Big Blue Huddle

I agree on drafting both.   If the talent is the same, tackle is the more critical need based on AT injury history. I suspect it will be easier to draft a starting guard in rd 2 or 3 and a development swing tackle as well 

Quote from: Gman329 on Today at 10:05:15 AMShough....Howard.....Milroe......smells like desperation to me.

Like drafting Nassib, Webb, Lauletta, except higher.

It's fair to say all three are less likely to succeed than the top QBs in the last draft class and Ward.  I would even say there is a lesser chance of success than Dart and Sanders.

To me, drafting QB is like playing the lottery.  It's all a matter of odds.  I don't think most teams thought the chances of Hurts, Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, and so on were that great.  Yet the teams that drafted them hit on their lottery ticket.   As I said, there are longer odds, so I am sure there are even more QBs drafted in day two who didn't hit than my list of those who did.

Quote from: President Rick on Today at 10:56:28 AMwill Thomas be back 100% ????? IMO that is the crucial element here

Rick, that is an excellent point.  Thomas should be able to return, but the year post Lisfranc Injury tends to be a down year for many players.

The Giants need both.  We have so much OL depth that consists of horrible players.  Eze is horrible.  There Re plenty more.  Draft an OT and a Guard and push JE to back up for both.

This should be the Year of the Trenches.

Guys like this

Round 1 -  Carter, Hunter or Graham
Round 2 - Donovan Jackson, Darius Alexander, Josh Connerly
Round 3 - Ozzy Trapilo, Marcus Mbow (for interior), Tate Ratledge, Josiah Stewart

I hope they draft (in any order) an OT, G, DT and Edge

will Thomas be back 100% ????? IMO that is the crucial element here

If this 'Lenny' would do anything to help the hated Yankees, he should die 1000 long deaths.

              

I like Schoen's process so far. I like that he is not allowing Mara to bully him into desperate decisions. I really do hope his picks work out. I really think he has a good vision and plan for how he wants the team to look. It took him some time to push back against Mara and I think/hope this is the year he proves his detractors wrong.

In the draft, would you rather the Giants draft a guard or a tackle?

Quote from: MrGap92 on Today at 10:35:43 AMChange Shough to a different QB and I can buy into this. Not sure we have room on the roster for 2 RBs, but arguable a top BPA at 99.

I will admit the second RB was a mistake.
