But I'm not gonna cry about a 6th-7th rounder. I think the Giants need to accept that we're more than a beaten down LB away from contention and should just look to inject youth next season.
It's almost as if Reese is saying screw it we never find anything in the late rounds anyway (bradshaw obviously the exception, with MJ somewhat useful as well)
C'mon now - you can't believe the season isn't over
I think Reese would prob draft some project that doesn't make the roster. Its a gamble either way considering he never uses picks to move up into top two rounds. Have no problem if its a 7th
Bradshaw was a 7, Jacquian Williams was a 6, Boss was a 5, Ward was a 7...I can't think of much else rounds 5 to 7 that have been that great for us outside of that...aside from Matt Dodge of course
Ahmad Bradshaw, David Tyree, & Derrick Ward were 6th and 7th-rounders.
Thomas Davis is the one with the ACL history. Beason has had injuries, but he's not terrible. It's a 5th Round pick, NOT NICKS that was the compensation there.
And the defense isn't the issue, they've been great until they end up on the field for 2/3 of the game and wear out. We do need a Mike, though.
we usually net a comp pick so maybe we trade our 6th or 7th we can get one right back as a comp pick so it usually isn't a big deal. Reese has tried to make these moves almost every season. It's a good strategy IMO. Late rounders rarely pan out.
@art_stapleton : The irony: #NYG did not want Chase Blackburn, now are close to acquiring Jon Beason, who was beat out by Blackburn for job in Carolina
the case that the Giants were worried about the MLB spot. With Connor done for the year and Herzlich struggling (and I think he was in a boot this week with a toe injury), the Giants felt they needed to make a move at linebacker. They worked out Jon Goff a few weeks ago so I'm sure this has been on Reese's radar and the Herzlich injury/inconsistency forced his hand.

Before anyone heralds possible Beason acquisition as difference-making, consider this stat: 43 total tackles last three seasons.
Seems kind of foolish to trade for a guy who is physically done at this point in his career. I know pickings are slim but there had to be someone out there as a FA that can play and is somewhat healthy.

Beason is in year 3 of a 6-year contract. Salary jumps up big time next season, could be a cap casualty unless he has a big impact.
Beason, 28, agreed to a $4.25million pay cut this year in a restructured deal, but he can recoup $1.75million if he is active for all 16 games. Beasons new contract voids after this season, meaning this could be his final year in Carolina.

Kind of like the 1st round pick the Giants got from the Saints for Shockey - if Vilma was re-signed.
that worked out - Giants got a couple first out of that (they still haven't used)
If you're of the opinion we're done, then fine, this move is questionable.
Eric, I agree. We shouldn't be giving up any picks. We suck.
And the defense isn't the issue, they've been great until they end up on the field for 2/3 of the game and wear out. We do need a Mike, though.
if he comes in and earns a job it's an indictment on the guys that are already here

Rivers.. Curry.. Beason... just head scratching...

You don't trade a draft pick for Beason. You wait until he's cut, and then you kick the tires.
Jerry is lost. He is massively disappointing me this season.
This move makes zero sense this year or next year. Is Reese TRYING to get fired?
Kuhn, who's played 6 or so games and we have no idea what he is.
Cox, who hasn't played at all.
