Big Blue Huddle

On point 3, Schoen had better be proven right on his free agent moves. This draft looks a lot like a Jerry Reese draft where they prioritize athletic ability. Those types of drafts don't always work out for the best as we've seen over the years.

I'm okay with their approach if only because the roster lacks game changing talent. But it's contingent on the free agent additions on the OL and DL playing well. There's a lot on the line for Daboll but also for Schoen. If the OL continues to fail he's going to get a lot of the blame.

On point 3 he is giving the FA and 2022 draftees at both OL and DL a chance to grow with a new OL coach/a hugely respected DL coach. There will probably be a UDFA or two but because of NIL we know depth is an issue so any extra real help is more likely to come from post Monday free agents who will not impact 2025 comp pick and later camp cuts.

Went with a 4. I really like the players they got with the first five picks but they were all on the outside. Disappointed to not get a DL as it feels like we have a major lack of depth there behind Dex. Would have been interested to see if they would have taken someone like Orhorhoro, Fiske or Newton at 47 if they lasted.

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on Today at 04:29:07 PMFrom the Eagles' "Cheat Sheet"

"Darius Muasau (UCLA) – A four-year college starter, first at Hawaii and then at UCLA, Muasau has played more defensive snaps than any linebacker drafted in the last decade, and the production has followed him despite that high amount of reps. An outstanding blitzer who stacked up sack production, Muasau was a disruptive force downhill for the Bruins and has been a forceful presence on special teams as well throughout his career. It's easy to see the role he can carve out for himself in the league."

Special Teams - I'm beginning to see a pattern

He kind of reminds me of Khaseem Greene when drafted out of Rutgers

He was a beast at RU and broke all kind of records ... but lasted until the 4th round because he was considered undersized in NFL standards

Didnt really have a great NFL career


But the league is smaller and faster now... maybe we can get something out of this kid

I think after Nabers, Theo is my favorite draft pick.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 04:55:59 PMI went with average.

We are a way below average team that has generally had way below average drafts, so average is good for us right now. I'll need to see it to believe it for me to think this draft was better than average. I have plenty of confidence that Nabers will be a very good player, but any of us could have made that pick. The real measure will be all the other picks.

It might also depend on whether it is average for the league or average for the Giants.  The bar for the latter is lower than the bar for the former.

GM Joe Schoen reinforces after the draft that he said following the season that Daniel Jones was going to be the starter at QB for the Giants this season.

Schoen: "That's where we are. That's what we're going to move forward with this season. Daniel is still under contract  for three more years.

"As it sits today, that's where we are."
