New York Giants Thread

Most pro ready but unlikely to be the best long term. Though the Giants aren't ready to contend it is probably wise move to support Jones and Barkley

Overall consensus for me was that he was the cleanest prospect but maybe not the highest ceiling. I would definitely have rather if we had traded back and selected the nest OT available then. We now have pick 37 and not again until the 4th round more or less.

I'm very happy with Thomas, I have to say.

Think the Cowboys got great value for their pick unfortunately

Will be interesting to see what direction Gettleman goes tonight at 36

I think it will be on defence

I would take Yetur Gross-Matos was still there. Or Xavier McKinney.

Personally though, I'd like to trade down for a 3rd round pick. This is deep at certain positions.

Ruiz is gone, so I hope they get Cushenberry in the 2nd to solidify the O-line, and I think he would REALLY solidify the line. Nothing flash, just stop defenders having a bee-line to Jones.

So S Xavier McKinney at No 36

Can't really complain

It's a need

Not a bad draft at all so far, really.

Would have liked an edge rusher, but when you have as many needs as we do and a young QB and RB, it makes sense to double down on OL if you think the value is there.

Doubt we'll go centre, even if Biadasz is there at our pick now. We have Cam Flemming and Peart as backup tackles and Gates to cover inside, and potentially challenge for centre spot.

We'll probably resign Halapio too, if I had to guess.

We've a bunch of 7th rounders I wouldn't mind seeing packaged together to get a higher pick today, but might be a difficult sell.

So we went with Darnay Holmes CB UCLA

Another CB

Seems very small at 5'9 3/4

Very good on special teams apparently. Would be close to judges heart

Hmmm maybe

Still think we have bigger issues than ST

No pass rush is going to be a big big issue

Rest of the draft

Cam Brown OLB Penn State

Carter Coughin OLB Minnesota

TJ Brunson ILB South Carolina

Chris Williamson CB Minnesota

Tae Crowder ILB Georgia

All defence

DeAndre Baker got himself arrested for armed robbery and aggravated assault. I would think that is the end of him as a giant, especially if “culture” is as big a thing as DG makes out

Absolutely

He's looking at a long tíme in jail

Gettleman and the scouting department definitely seem to have overlooked character issues

We can't afford to wiff on a first rounder

More on Deandre Baker from NY Daily News, today...Its a fascinating read

"The police documents, which include victims and witness testimonies and information obtained from search warrants by cops as well as surveillance and body cam footage and detective notes, allege the now-former Giants cornerback suffered a huge loss in a high-stakes dice game on May 12, tried to steal it back that night — and returned with a firearm the next evening to rob the game’s big winner and three others at a Miramar, Fla., gambling party."

" And Victim 4 acknowledges hearing there was “cheating” going on in the May 12 game at the Quality Inn....Victim 4 says there were rumors Baker believed he’d been cheated out of $60,000 or $70,000 the night before at the Quality Inn, while Victim 3 says there “probably” were loaded dice used in the May 12 hotel room incident. Victim 4 said the players “came back this time ready” for any more cheating — with Baker and Shy both pulling guns."


"Baker “put a gun in the old man’s face” and “took all his money out of his hand,” recounted Victim 3. The “old man” surrendered $600 in cash and Baker grabbed a watch from his wrist, stuffing the stolen property in his pants pocket.

Victim 3 says Victim 1 protested there was no way he could have been cheating because he’d just lost $40,000 himself. And Victim 1 recounts that Dunbar was directing people on what to take from the others at the card game."

“When DeAndre Baker pulled out that gun, he looked like one of the guys in the projects that I see,” recounted Victim 3. “It was like he was playing in a movie or something ... We were — (in) our minds … we’re blown away from the start. Like this fool really pulled out a gun on us. And we’re the gangsters, you know what I mean?”
