Doesn't matter much who are the targets if the line can not protect the QB or open holes for the RB.
At best with Nabers, this is an average unit imo.

I voted for Phillips, but as stated previously Nabors was ranked higher than 6th best player in this draft by EVERY draftnik and alleged draft expert... so it's unanimous that Giants got more than "fair value" for Pick Six. Bob

Quote from: andrew_nyGiants on Today at 04:58:41 PMBecause one doesn't like nor agree with the way the NFL runs its business doesn't mean that they shouldn't continue to follow their favorite team.

And I never said that they shouldn't. I am simply disputing the notion that the league is not popular, or that it's only popular with non-serious, pop culture-seeking fans. I do not believe that to be a factually accurate statement. It is not backed up by the numbers, nor is it backed up anecdotally when I look at this forum and I watch/attend NFL games and see plenty of older generation fans in the stands.

I voted 2. Didn't go with 1 to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Not addressing the lines was a mistake imo.
If the FA pick ups were good enough to fix the O line and also strengthen the defense against the run up the middle, then this could get a better grade. I don't see it though.
We'll see soon.

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.

Spot on Dave.

Not trying to be negative, but none of these picks scream "steal" to me at this stage. That doesn't mean they won't end up being that, of course, but that's just how it feels at this stage.

I went with Nubin. Getting the consensus best pure safety in the draft 47th overall feels like solid value to me. He seems like a really good playmaker who may end up being better than McKinney.

Two of them were "meh" last season. Adding a third does not change them into Hill, Waddle.... Until they actually perform at a high level.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 04:48:49 PMOk, and it seems you have stuck around and continue to do so. As have I (also been watching since early 80s) and plenty of other middle aged or older fans here. So it would seem that not only has the NFL managed to attract fans from the younger, short-attention span, pop culture-seeking generations you are referencing, but it has managed to maintain fans that were watching several decades ago. All of that flies in contrast with the notion that Goodell is "ruining" this league or that the league is only popular with a certain type of fan that is somehow beneath fans that used to watch the league back in the day.

If anyone wants to say they don't like the NFL anymore, that is perfectly fine and that is their opinion, but I don't see how anyone can rationally dispute the league's current popularity.

Because one doesn't like nor agree with the way the NFL runs its business doesn't mean that they shouldn't continue to follow their favorite team.

I believe the league could and should do much better by its players (past and current), that doesn't mean I should sacrifice something I've cultivated with my favorite team and communities like this one.

When I referred to the league not being as popular to guys like me that's what I meant.

Because I'm not a fan of the league nor Goodell doesn't mean I'm obligated to boycott my team. I boycott by not watching every night that they air, nor buying any merch which is labeled only NFL.
