The worst thing that happened to the Giants in the past 10 years

[bldevil]

OBJ re-signing followed by the enormous dead cap hit.  Single bad decision set us back..maybe multiple years.

Firing Coughlin as #2 mistake.

Maybe the worst thing was having so many viable candidates for the worst thing.

Toney was completely awful and the third screw up in one round. That's simply mind boggling. Probably the dumbest move not counting OBJ's boat drama.

spider: Yeah, three mistakes involving a single pick says it all. Bob

You beat me to the punch. Good one. Bob

With respect to the sheer number of bad decisions he was involved in, I would have to say it was Dave Gettleman.

I'd throw in forcing Coughlin to fire Gilbride.  A guy who gives you consistent top ten offenses doesn't grow on trees and his one bad year that was the basis for the firing was pure scapegoating because it wasn't on him, it was the start of the Giants personnel decine, particularly on the OL.

And that all began with Mara's "the offense is broken" comment.

If we are talking about picks they didn't make, there are so many and for just about every team.  I mean, TJ Watt was drafted 30th.  29 teams made that mistake. 

For the Giants, its really difficult to pick the worst, here are some 1st round picks they made:

Kadarius Toney
DeAndre Baker
Eli Apple
Ereck Flowers

That is not to mention things like tying up money in Kenny Golloday.

If I had to pick a drafting mistake it would be picking Barkley at #2. Not that it's a knock on Barkley - under the rules and conditions of today I wouldn't pick Jim Brown at #2.

Still they got a productive player at #2, who certainly produced more than other 1st round selections, so I have a hard time calling it the worst move in a decade.  The fact he has been their best offensive player since being drafted should tell us all the moves on offense that followed were probably worse.

I think without a doubt that was a disaster picking Toney but for me it was before that in 2019.

Reaching for Jones in 2019 instead of bolstering both lines and waiting on 2020 which was the best draft class for Qbs since Eli's class was the defining mistake of this past 10 years.

I agree they shouldn't have reached for Jones.

But did 2020 REALLY end up being the best QB class since Eli's class?
