I voted with the majority (so far). Solid draft. No obvious question-marks or lemons that I can see.

I do watch a lot of college ball and am very familiar with all but one of our picks (the last one).

As for those I know about... they're each people on whom IMO it's well worth taking a chance. Money well spent.

Maybe they've planning to convert him to fullback lol (or to a "need-2-yds-RB" as others have discussed). Bob
#3
Never heard of him. He's on Brugler's "Beast" but... must have a specialized skill of which I'm unaware. Bob
#4
Rich: IMO, we're not short on topics right now, so why talk about guys who've never played an NFL game? Bob

PS. Sorry to be a stick in the mud... appreciate all you do for this site, but IMO this one could be brought up in late summer (maybe).

Explosive... boom (or bust lol).  Bob

Theo is a very good player and I'm confident he'll try his darnedest to every job/task the Giants hand him.  Bob

Quote from: GloryDays on Today at 01:50:05 PMI think this team just doesn't get it. The offense lives and dies through their line.
Just throwing bodies at it doesn't work. Other teams' leftovers is not the way to have a dominant O line.
Just look at the Steelers. Their O line was decent, check their draft!
Evan Neal is a bust, who is the RT we can rely on to stop the pressure on DJ from that edge? Are they really relying on Eluemunor or Cajuste?
Who is behind Schmitz? Even if he improves, who's backing him up, Morrissey?
This to me is weird.. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it. They are ignoring to address the line effectively, like they did last year too.

GDays: IMO they have confidence in OL's they've drafted in prior years -or- they plan to catch a veteran cut this summer or on final cut-down-day -or- they think they can draft a guard some time today -or- all of the above. Bob

Quote from: Hadron on Today at 09:25:26 AMThe Giants typically do well with certain picks in round 2: DT and safety. Here's hoping that trend continues.
Hadron: Long time, few posts... or have I been missing them somehow?  Bob

Quote from: Uncle Mickey on Today at 11:02:34 AMTackling technique is not picture perfect but his instincts, awareness , quick reaction time and the angles he takes are top notch.

Mick: Lawrence Taylor's tackling technique was also on and "as-needed" basis but he always got the job done. lol

Quote from: spiderblue43 on Today at 08:42:47 AMDave,

I concur. Wpuld rather have a corner, but Nubin is a great alternative.

I can't believe the Commodes traded with the Eagles, handing them DeJean. Cooper is going to burn them. How stupid.

spider: We see all the players you mentioned in your posts above very much the same. DeJean is a guy I wanted for the Giants because he can play safety and corner, but I think Eagles will try to make him a safety. Another good pick by the Eagles, IMO. Bob

OK, this is one of those guys who does not look like a football player. Doesn't pass the eye test.

Everything about him seems out-of-whack and just plain wrong... until the ball is snapped.

Super instincts and blitz timing, outstanding vision while the ball is in the air (which allows him to anticipate very well and consistently locate himself right where the ball comes down... again and again. A play-maker.

This, IMO, could be the best value pick of the three so far.

Getting Nabers at six was clearly a good value, but getting Phillips in the 3rd round was a much bigger surprise.

Incidentally, Brugler had Phillips ranked higher than Nubin on the over-all list of best players in this draft.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Where does this leave Slayton?

Quote from: Painter on April 26, 2024, 01:48:01 PMNever mind the speculation about where Nabers will line up. He will play wherever he best suits the  Giants Offense as was the case with OBJ who began play as a Y- with some Slot- and later became a mainstay at the X-.

While the addition of a talent like Nabers to the Giants usual 6-man Receiver Corps including Hyatt, Hodgins, and Robinson was absolutely essential, it leaves a lot of room for them to keep Slayton this year as long as he's willing. Other than Boykin and/ or a punt returner type, it's not obvious who among the preseason roster would be more useful/valuable.

Cheers!


Larry: Absolutely, and I for one hope he stays. He's about to have a IMO great opportunity to elevate himself (through his production) this season. Having a WR everyone WILL worry about means that he will attract less attention from the defense... isn't this actually what every NFL WR really wants (or should hope for)?  Bob

Quote from: kingm56 on April 26, 2024, 01:45:19 PMI agree, Bob. I also don't get enough of dumpster Dan.
king: Thanks for reminding me. Haven't heard from him recently. @LennG or @T200 or anyone else... have you? Bob

king: I never fail to read his posts and highly recommend them. They are IMO too few and far between. Bob
