Anyone else concerned about the damn leak?

David B. : 4/28/2016 10:09 pm
If the Giants REALLY wanted Floyd, the leak to Ranaan and others killed them. The Bears KNEW they had to make the move ahead of the Giants to get him, and they did, leaving the Giants with their dicks in their hands.

I have nothing against the Apple selection, though I think they could have traded down a few slots and still taken him.

But if they actually did want Floyd, they got what they deserved, and someone's head should roll for it.
Leak?

How about leakSSSSSSS? Everybody and their mother knew we liked Floyd and Conklin.
I agree Dave

The pick is fine the "loose lips" are DEFINATELY not
David, have you read any of the other threads?

We're all killing the organization for being so loose-lipped.
Apple

is a better prospect than Floyd.

This worked to our advantage.
A better fit I should say

I'm more concern about Tunsil leaks

someone now hijacked his instagram account. What's going on? Who has it out for this kid?
It's a huge concern

big disadvantage having the press sitting in your war room every year.

Probably someone connected to his stepfather.
The Giants should have just published their draft board

What a bunch of dumb fucks we have running this team.
Maybe they leaked Floyds name on purpose and never wanted him at 10

I may be critical of the Giants front office about things but I don't think they are bumbling idiots.

I wasn't on the Floyd bandwagon, and am fine with him NOT being the pick. I'm am, however, furious about the leak, and feel Apple could have been had a few picks lower. I also would have jumped on Tunsil, for better or worse.

I am mainly pissed about the leak.
Oh shit Tunsil instagram reveals he was waiting on payment to his mom  
Mason : 4/28/2016 10:17 pm : link
from Ole Miss. Shit is crazy.
I've seen about 8 players associated with the Giants  
AP in Halfmoon : 4/28/2016 10:17 pm : link
So I don't get the concern over this. If the Bears wanted him, they may have moved up regardless of what was or wasn't said. This is much ado about nothing, IMO.
Is n't it possible...  
Johnny5 : 4/28/2016 10:17 pm : link
..that the Floyd and Conklin talk was smoke? I mean, I can see Conklin... and I liked the idea of him as our pick... but Floyd? Not really. Maybe they liked Apple in the top 2 of their board. I mean, nobody on BBI has any idea.
Yeah because our desire  
UConn4523 : 4/28/2016 10:18 pm : link
to get better on the oline and our track record valuing pass rushers is some major fucking secret.

Get a grip, there was only a few guys in the mix and they were all at premium positions that other teams covet too.
The Giants use some of the media to push their agenda  
arniefez : 4/28/2016 10:18 pm : link
all the time. Quite possible the leaks are payback for writing what they want written and not writing what they don't.

That's impossible. :)
It's not an Apple thing

It's a Bad job of being a GM. Your owners shouldn't see your board until you are on the clock!

Than why not take Tunsil? And, honestly, I'll be shocked if Floyd translates to the NFL at a high level.

Exactly - attend pro day- top pass rusher.... Hmmm maybe they like him?
And the obvious need at ol.... Guys like kipper had Conklin very high on board
The reason the Giants didn't get their guys was the tunsil drug issue- and it coming up late- they either get Conklin or tunsil otherwise.
i hope the beat writers will press them on this

It's obvious why they didn't take Tunsil (ask San Diego, Baltimore, Tennessee as well). I'm stil not even convinced they wanted OT at all, we've spent a ton on the line already.

But this leak stuff is hilarious. Do we have some secret pool of players that other teams don't know about?
The price we pay to be fans

Of teams in th biggest media market
I understand that the leak is concerning  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 4/28/2016 10:35 pm : link
I just find it hilarious that Floyd has been torn to shreds on here now we are upset that Chicago jumped over us for him.

Yes I know, Conklin too, but everybody knew Tennessee was looking to get back into the top 10 I think that happens no matter who we were targeting.

When it's all said and done we may have the best CB in the class. Higher ceiling than Hargreaves imo. Perhaps a lower floor also, but hey why not?

David B. : 4/28/2016 11:16 pm : link
From my perspective, I really don't CARE that it was Floyd. The fact that they missed out on a guy that I personally thought was a lousy fit, boom/bust pick just makes it a tiny bit easier for me to go:



But I honestly don't care WHO it was. I'm pissed because there was a leak, and I DON'T for a second believe it was a smokescreen. What? To trick some other team int NOT picking Eli fucking Apple ahead of Hargreaves and Tunsil? Please.

You just DON'T let it be known WHO you like to the point where reporters are stating it as coming from inside the org. Because this is what happens when you do.
Getting more and more like EA in that regard.

re: leaks. Odd.
Is it really a leak...  
Klaatu : 4/28/2016 11:18 pm : link
When you have guys like Bob Papa and Paul Dottino openly discussing who the Giants like?
If nothing was ever said  
David B. : 4/28/2016 11:21 pm : link
No wiff of Giants like Floyd --

You think the Bears make that move?

I think they take their chances.
You should thank the leakers that another team had  
DonQuixote : 4/28/2016 11:33 pm : link
To trade up to take Floyd. We got a better football player in my opinion.
Bears have been in on Floyd as long as we have.  
David in LA : 4/29/2016 4:47 am : link
Giants thought about moving up. There's a reason why they didn't move up.
