Q: What was your interaction with him during the process? Where did you meet him, where did you talk to him and did you send someone to go work him out at Ohio State?
A: Yeah, we have had plenty of opportunities to look at him. We viewed him in a bunch of different situations and at a bunch of different locations and he made a great impression on us.
Q: You personally met with him multiple times?
A: We had a variety of looks at him at a variety of different locations and he made a great impression.
MEDIA Q&A WITH ELI APPLE:
Q: Did you think the Giants at number 10 could be a possibility?
A: Not really, honestly. They talked to me one time at the combine, but that was about it. It’s kind of crazy to see myself on the screen (at) like number 10 and all that stuff, but I’m excited.

Dude, it was double speak. The questions were baiting about meeting multiple times and the responses held them off. Don't get all up tight.
I have no respect for the press or anyone who takes them serious Â
A: We’ll see. Hopefully he makes a name for himself. He’s got the perfect name for New York and here.
Q: Was that a factor in picking him?
A: Of course. Just like the cooking was and ironing and laundry.
Q: You joke about that, but how much of a concern is it when you draft a kid who is that young?
A: This guy came from a good family, went to college and we’re asking about cooking. We’re talking about practice… Come on. The guy plays football. He shows up to practice. He goes to class. He’s got great parents and we’re talking about cooking? It’s not a factor at all. It’s that he does things that are football related that work out.
Who was canned from his two previous jobs and presided over some of the worst drafts in Giants history.
Maybe, but when he's getting asked questions like "Was he destined to be here, like the other Eli?", it's got to be hard not to get irritated with some of these reporters

Comes across as evasive because we maybe we didn't meet w/ this kid? ie covers the fact that perhaps we were unprepared here.
my post wasn't meant to come across as me being "up tight". I thought it was funny the way the questions came off consecutively. I'm probably in the minority as I am happy with Apple.
can never win with these press conferences. Good for them for being a bit smug with these reporters - all they do is spin it into their own narrative anyway.
Ralph is practically calling the brass incompetent for not trading UP to get Floyd or Conklin. Because hey, future picks don't matter right?
Ross' line about retiring if he had a dime for every expert was classic. I love it. Stick by your pick and move on.
are acting as if Reese and Ross are crying in the draft room that Floyd and a right tackle got taken before them. It's their job to not panic and take a good pick. That's what they did.

A: We factor everything in.
Q: What about Myles Jack?
A: We factor everything in.
That kind of Parcells/Belicheck attitude towards the media is fine when you're consistently winning....

Spags likes the long corners (6'+) with long arms. Hargreaves didn't fit the requirements.
Not surprised by the pick at all and I do not blame Reese or Ross for the selection.
