Sorta NFT: Star Wars Supplemental Draft: Giants Select:

9. New York Giants -- Boba Fett

There is no question Fett is one of the most popular beings in the draft. But he also might be one of the most overrated as well. Fett has the reputation of always getting his man, but in his biggest performance at Cloud City he was given a huge assist from Darth Vader, so be weary.


I disagree with this pick. Boba came with a lot of fanfare and acclaim but in his biggest moment came up short and was eaten by Sarlacc. Adding insult to injury, it was prompted by Han Solo who I would've hoped fell to #9 but went sixth to the Jets of all teams.

Players I would've taken over Fett:

Clones: We would NEVER have salary cap problems and if we were losing late, Clone Protocol 66.

Mace Windu: Apparently he's a leader in the secondary and our safeties are young and unproven. Also, there's only two black guys in the entire galaxy and we'll need someone with coverage ability.

Grievous: We currently don't have a blocking TE and with 4 arms he would have to be efficient as well as a quality red zone target.

General Akbar: Put him at LB. He's excellent at recognizing traps.

Wedge Antilles: He gets overlooked next to his friend Luke but he's battle tested and vital to any team. One of the few to survive both Death Star runs.

Porkins: OL depth

Ahsoka Tano: High Motor Togruta Girl. Ton of potential but always in trouble off the field

Figures we'd pick 9th in an 8 player deep draft

Defeated by a blind Han Solo, accidentally. Reese sleeping at the wheel again.
I love Star Wars

But, this is just stupid.
Lando is a steal at #19

Great value pick there.

take Jar Jar Binks in the 5th round.
I'm glad they didn't pick Porkins  
sb from NYT Forum : 5/5/2015 11:18 am : link
He just doesn't have the frame to carry all that weight. I think he's an injury waiting to happen.

Fett should shine in the right scheme. I feel that Vader really held him back. He needs work though, he showed a lot of rust on Tatooine
Hopefully

That's a throw the saber pick

I worry about Jabba's short arms. Another Pugh?

I thought so too but, at the combine Jabba took off his shirt. He was so sloppy, all belly. 2nd round!
I'd rather

have the Darth Vader's medical support staff.
The genius...

who came up with this brilliant idea is the same toolbag who wrote this just before Eli won his second super bowl.

You never know how these EU characters will stack up with the big boys. Plus Revan looks tough on the outside but I think he'll be exposed to be just another guy (or girl.)
