From one of the best run franchises in the NFL to close to the bottom but there is always Bungles, Da Raiders, and Deadskins to serve as a floor.

At least the Raiders and Redskins have won Super Bowls.

And then there are the Detroit Lions.

At least they all got picks.

The Cowboys traded all their away!

I think their next pick is in the 12th round somewhere near #30................

The Mannings and David Cutcliffe connection. Both Mannings have spent some off-season time in Durham the past few years.

I don’t even follow these things that closely ( teams other than Clemson ) but this one has me scratching my head. Was at the Clemson Duke game and saw Jones at QB. I wasn’t impressed. i looked at his yearly stats and they seemed to have gone down across the board with his worst season being 2018.

As a life-long Giants fan (70+ y/o), I'm thoroughly disgusted with their GM, Dave Gettleman. Should have fired his arse last year.
He screwed the pooch last year by not taking a real QB ... then trades Odell Beckham and dumps two of the best defense players during the off season.
I doubt the Giants will ever make it to the Superbowl again in my lifetime.

One would think Josh Allen would have been a better pick at 6 and they could have had Jones at 17, but its been reported that the Skins wanted Jones for qb. Only time will tell.

He’ll be a darn good NFL QB, just watch.

He has a rifle (with a scope) for an arm and some good foot speed for a big QB. In any of those throws in the video did his receiver ever have to throttle back his speed - caught in stride and at full gallop each time. On the money throws; easy catches.

It was a good pick.

I think I understand the Patriots approach and why they’ve been successful for as long as they have been.

They understand that in football, a team is only as good as their weakest link. You can have all the All-Pros you want on one team, but if you have a gaping weakness, it will be exploited. The Patriots understand that winning is about having the strongest “weakest link” over the other teams, which is why they simply focus on looking at the weak spots on their team and upgrading them, and it doesn’t take necessarily big name, big money players to do that.

Giants are going to regret letting Tom Coughlin leave the organization.

I am surprised some NFL team hasn’t picked up Brandon Silvers.

He is a big reason why Troy beat LSU and probably did beat Clemson tho Troy got royally rogered by the refs.

He has kicked around various minor league teams but always looked good in the few short clips I have seen of him.

I don’t understand taking Jones with Lock available. Of course the Giants fans wanted Haskins because he has more “upside” and “burst” and is a “fast twitch athlete” whereas Jones is “blue collar” and a “throwback” who “carries his lunchpail to work everyday.”

Meanwhile, the other Giant 1st round pick, Deondre Baker, got torched head to head by U. Mass. WR Andy Isabella, who remains on the board. Lack of burst, but he is a “savvy route runner” whose “motor never stops.”

You forgot the Buffalo Bills as the foundation holding up that floor.

I think the Giants brain-trust was captivated by how much Daniel Jones looks like Eli Manning - they couldn’t resist.

I remember another QB from a more obscure school whose name was booed when the Giants picked him. They were roasted all over New York for this horrible pick. Who would waste a first-round pick on this guy? Who is this guy anyway?

His name was Phil Simms.
