Seoulofstone Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Does this upset you? He says Josh Allen should have been drafted ahead of Bradley Chubb. That seems like a compliment to me. With thanks to @FeelingOnYouboty whose handle screams of grammatical precision, for keeping me humble. Edited April 18, 2019 by Seoul_panther 1

JESSEFEFFER Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 The demand for media content continues to surprise me. I remember a time, and it does not seem too long ago, where the daily dose of NFL content was either a Felser or Northrup story in that day's Buffalo News. Those were the days of the TV Guide, The Sporting News and daily newspaper boxscores as important resources for sports fans. Many more folks making a living by generating NFL related content for mass consumption, all year round. But, that's across the board in all news genres. I do not know how newspapers can survive the internet. 2
The Senator Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 OK, I think I get it - Adam Rank had some column-inches to fill, and no idea what to write about. . 1
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 dumb article - but i like that robert foster is considered a 1st round talent 1 year later. 1
hondo in seattle Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I'm with the OP. I pay scant attention to mock drafts. They're more wrong than right. I prefer real facts over wild speculation and wait until the actual draft to get excited. I care nothing about do-over mocks. With all this mental m*st*rb*tion going on, this is my least favorite time of the football year. Edited April 18, 2019 by hondo in seattle
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 ...and the Giants still take Barkley over Darnold? No way. 2
MJS Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 He has us taking Lamar Jackson. Puke. Also has Foster going in the first round. Pretty big jump from undrafted to first round. Also has us taking Calvin Ridley. Edmunds drops a few slots but still goes in the first round. After 1 year our QB goes higher, our LB falls but still goes in the first round, and our undrafted WR goes in the first round. Guess we had a good rookie class. 1

I think Darnold kind of just played as expected. He didn't have an amazing rookie year or anything. Showed flashes and had some highs, but had some lows and lots of turnovers. Exactly as advertised. Why would they change their mind? 1
Golden Goat Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 After each draft, there's usually some goofball (Kiper?) who does a mock for the next year. I find those equally worthless.
RiotAct Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Lamar Jackson at 12..... ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ::gasps for air: aaahahahahahaha 1

Because they need a QB, and Darnold was one of the best in a pretty darn strong QB class. I’m not a big fan of taking RB’s early. Especially in the first 15-20 picks of the first round. JMO. 2
The Senator Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Hindsight better be 20/20. Too bad we can’t we can’t have a do-over of 2010 - particularly round 2. . 1
thurst44 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 It's waaaaaay too early for this, but this does make us look good as both our 1st round picks are still 1st round (one higher, one lower) as is one of our UDFAs!
frostbitmic Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 There are lots of things more worthless than mock drafts ... My business partner for one and take a look at Washington DC for another few hundred as well ... 1

They chose to ignore the fact that QB's are 100 times more important than RB's, and they would do it again. The only thing that should change a decision like that is if Darnold, Allen, Rosen, or Jackson had an amazing year OR if Barkley didn't do well.

The only thing that should change a decision like that is if Darnold, Allen, Rosen, or Jackson had an amazing year OR if Barkley didn't do well. Darnold showed flashes of very good QB play on a very bad team, and Eli proved that his arm is dead AND he’s playing on a very bad team. As silly as the notion of a “hindsight re-draft” might be, I think the Giants would reconsider their choice if given the opportunity. Hell, they might even take Allen over Barkley if allowed a do-over.
