Jerry Reese's Pre-Draft Press Conference Begins at 11:30AM

Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/23/2015 8:37 am
FYI.

While he might not say much regarding prospects, he could give us some important updates such as Cruz's health situation, etc.

"We're looking to get 8 good players".  
yatqb : 4/23/2015 8:58 am : link
Positions? "There are good players at all the positions. We'll just take the best one when our turn comes".
What Do You Expect Him to Say?  
Samiam : 4/23/2015 9:06 am : link
if he said much it would be incredibly stupid or more likely misinformation. He wont tip his hand in any way and he shouldn't.
as a reference  
Matt in SGS : 4/23/2015 9:07 am : link
here was what he said last year. Odds are we will hear pretty much the same thing this year (if he does his job right).

the only guy i can ever remember Reese mentioning before the draft was shaq thompson a couple months ago.

AcidTest : 4/23/2015 9:18 am : link
must hate this annual event. As somebody said, you can't expect him to do anything but say the same thing every year.

"We'll take the best player available."
"There are good football players available in every round."
"We like team captains."
"We're not concerned with what other teams do."
"Our board is ready."
You forgot these  
blueblood : 4/23/2015 9:23 am : link
" We look at everyone and we look at everything"

" We are looking to create competition at every position"

mattlawson : 4/23/2015 9:33 am : link
"too many [blank] is a good problem to have"

"we're interesting in doing what's best for the NY Giants"

"want to get better at every position"

"we're going to select the highest rated player on our board"
I'm thinking there will be no new/important information

I'll correct your quotes so it they read like Reese sounds. :)
just do us a fav, Jer...  
jnoble : 4/23/2015 11:11 am : link
..no more "projects". They hardly ever pan out. The "JPP of TEs" turned into the "JPP of the stationary bike/didn't dress this week list"
Pugh

Ralph Vacchiano @RVacchianoNYDN

Is Justin Pugh a tackle or guard? "Pugh's going to be a starter somewhere, most likely," said GM Jerry Reese.








Number 9. Number 9

RVacchianoNYDN

Jerry Reese: "When you draft at 9, you draft a guy you expect to come in and play, and play quickly."

Scherff  
jeff57 : 4/23/2015 11:34 am : link
RVacchianoNYDN

GM Jerry Reese said the Giants look at Iowa O-lineman Brandon Scherff as both a guard and tackle. "He can play both," he said.

Cruz  
jeff57 : 4/23/2015 11:36 am : link
@DanGrazianoESPN

Jerry Reese says Victor Cruz is scheduled to be back ready to play in the opener, but that they cant count on it.

Reese  
AcidTest : 4/23/2015 11:36 am : link
says Scherff can play "somewhere."
Please don't rush Cruz  
Geomon : 4/23/2015 11:37 am : link
Just don't.
Safety  
jeff57 : 4/23/2015 11:39 am : link
@RVacchianoNYDN

Jerry Reese said the Giants will try to upgrade the safety position

Does the league mandate this thing  
blueblood : 4/23/2015 11:44 am : link
because seriously they could just play a video of Jerry from any other year and get the same results..
Cruz is up now..  
blueblood : 4/23/2015 11:47 am : link
so this should be good..
Geomen  
Samiam : 4/23/2015 11:52 am : link
The Giants did not rush Beckham coming off the hamstrung while the player was being criticized by some as being soft. They won't rush Cruz coming off that injury.
Don't even have to watch ...  
Beer Man : 4/23/2015 11:58 am : link
Jerry gives the same answers every year, which reveal nothing that we don't already know, and give the rest of the NFL no indication of what the Giants are targeting in the draft.

Old Dirty Beckham : 4/23/2015 12:28 pm : link
they kinda did and he had a setback.

Projects  
stretch234 : 4/23/2015 12:43 pm : link
What players drafted in the 4th round are not projects?

of the 8 players drafted after Robinson in the 4th RD, 4 were out of the league in 2013.
Sounds like Pugh wants to move

oh give me a break.

In all likelihood he sucks as a player. I wish i could say such things about my boss.

I already dint like him.
If you saw the interview  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 4/23/2015 12:59 pm : link
As opposed to reading it, you might feel differently. It reads differently (harsher) than when he said it.

I liked watching him.

Over react much? Why does he in all likely hood suck? We haven't seen him play much so why do we wait and see and stop crying

are both great interviews. Looking forward to hearing more of them this year.

Beckham now up.
I love Pugh's  
ryanmkeane : 4/23/2015 1:43 pm : link
attitude so far. Hopefully it rubs off on the locker room. Let's loosen things up a bit and just go play. Seems like there hasn't been a lot of that going on the past few seasons.
Nat needs to STFU!!!
