The way they messed up the Eli situation last year played into this massively. Yeah, I mentioned it a while ago too. Not that I’m claiming to be a wizard or anything, I just knew what I knew from talking to a few buddies in New York. While there was a logic to Eli = Old = 1st round QB, that’s really not what Giants fans were sensing at all.

I believe his days as GM are numbered; when they have no plan to succeed Eli and Barkley isn't making as much of a difference as they hoped he would, Gettleman should start to sweat. Well, the 4th round has gone down. Now we see another piece of the Giants QB plan.

CommonCents Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Gettleman is the Rex Ryan of GMs. Always talking up a big game and never listening.

Reggie Bush was a phenomenon in college and had a lackluster career...i say this because all these experts never talk about the fact that RBs can be busts as well. there is a great Reggie Bush draft story. Casserly realized he didn't want to draft Bush number and have to pay him, (before the rookie scale), he starts calling around to try to move the first pick. He gets to the Jets at number and asked tannedbaum (Jets) "what will you give me for number one". Tannembaum pauses and says " give you ? what will you give me to take it off your hands" . in Gettleman's defense it was assumed Chubb was the second best non qb in the draft and hey maybe but at least one team didn't think so . In other words why move down for a bunch solid assets when you can have something special . The Giants had a good draft.
IgotBILLStopay Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 not so surprising since Browns picking 4th were taking Barkley if he fell. So, if you want Barkley, you can only trade with the Jets, which wasnt happening since Jets did not have draft capital left.

I still don’t like giving up our 2nds in the trade up, but it means Mayfield and Darnold were never options. And, I trust Beane if he says Allen was better than Rosen. that is dumb but they have made great picks this draft.
Doc Brown Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Who was the last running back drafted in the top 5 to make the Super Bowl with the team that drafted him? Reggie Bush maybe and even he didn't live up to the hype. You don't get the 2nd pick often and to pass on the opportunity to groom a quarterback like Sam Darnold under Eli is idiotic. Eli's arm will fail soon if his older brother is any indication. Gettleman apparently only waited until the 9:58 mark to get his pick in because of the mandatory five minutes you had to wait in the first round. You're not even listening to other offers because you're so infatuated with Barkley? Barkley will be a great player, but it's so much more difficult to find your franchise QB outside the top 10 of the 1st round than finding an elite running back (David Johnson, Kareem Hunt, Lesean McCoy, Le'Veon Bell).

It made Denver keep #5 to take him instead of trading down to the Bills at a high cost. Yes, either way mayfield and Darnold would be sandwiched at 1 and 3. That pick gave you us Edmunds.
Klaista2k Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Told everyone from day 1 that they weren't trading down.
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Gettlemen needs Barkley to become Walter Payton and Barry Sanders combined for this pick with an aging Manning to ever be justified. 1
