Quote from: MagicRat on December 30, 2024, 01:40:52 AMSimple, and honest (as I don't watch college football) question, are either Ward or Sanders "the guy"?

From reading some media I baulk at the thought of being part of the Sanders circus, he also comes across as a me-first character.

Ward, no clue.
Some insights from those with such insight please?

From what I've read here they are both in the JJ, Penix and Nix bracket rather than Williams, Daniels or Maye.

So hard to say if they are the guy if the Giants didn't think so last year.

ut on reflection I am happy with it.  I dont want either Sanders or Ward.  I prefer BPS for 1st round and QB hunting after.  This plays to that.

I also agree with you and usually advocate taking the best player available. But unfortunately, we have too many holes to fill and establishing both our OL and DL have to take priority. Maybe the best player available would be at one of those positions. Also, it all depends on what is doing in free agency . We do have money, but not at the top of the heap. I think we have the 15th best cap space.

I would start by finding out if Evan Neal can be a starting guard for us . Mekhi Becton made the change , and he was a bigger bust . . With the 4th pick Mason Graham and/or Kevin Banks could be available, certainly  Banks will be . I would do a ," Sherlock Holmes " investigation  about him  to see if he is capable of becoming an All Pro Right tackle . I don't care if you have to talk to his Pop Warner coach , but nothing should be left unturned.

My fear is that if Schoen is retained , he will trade up to get either Ward or Sanders and give up needed draft picks both this year and next. Hopefully Mr. Tisch will not allow that !!!

All I want next year is for the Giants to be competitive . I don't have the vision that they will be a playoff team but I want to see significant progress for playoff chances in  2026 and beyond.

Quote from: kingm56 on December 29, 2024, 08:10:43 PMWhat's the point of your pedantic question?  Are you accusing the Giants of having a low IQ for 'failing' to lose todays game?  You've had some hot takes over the years, but this may be your best.

Quote from: kingm56 on December 29, 2024, 08:36:49 PMYour question was insulting, juvenile, and entirely pointless (i.e. pedantic) — its akin to asking whether $1 or $1,000 is more valuable. Worse, the premise is DEEPLY flawed; it's not the "trap" you envisioned.  Fundamentally, you're holding the Giants accountable for winning today while absurdly claiming that those involved have "a low IQ." Yet, here you are, attempting to occupy moral high ground.  The irony is amusing...

Matt,

Knock off the trolling and bad behavior.



Is pedantic an insult?

Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise, especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

I wish Mara would sell up and go.

Were you so upset a few years back when the Eagles tanked in their final game not allowing us to pick Chase Young from Ohio State? We had to settle for Andrew Thomas a few picks later . Lamar Jackson was the 32nd pick  in the 2018 draft and Patrick Mahomes was the  10th pick in the 2017 draft.

Other than Patrick Mahomes no QB taken in the first round has ever won a Super Bowl since Matthew Stafford drafted in 2009.
