Going back a couple of years, the 2005 draft was light on picks but gave us Brandon Jacobs, Corey Webster, and Justin Tuck. That was a monster draft too.

I can't believe you guys don't feel the significance and the excite level of this draft. Not since the 2018 draft. The impact? In 2018 the Giants still had Eli. In 2024, they are riding on Daniel Jones.

For what it's worth, the rookie salary structure changed the drafting of the wrong QB narrative, in my opinion. As long as the team drafting didn't give up too much draft capital (especially future draft capital), the swing and a miss don't cause the damage they once did, as a team can easily move on from their mistake.
Quote from: Philosophers on April 21, 2024, 10:12:27 AMRemember Mahommes was the 2nd QB drafted in 2017 and we all know he is now the best now.
Just because the Giants draft the 4th QB does not mean he wont be the best of the lot.
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 21, 2024, 10:16:18 AMBob, I made my declaration with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. I appreciate at the time the choice I illustrated was not the one being debated.
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 21, 2024, 07:15:06 AMIn terms of impactful drafts, most involved hits throughout the draft at much higher hit rates. Rarely have such historic drafts been identified at the time they were made.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 21, 2024, 07:15:06 AMYou could argue the 2018 draft was the most important in the sense that the Giants drafted Barkley instead of Josh Allen.
Quote from: Ed Vette on April 20, 2024, 07:12:23 PMThe most important draft for the NY Giants in 20 years. It will determine the fate of this team for the next decade.Ed: I don't believe that.

As you know, I like to play with analytics myself. Still, no matter how good a system sounds (or perhaps sounds flawed), I tend to step back and look how accurate the results look after all is said and done.
Here are the top 7 talented rosters per this author and his measures:
1. San Francisco 49ers
2. Kansas City Chiefs
3. Baltimore Ravens
4. Buffalo Bills
5. Philadelphia Eagles
6. Detroit Lions
7. Dallas Cowboys
With the possible exceptions of the Bills this seems to be a pretty reasonable ranking of roster talent (at least in my assessment)
