there is a lot of ignorance being displayed, but also a lot of posters are blinded by their own emotional attachment to this whole process. Some of them are normally good posters.
I myself was getting upset at all the backlash, and doom and gloom last night, and I realized I had to step away from it for the night.
RE: RE: What's your problem? Because I don't piss and moan
At ten they could have gone a bit rogue and moved up to get one of those guys. As things started to break down around them they did nothing. Don't ask me why but when Bosa went third to the Charges I told my son I have a feeling the Giants aren't getting any of the guys we hoped for or was talked about ad nauseum they were going to take.
They were at a tipping point at ten. There were no assurances the guy they may have really wanted would make it there. Just to move up a spot or two would have given them more leverage. Or trade down and get a couple more picks and a better value pick in the first round.

They stuck to their board and thought this was the best approach. We don't know if it was the right move but we certainly don't know it was the wrong one either. We really don't know how much they actually wanted Floyd or Conklin. You can't just assume these things.
What's worse, the noise generated by a den of mediocrity or somebody with an advanced degree who feels compelled to take the time to log in and express frustration over it?
Try getting yourself a post-it note, make a list of BBI'rs who don't have their heads up their asses and do a user search to see what they have to say. You'll feel better.

Excellent advice. I definitely need to learn to filter out the nonsense. Agreed.
have knowledge and experience to judge whether Apple is a lesser CB than Hargreaves.
Most based opinions on draft site ranking and watching you-tube videos.
I think this is the point right here. The NFL Draft obsession always confounds me. I tuned in for the top 10 picks but that's all. Even for those who know the college game well, virtually no one knows how these guys will translate in the NFL.
I've never been angry or happy about a pick, except for Eli Manning. In fact, the last time I had any emotion over a draft pick, it was not liking the Beckham selection because of his size. So yeah, I'm gonna continue to sit these out.
RE: What's your problem? Because I don't piss and moan
I get your point, but using that philosophy, there's no point in really drafting. Just throw darts or pick names out of a hat and then let them play first before you form an opinion.
I'll reserve judgement until the conclusion of his second year.
Coming from the guy who nobody likes.
Why don't you tell me why you hate the Apple pick? If you can.

Sorry I missed it. I'm sure it was riveting. Let me guess: You wanted a trade down?
Now go get your shine box.

You must have been sleeping in Reese's sphincter again. Too bad. It was riveting.
Stop acting like a child. That's all I'm asking.
Maybe let the guy play first?

Yes. 39 cents per post.

I'm guilty as well. After the draft shook out like it did, I was thinking Treadwell, who went 23rd
Conklin was gone. They felt Hargreaves is a better prospect, which is a completely fair assessment.
Tunsil was not an option. I just don't get the hate. Appe is big, top top athletic/size/speed, top program. Rated highly by scouts/"Draft experts"
What's the issue?

You should ask for a raise.

You mean the same guys who called him Becky? Said he sux and was a reach?
Just checking
