 67 and  111 (. #67 became Alvin Kamara).

In some ways this perfectly illustrates the absurdity of the discussions we sometimes engage in

Could be an interesting competition between Tracy and the kid Milller for the ST slot. If nothing else we're assured of more speed in camp

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 27, 2024, 04:18:44 PMI just wonder what happens if the computers or the network crap out

Hopefully they held onto the magnets

The scouting reports on DS coming out of Auburn raised concerns about his hands.  There was a reason why a guy with his speed lasted to the 5th rd.

I like him, seems like a decent guy, works hard, etc. But I wouldn't make him out to be more than what we've seen so far over the last 5 years. One of the many "okay " WRs who carve out careers as a #4 or #5   JMO

Agree with @PSUBeirut .  The disparity among the various rankings is almost comical.

Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 10:29:52 PMComing into the draft the defense had three holes. DT, CB and safety. On offense we neeed
What do I want? I want a F-ing offense that isn't a complete embarrassment for a 10th year in a row. The Giants have three young corners. How about we wait to see how the develop before drafting another one that didn't have a single interception during his time in college. Listen he's Giant now so I hope he's successful but when you have an offensive minded coach you might want to play to his strengths. Frankly I'm just pissed at the prospect of watching our defense put the team in a position to win only to lose because we can put points on the board.

I'm confused. If the needs on D were DT, CB and Safety and we addressed 2 of them why is that a bad thing?  There's still tomorrow when we can hopefully get some offensive contributors

Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 10:03:38 PMHe used our second round draft pick to trade for Burns. So three of the first four went towards building the defense.

Fair enough.  My focus was on what is/was transpiring in the last 24 hours

Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 09:53:19 PMI don't get it. Coming into the draft the defense was clearly better than the offense and we chose to use three of our first four picks to add to the defense. I guess they're just lanning on winning games 14-10. Not knocking adding Burns, Nubin or Phillips. Just doesn't make sense to me.

2 of 3 picks but I'm a little surprised rd 3 was a defensive player and especially because it was another DB.

Quote from: Rosehill Jimmy on April 26, 2024, 09:28:18 PMSome intriguing IOL prospects should be available too.  I think the niggling thought in the back of everyone's mind at 1925 Giants way is how to make the offense better. That's why my bet is RB or IOL

What did I tell ya.  Corner Back

Some intriguing IOL prospects should be available too.  I think the niggling thought in the back of everyone's mind at 1925 Giants way is how to make the offense better. That's why my bet is RB or IOL

Quote from: bamagiantfan on April 26, 2024, 09:16:56 PMRemarkably, with the Giants 8 picks away from their 3rd Round selection, the value is STILL at WR and CB. There is a guy here or there at other positions (TE, RB, G) but they may have a a decent CB still sitting there in the 3rd.

CBS are going.  There should be a good RB available.  Would this be a spot where you would grab one?

I wonder if the NFL is happy about these "insiders" jumping their TV productions

Quote from: Jclayton92 on April 26, 2024, 07:37:51 PMConfirmed Giants offered 2024, 2025 1st rd pick, 47 overall, and 107 overall to patriots and wolfe accepted, but kraft overruled.

By whom?

The only possible explanation would be if the Cousins rehab is not coming along as expected. Otherwise, a real head scratcher 

It will be interesting to see how the second half of draft plays out, especially if run on offense continues.  There could be an unexpected plethora of defensive players available for us at 47. But it's getting late so I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see

Good night all
