Big Blue Huddle

I was ready to pack it in around 10:30 last night but Joe hinted at a possible trade up back into the bottom of round 3.  That forced me to stay up for another hour watching until they finished the round and witness no trade.

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.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl with defense.

The Giants added heavy O-line, RB, TE, QB in free agency

I expect a RB and maybe TE tomorrow

The #Giants add another DB in Andru Phillips, who will compete to start opposite Deonte Banks. Here was my synopsis of him:

Andru Phillips is a tough-minded explosive athlete with impressive movement skills and fluidity to flip his hips, stay balanced, and keep his eyes on target - perfect for shaded zone coverage & midpointing.

 He can play inside and outside, and he has the athletic traits and experience to succeed in both man and zone coverage. He's feisty at the catch point, with good technique to disrupt, but lacks the ability to locate and secure interceptions - had zero in college.

His anticipation skills and discipline are still a work in progress in coverage. He has the right mentality in run support and can deliver solid hits when he's in pursuit, but he's more of a wrap-up and hold-on tackler from closer proximity.

Phillips is raw, and his hands/physical nature get him in trouble. There are aspects of his game that still need to be refined, but the baseline athletic traits raise his ceiling.
