lol I feel where you are coming from

But I'm sure if our collective minds ran the draft when Gettlemen was GM the Giants would have better prospects

The one thing I was totally wrong at during Gettlemans era was Thomas .... The draft that year tackle was deep .....out of the 4 top tackles I had Thomas as the 4th best ... boy am I half I was wrong

I've got something to say about this. I always suspect collusion of some sort in a monopoly, which NFL is.

Not an allegation, but a comment that somethings things happen in the league that are highly suspicious.

More generally, ever notice that when a few things go right, a lot of things seem to go right?

Wow. And they got a swing tackle too..great depth guy..wow ..two of my guys ..wow

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a penalty for ineligible receiver downfield in the NFL?

Wow. My two guys back to back..not bad my friends....  

He's a great technician..and can swing from guard to tackle. Remember..the NFL is going 18 games soon..need versatility and depth..especially on the line. Great value. Awesome draft.

What are his alleged health issues?

Surgical rod in his leg.

They announced him as a guard.

I really hope that Daboll and co don't play musical chairs the entire training camp again and let's them stick to one position.

My hope is that Mbow follows Eluemunor around like a shadow and soaks up everything. That's who he needs to be, a great guard with tackle flex.

Mbow listed at 303 lbs.  Small?  Not everyone is 338.  And he can add a fewe lbs.  IMO he'll be ok!!

I can't find any details of the injury, Bob. All I see is that it was a catastrophic injury and he missed the rest of the 2023 season, Then came back even better, starting all 12 games in 2024.

He's a tech OL..perfect swing guy with the grind.. absolutely..guys get hurt..AT you cant rely on anymore..let's face it.

Really hard to find fault with this draft

Ed: Hope I'm not wrong, but I'm sure I read just today that it was a long surgical rod in his leg. There were no details. So I called a guy and (this is the "potato game") he said he called a coach who said broken leg against Iowa. Bob

I don't think it's possible his agent hired someone to erase it from the Internet, but I don't rule anything out without evidence.

A player rolled up on his leg and he must have Superman's knees because the bone broke instead.

Bob

If they use him at guard does this mean say bye bye to Neal?
