1 sack, six tackles through about 30 snaps over two games.

I wasn't one saying to get him at all costs. Fully on board with Odell Beckham.
I think he would have made an excellent

Guard or Tackle.
I wanted Donald  
mrvax : 9/19/2014 4:00 pm : link
because I wanted a guy that is a playmaker at 12.
I am happy the Giants took Beckham though b/c I realize the need there is greater.
LOL

Did you see the center grab onto Donald's jersey after he got past him? He almost took the damn hand off himself.
I wanted Donald  
geemanfan : 9/19/2014 4:04 pm : link
But there is a guy named Hankins who has 11 tackles and a sack In 2 games.
Donald  
sshin05 : 9/19/2014 4:06 pm : link
first step and quickness is crazy. However he is pretty undersized and had trouble tackling AP
I tell you one thing Donald would have solved the DV issue in the NFL  
Mason : 9/19/2014 4:11 pm : link
while racking up the stats because he's just that damn good.
I was a huge Donald guy  
BillT : 9/19/2014 4:12 pm : link
So far those that said his size wouldn't matter haven't been proved correct. There is still a lot of time for him. DTs take a couple/few of years at least. Looks so far though the DT we drafted has some ability but he'll need some time as well.
My understanding is that he is a BBI meme  
SB : 9/19/2014 4:14 pm : link
...and an overall shitty player. At least that's what I read here.
a Donald/Hankins duo  
GIANTSr01 : 9/19/2014 4:14 pm : link
would've been awesome for the next 5+ years!! Hopefully Bromley develops into a better NFL player than Donald!
that tackle on AP  
Blue Baller : 9/19/2014 4:15 pm : link
is cray cray
Yep,  
Curtis in VA : 9/19/2014 4:24 pm : link
he would've been great, at least until his first contract was up and he left.

Let's not ask for the moon now, if Bromley develops into a good player then the Giants will continue to have a strong Dline as Patterson and Cullin move on.
ironical  
blapre74 : 9/19/2014 4:31 pm : link
that he displays that quickness against the Vikings. Recall the quickness of Alan Page. He would have been a very good fit, but George Young used to say, "you can't have all the candy in the store." They had a greater need at receiver. The need for speed. :)
Great plays  
Headhunter : 9/19/2014 4:39 pm : link
what about all the other plays? You could look at Clint Sintim's one sack and think he was something special, unfortunately there all those other darn plays where he sucked
On a Giants note Patterson is the least productive DT  
Mason : 9/19/2014 4:41 pm : link
He is tied with Bromley with 1 tackle so far this season. Only problem he has 69 snaps to Bromley's 12 so far.
Hell,  
Gman11 : 9/19/2014 4:42 pm : link
if the Giants drafted him he'd be on IR by now.
Funny,  
Doomster : 9/19/2014 5:35 pm : link
when we devalue our own draft picks, it's oh no, you have to wait 3-4 years.....

Don't draft a guy and it's only 2 games....
4 TFLs  
kepler20 : 9/19/2014 5:46 pm : link
And a +4.1 grade on PFF.

Where's Odell actually?

I didn't think it was necessary to post corroborating review text, but he's getting tons of praise overall.

IIRC Sintim came unblocked when he sacked Romo.
DTs  
mrvax : 9/19/2014 7:36 pm : link
usually do now have impressive 1st year ability or stats. They need 1-2 years like ours do. If Donald flashes this year, that's a pretty good sign as Hankins did for us last year.

Man, Hankins has played very well so far this year. So happy with him.
do not have impressive

SanFranGiantsFan : 9/19/2014 7:44 pm : link
The love for this dude by some on this board amazed & still amazes me. You'd think he was Jesus incarnate.
I doubt Jesus  
bc4life : 9/19/2014 8:25 pm : link
could get off the snap that quickly
Nonsense, Jesus was a baller.  
shepherdsam : 9/19/2014 8:33 pm : link
Just got a little hung up against crossing routes, probably psychological.
It's not hard to understand why he was loved here  
SB : 9/19/2014 8:37 pm : link
Unanimous All-American
Lombardi winner
Nagurski winner
Bednarik winner
Outland winner

So, it's not just hype, or his insane combine #s

Couple that with:
1. Position of need
2. Perfect complement to Hankins
3. Our pass rush sucked
I would've preferred Martin. OL was the Giants greatest need  
nyjuggernaut : 9/19/2014 8:39 pm : link
this past off-season.
Just shut up  
Reale01 : 9/19/2014 10:07 pm : link
Right now we have an injured #1 pick who could come back and provide a spark at a position of need for a struggling unit.

Our defensive tackles have played well this year. They are not a problem. Donald may be a fine player, but he would be a luxury.

We have hope for improving the o-line when and if Schwartz returns. BTW - Is Martin that much better than Richburg? Are you saying you would rather have BOTH and no hope for improving the receiving corps?

Get over it. The little we have seen from OB3 gives us hope more hope than we would otherwise have at this point.

The one sack I ever saw Clint Sintim make, he lined up outside the tackle, who decided not to block him, and ran unimpeded directly to the QB. It was a play that most college LBs would have made.

Oh you must've been one of those guys who said he was too short and small to be an impact. Just 4TFLs in 2 games playing 60 snaps. Sure sounds like he's getting pushed around to me.

Watkins and Donald are the only surefire pro bowl guys right away. We had a shot at picking one and randomly went WR instead, whose played zero snaps thus far.
FWIW  
Some Fan : 9/20/2014 5:46 pm : link
Jonathan Hankins is younger than Donald. I think Hankins will wind up being better too.
We did not randomly go WR  
Some Fan : 9/20/2014 5:47 pm : link
We went with a guy considered a top 15 pick at max.
Less then 3 yards  
G-Fan4 : 9/21/2014 11:08 am : link
per rush top 3 in the nfl by those standards are problem isn't with our DT's
1 tackle today  
Headhunter : 9/21/2014 3:53 pm : link
but it must have been spectacular
That's pretty petty.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 9/21/2014 3:55 pm : link
.
I still think he'll be a superb 3rd down pass rusher  
SGMen : 9/21/2014 3:57 pm : link
I'm just not sure if he'll ever be a superb 4 down player.
wait a second  
Headhunter : 9/21/2014 4:01 pm : link
let me see if I understand, the guys makes some plays and his highlights
are posted. I point out he has 1 tackle in a game and I'm petty? Ok then I'm petty
Don't be assholes  
mrvax : 9/21/2014 4:06 pm : link
I wanted Donald too. However a receiver of Beckham's class can easily be seen as the better pick for this team, at this time.

I never said one negative thing about Donald. He looks like a nice young player. Again, fuck off.
