Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 07:38:08 AMI have been thinking. Perhaps all the public QB shopping and the heavily leaked interest in Maye and QBs in general and the trade with the Pats were all just a smoke screen. In Schoen's first year all the insiders had reported Thibs was off the NYG's board over character concerns.
The Giants may have really coveted Nabers. There were reports that Nabers was the number one WR for many teams and that WR, not QB, topped the talent for this year's draft. So here was Schoen sitting way down at 6 hoping to land the best player of the draft at a position of need. What better way to pull that off than to make everyone believe the Giants were heavily pursuing a QB, even going so far as to leak it to Rich Eissen, who isn't even an insider?
Quote from: sjones71 on Today at 07:46:46 AMThey played the board the best they could and seem to have gone with need/value. The Devito wins put us in a spot where getting a franchise-changing QB wasn't possible. Given that, they seem to have grabbed the best players available who also met a need. Truth is that there is need at just about every spot even if just for depth. A solid draft with no overthinking. Calmly took what was there and it at least feels like the scouting, pre draft process is run by grownups.
