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.
This worked to our advantage.
Probably someone connected to his stepfather.
I am mainly pissed about the leak.
Get a grip, there was only a few guys in the mix and they were all at premium positions that other teams covet too.
That's impossible. :)

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.

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?
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?
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.
You think the Bears make that move?
I think they take their chances.
