To anyone who doubts Reese and Coughlin look at their Picks

EVERY4YEARS : 11/23/2015 6:11 pm
If you take a look at Giants1st round picks though the years
you would quickly see that Reese and Coughlin
are by far the best pickers we have had

With the exception of the wierd David Wilson pick they have nailed it every year

looking back at the George Young Era and beyond there were a lot of mind blowing awful picks

What were thinking?

Did we have scouts in the 60s and 70s????

Why was the David Wilson pick weird?  
Mike in Philly : 11/23/2015 6:28 pm : link
I thought Wilson had breakaway speed, and was what we needed. Bradshaw had his foif problems and a transition to a runner of Wilson's abilities seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately the kid had an injury that ended his career before it could really begin.

Imagine Wilson in this offense. He would have been a heck of a weapon.
I'm pretty sure neither Reese nor Coughlin look at their picks  
pjcas18 : 11/23/2015 6:29 pm : link
they make them blindfolded and avoid eye contact with them during their NY Giants tenures.
football is a team sport  
mdc1 : 11/23/2015 6:32 pm : link
so strictly looking at pick one is nonsense as we expect pick 1 to perform else they are just out of the league as a bust/

What you really need to look at is all of the selections made by TC and Reese and an associated status next to each pick:

1) long term starter for team ?
2) no longer on the giants and with another team
3) out of the league
4) out of the league due to serious injury
5) retired

Reese early/Young late

As good as Reese's top picks have been the organization has been quite the opposite after Round 1 for a long while

on the flip side

Young bombed on many 1st rounders yet hit on many after round 1.

RD 1 isn't the issue  
DavidinBMNY : 11/23/2015 7:03 pm : link
1) The first thing is with Wilson and Chad Jones crazy luck related to players and injuries. That is what it is.

2) Reese for a while was taking guys in RD # 2 that were RD # 1 talents with injury concerns. See Steve Smith and Terrell Thomas from USC. They were both good players, but there longevity came into question. That was a questionable strategy but it led to 2 Super Bowls. I don't think you can really fault it.

3) The real issue I have is the handling of picks in rds 3-4. Up until recently it felt like another of repeat picks of high ceiling low floor players. So for example, Brandon Mosley and James Brewer they fit that mode. I think if you look at rds 3 and 4 during the super bowl run you'll see almost every one of them is out of football. Bromley may be the exception to that rule. Owa has a chance but he is really part of 2) above. There was one year where the Giants took a huge gamble. Marvin Austin in RD 2. Another high ceiling low floor player. I was screaming for the Giants to draft Austin. Based on the talent at that time it was the right pick. Sometimes you just lose. NYG problem is they took to many of those players in a cluster of years and none of them developed for them.

Love Coughlin  
Glover : 11/23/2015 7:38 pm : link
Reese not so much, but I will never be satisfied. Coughlin has brought the Giants championships, but not consistent greatness, too many non-competitive seasons mixed in there. This season they are overachieving, even with the first 2 blown games. I can't even fathom this team at 7-3, but that is really where they should be. If the Giants can split their final 6 games and finish 8-8 I will be impressed. Reason why I have low expectations is because of the horrible defense and lack of decent depth on the O line. No Cruz and no Beatty and a one handed JPP are huge reasons why I expected this team to be 6-10. This team not good enough to throw 2 wins away, but I am glad they are competitive. It was more than I expected.
Get rid of em all, keep em all, Im fine with either.

Does that make young lucky or good

my point was look back through the last 50 years
most of the picks have been horrific

Reese looks like a genius by comparison

as usual, your threads and posts have massive holes. With a draft now seven Rounds there is no point in calling others doubters as Reese and the Giants organization have missed in picks after Round 1 which is the main reason the roster is so weak.

i agree with you that reese's first round picks have been good overall and even second round but after that they suck some 3rd round picks are supposed to make it as well as 4 through 7

they have done well in undrafted players also

but with nothing past second round i think his drafts suck

BBI's worst poster strikes again.
Ernie said in his book that the GM is responsible for the 1st pick  
sb from NYT Forum : 11/23/2015 8:01 pm : link
...and his staff and scouts are responsible for the later picks. Reese has said that he follows Ernie's management model.

