Hitdog was pretty spot on except he heard Hargreaves (older info) and didn't hear anything about Apple. But he e-mailed long before beat writers picked up stuff on Floyd and Conklin.

Limerick was off. Slade rapidly losing any credibility.
Calling out asshats  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 4/29/2016 12:20 am : link
after the fact is amusing. It's good info, if not entertaining. Don't chase them away.

On the side, never thought Slade was an asshat. Just someone who nailed a prediction once.
Without Asshats...

The pre-draft hype would be less fun...
They were right though?  
Jon in NYC : 4/29/2016 12:21 am : link
That's why teams traded up to steal their top two choices.
Asshats are fun  
Jim Burt64 : 4/29/2016 12:23 am : link
But this one is a "wowsa".. IMO

Lets get after the OT, LB tomorrow
Turns out

I am glad a team passed us for Floyd, but am neutral on Conklin. I like Eli Apple, so it is what it is
I have heard a lot of pundits tacking hargreaves onto the end...  
Giants_West : 4/29/2016 12:38 am : link
of lists of players the giants were "high on". Think maybe they were hearing cb and just intuiting him instead of apple based on the perception that there was a clear seperation from them?
Didn't Limerick say he would donate $500 to BBI if  
steve in ky : 4/29/2016 12:48 am : link
Jack was available and the Giants didn't select him?
Lay off Limerick  
Modus Operandi : 4/29/2016 1:57 am : link
He's one of the better posters on BBI, irrespective of whether his info was accurate or not.

So, he was "spot on", but didn't have any idea we would draft who we did?

hitdog had the Apple pick in the first round thread, suggesting it was going to happen if Floyd was gone, before anyone else did.
On the bright side, Limerick is donating $500

hitdog has still been pretty spot on.

I think we can officially stop taking Slade seriously.

He nailed EVERYTHING in free agency... perfect 1.000 batting average. He also knew Floyd and Conklin were top considerations well before beat writers.

It is also possible that Apple was the target and they wanted to keep that secret and one of Floyd/Conklin was pure smoke and was really the fallback if everyone else was taken. Hargreaves could have been the test balloon to see what the market was like for DB
Hitdog  
Steve in Greenwich : 4/29/2016 9:24 am : link
had Apple about 10 minutes before announced; as soon as Bears made the trade up.
What is hitdog's pick for rd 2?

I have to believe that even genuine asshats could be used  
steve in ky : 4/29/2016 10:38 am : link
by the Giants for misdirection at times. This isn't any fault of their own but rather the savvy oif the Giants taking advantage of how things work in this day and age if instant information.

So you mean our front office shouldn't be fired for being "the only team who telegraphs their draft?" :)

Are you ok with the Apple pick?
do people really get mad when asshats are wrong?  
UConn4523 : 4/29/2016 10:44 am : link
haha. Man you people need to lighten up.

By the way, we have a 20 year old kid with a ton of upside to root for, its actually pretty exciting.

UConn with his usual cogent quick sum-up
Unclear where at any point  
hitdog42 : 4/29/2016 11:05 am : link
My color has been off. Other then not having Apple over hardgreaves and then I had Apple anyway in the thread once the Bears traded - while every beat writer was whining like a biatch that the Giants are fkd.... But they weren't because they just adjusted post tunsil fall out which took Conklin out... And moved on.

Don't hate on the guys who try to subtly give color- you never see me or jonc post our own thread- the attempt is to quietly give color while not causing a stir.

Hitdog, just want you to know I appreciate you contributions greatly, thanks for the info. I understand the fluid nature of the information, things change quick.

BB56, I don't know enough about college footfall to be unhappy about Apple. And I like the idea of adding talent as the CB position in a league where passing and stopping the other team from passing rules the day.

I think most of BBI, or at least the quiet masses here, greatly appreciate all the information all of you guys share.

It is fun and part of what makes BBI
Once teams moved up for Floyd and Conklin  
JonC : 4/29/2016 2:07 pm : link
all bets were off for much of the info. While Apple was on my radar I never heard his name, and Treadwell was a bit lower than expected.

Of course, the OP doesn't grasp the concept either way.

Yes, Hitdog has been great
