Big Blue Huddle / Re: On a scale of one to five ...
Last post by jimc - Today at 05:18:35 PMQuote 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.
Just a question here. What would have had to happen to make it outstanding?

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Dunleavy's draft surprises
Last post by Bob In PA - Today at 05:16:09 PMOn his first point... he himself admits he's not surprised, so why list it as a surprise?
Second point: the percentage of picks traded over those not traded over the NFL's long draft history is miniscule; as for the aspect that Schoen has been more active in the past, maybe THOSE were the aberrations and it's actually his style to stay put.
Third point: This is great news for the Giants. Unless Schoen got "aced out" by teams ahead of him and was actually trying his darnedest to get a guard (highly unlikely) it indicates that he is very pleased with his free-agency results and may also indicate that hey has reason to suspect several of his own drafted OL's are about to "come through" for the team this season. I do not believe I'm grasping at straws in mentioning the latter point.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: With their 6th round pick ...
Last post by MightyGiants - Today at 05:13:42 PM183. NEW YORK GIANTS: DARIUS MUASAU, LB UCLA
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 225 pounds
STRENGTHS
Effort
Blitzing ability
WEAKNESSES
Coverage potential
Power
Team Fit: Darius Muasau is an undersized Mike linebacker who lacks an elite trait and has tight hips, but his pursuit effort and plus blitz ability should allow him to compete for an NFL roster spot.
Grade: C-

Last post by andrew_nyGiants - Today at 05:12:13 PMQuote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 05:04:28 PMAnd 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.LOL so perhaps my use of the word popular was a bit of an over reach. I wasn't trying to claim a demographic study of who likes or dislikes the current version of the NFL.
My claim was solely my perspective, and to share my disappointment in an organization that I grew up loving (I was born and raised less than 8 miles from the PFHOF).
Now my football consumption is mostly confined to our Giants, and a few select collegiate teams as well as High School.
I don't like the current schedule and if they go to 18 I'll like it even less.

The #Giants select Darius Muasau at pick 183, an undersized LB out of UCLA
He was a tackling machine who recorded 440 tackles in college and led his teams in tackles in each of the last four seasons.
He attended Hawaii initially and transferred to UCLA in 2022. He will be a depth behind Okereke and McFadden. Muasau had 573 special teams snaps and was a special teams MVP as a freshman at Hawaii.
I will get to his film over the next few days.
Rich: Sounds like a legitimate "pot shot" (which reminds me... one under-sized linebacker I thought would do well in the NFL - Eagles drafted him 2-3 yrs ago (Georgia Bulldogs) isn't really panning out. They over-paid. Bob

Last post by DaveBrown74 - Today at 05:07:27 PMThere must be something wrong with Mahogany that all the front offices know about but that eluded all the draftniks and mocksters. Everyone knows who he is. That he keeps getting passed on has to be for a reason.

Didn't get a franchise QB. Can't win without one.

Last post by GloryDays - Today at 05:06:25 PMDoesn'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.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Which was the team's best ...
Last post by Bob In PA - Today at 05:05:03 PMI 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