Reese is of course ultimately responsible, but based on the above the crappy 2nd round and later picks were probably his staff's (i.e. Ross's) recommendations/selections.

ThatLimerickGuy : 11/23/2015 8:12 pm : link
There are threads on here every day about such stupid shit this is pure giants discussion.

Consider the following:

There are no BBI rules about the number of threads that one person can start per day.

There is nobody forcing you to click any thread.

If you prefer to engage in the ethics of telling a friend his wife is banging someone else there are threads for that.

This is a valid discussion of the Giants on a Giants message board.

yea, I'm not buying any defense of this thread because  
GMenLTS : 11/23/2015 8:33 pm : link
at least it's a football topic or anything else.

All his threads have been football topics. Now we're talking at least 5 of them every day, and I'm probably being kind with that guesstimate.

He's brought the attacking on himself. He starts a thread for damn near every thought that pops into his head. Many topics of which, likely already have threads with similar content already being discussed. It just pollutes an already severely polluted message board with more inane thread topics.

Normally I would appreciate the positive nature of his threads as I'm typically optimistic about our team but plain and simple, every thought he has about the team should not need to be a thread.

He's a perfect example of why this board has plummeted with regards to the quality of football discussion. So by all means, lets keep encouraging the behavior.

grizz299 : 11/24/2015 4:58 am : link
That's the second thread I've read from the OP and both are reasonable propositions. What the heck he's done that should provoke such attacks is strange.

I think that hitting on all of your no. 1's is very important. And certainly when you look at Accorsi there were a lot of misses. Significant and important misses.
So you want to jump JR on his third rounders. Well third rounders are not productive generally speaking. And his failure there is not as important. Certainly, we should have been able to find an offensive linemen among all those wasted picks.
His free agency hires have been outstanding and his free agency releases very good too. God I remember the bellows here when he signed Canty and Rolle, yet they helped drive us to a superbowl that year against statistically the toughest road ever.
Sure we've had some lean years. But that's about false and unrealistic expectations. Free agency, the cap, the savagely increasing and totally capricious influence of injuries, the evolution of the sport that make technological advantages unattainable (and it's technological advantages that drove the dynasties of Landry, Lombardi, Brown and Welsch) the rookie cap all these mitigate against the continued run at the top.
A few years ago...Kapernack, Wilson, Luck, And RgIII all make the playoffs as ROOKIES. It used to be unheard of to start four rookies in a season and unimaginable that even one would make the playoffs. They sign contracts, the roster is diminished as a consequence and they come back to earth.
Brees, Rogers, Flacco, Peyton are all superb qb's, playing for superb GM"s and organizations. They've one one each. Yet you find our GM and organization deficient.
The bottom line is only NE is better than us and only Pitts is close (and Pitts is and has had their trouble s too and their playoff runs and superbowls didn't compare.
NE is abberant and the whys of that a subject of another thread.
Leaving NE out we are the best franchise of the decade. Putting NE in we are the second best franchise of teh last decade or over Reese's tenure.
But to defend Reese brings out attacks and I'd say it's his unreasonable attackers who should pause and look at themselves.
Grizz - perhaps you should look in the mirror  
Giants2012 : 11/24/2015 7:55 am : link
rather than just ramble on.

Now you're preaching how Kapernack, Wilson, Luck, And RgIII all signed new contracts which diminished their rosters? Really? When did Luck and RGIII sign new contracts?

What if in 1995 Mara decided to fire the best Head Coach/GM
in the league, make himself GM and hire his college buddy to coach the team.

I doubt we would have won 2 Lombardis and made 3 SB appearances in the 2000's

LOL The only thing that made the Cowboys relevant was his smartly hiring Parcells (which was an ill fated marriage)
If Bill had stayed there we would have been in big trouble
