Title: A draft with plenty of radio silence
Post by: MightyGiants on March 21, 2025, 02:07:02 PM
Notice we have heard little about players having visits with the Giants

Notice there have been no reports about what Pro Days Schoen, the Giants front office, and Giants coaches have attended.

It's be a draft period with precious little intel

I've said it previously, but while you can certainly have your issues with this front office, they have kept their draft plans very close to the chest and revealed little--a stark contrast to Dinosaur Dave who let everyone know his intentions.

The closest we had to a non-surprise player was Nabers, and even he wasn't a sure thing

This is exactly how a front office should operate IMO. No good comes from broadcasting your intentions.

I remember lead up to the 2016 draft when the whole world knew that the giants were in love with Leonard Floyd. So, the Bears swapped picks with TB and selected him at #9 and we were left with Eli Apple at #10. Ugh

Same with Devonta Smith

Yeah, this radio silence is perfect. Long may it continue.

I like it this way better.  I prefer to wait until they make the selection to start reading the complaining.

"...Giants are showing serious interest in Shadeur Sanders and almost everyone expects him to be their pick..."
Fans:  What the hell are they doing?  Sanders is going to be terrible and Deion is going to be a distraction.  I don't understand why this organization always does the wrong thing.

"... Insiders are saying Carter won't get past the Giants at 3...."
Fans: What the hell is wrong with them?  They already have Thibs.  Why aren't they taking a QB or Hunter?

Those of us who served in the military, and took part in simulation tactical exercises involving comms using keywords, crypto and other means to throw off the "red forces," you know EXACTLY what's going on!

Peace!
