If Giants pick "______" I'll throw my remote at my TV!

People act like they know more than scouts do who work hours and hours watching tape on guys before the pick is made, I'll wait until I see the guy on the field before I get pissed about a pick...

Its like the people who scream and yell I never saw this guy play he sucks!

Or they pass on Myles Jack.

I have never understood it either.

Jack is injury risk, Floyd is a system fit risk. Gotta play it safe at 10. Cant take a risk there, theres no need to.

There is never a safe play, the entire draft is a crapshoot

the people getting upset over who we pick makes me laugh.

Floyd.

Treadwell.

.

because I don't have a backup remote.

But I'll be very unhappy if we take skinny Leonard "no position" Floyd or Myles "I sure hope my knee holds out until I get a monster contract" Jack.

Pick a healthy player with no injury to worry about and who fits an exact position and excelled at that position in college

... for whomever the Giants pick.

Roberto Aguayo meets your definition. Doesn't mean I want him at #10

Considering pro scouts are wrong about 25% or more on every pick

Darron Lee

Funny how people don't read the OP.

Simms

I WANT CONKLIN..

...

Lynch. Any other player can help this team in September .

.

we've led the league in injuries and games missed too many years in a row, lets not start off the draft with an injury risk.

Jarrod Bunch. the pick made zero sense to me and I slammed the remote down on the table. I wanted John Flannery.

I'll throw my remote at my TV!

I remember when the Jarrod Bunch selection was announced, Mel Kiper said "After drafting Bunch to join Rodney Hamption, the Giants have their backfield set for the next 10 years!"

Mind you this was pre-NFL free agency era, my initial reaction was, would either of those RBs be able to last 10 years?

Mo only carries the ball 2 or 3x a game, why the F are we drafting a replacement int he 1st for that??

The year Beckham was drafted I was sure the Giants would get a really good player Donald or Martin or someone else and that turned out to be Beckham. Last year I was happy when they drafted Flowers. This year it doesn't seem like any of the options around 10 are good options. So that probably means they'll draft a Hall of Famer. Let's hope.

IMO both have been better college players than they will be pros.

OL. Would be super dull to draft an OL in the first round in 3 of the past 4 years and the one year we didnt, we draft one in the second. If we go OL, we better have a better than dallas OL.

The Thrill Ride has a bold prediction:

Somewhere, at least one remote will be thrown.


Inside info: Thrill Ride will never throw his remote. Because all his technology is voice-activated. Upper 1%, absolute savage move.

I'd rather have a broken down Myles Jack.

..Have seen a few Mocks with him being the pick .
I prefer a tradedown..

And I'm Reese's biggest fan, but I would not be happy with him if he did that.

if Jack is sitting there at 10 and we pass on him.

have so many roster holes, even Jerry can't screw this up.

...

I have also never understood all the angst before watching, tape, etc...The only thing we know for certain is we the fans and even most teams don't know as much as we think we do. Every year BBI or some announcer says this player or that player is a can't miss player or will be a top player and every year they are proven wrong. We've seen Hall Of Famers taken who know one saw coming and guys go at the top who are giant busts.

or right at the middle of the TV screen?

It's a football forum. Eric has stated many times before the draft is the biggest time of year in terms of visitor traffic on BBI, even more than the regular season.

I was never one to read too much into the draft and nitpick what type of players are going to be in the draft in January, it's fun but whoever the Giants pick, the Giants pick. My guesses are never right anyway so what do I know. I like watching games more than anything on TV but he NFL Draft is my favorite non-game event. Look at the "Pre-2014 Draft Odell" thread, when someone searches and finds the thread 2 years later in the archives, you can now tease and poke fun at "BBI legend" chris r for his assumption on Odell before he even played a down in the NFL. Then again....I'm never right on who the Giants take! Just endless banter.

BBI FTW on down time!

I never gave a fuck much about the draft until I came to BBI in 2012

.

To be honest, I was pissed about OBJ and pissed about Pugh as well. Turned out wrong both times. I liked Wilson at the time.


I REALLY wanted Britt over Nicks in 09 also... I think I threw my remote, but I was at Rutgers at the time so I was biased.

with the 10th pick in the nfl draft the giants select paxton lynch qb memphis

Angst about the draft? People on this board love football, love college football and have strong opinions on who they like and don't like. the draft has been talked about since January on this site. Must have been thousands of mock drafts. How does anyone not understand the excitement and angst the draft brings to this site?

but threw it a few times during a game! That practice stopped after paying $75 for another remote.

I take my Giants and Mets too seriously but have softened with age. Mostly just a curse word now. It's just a game and it took me 50 years to learn that. Although a Giants win still does wonders for my morale for the week.

You nailed it

But would be disappointed with Conklin at #10. Enough of this Rudy shit.

Not a Day One starter at RT who'll send Newhouse back to the bench where he belongs. It's just Rudy shit.

out there at 10.

unless they immediately trade him for a great haul.

Let me clarify, I understand the thought, discussion and concern. What I don't understand is the anger, remote throwing and generalized "I know better then the Giants Scouts" theme I read on BBI every year. Every year people are hot on their opinions on the players and draft and we get it wrong way more then we get it right.

the Giants are rumored to be interested in at 10, none of them are a remote thrower. I am not excited about an RB at 10 but would not be upset with EE. He would make our team better so really can't complain about Conklin/EE/Floyd/Jack/Stanley/Hargreaves/Treadwell/etc.
