he's a black "Eli Manning..."...I like the pick, 20 yrs old, great size, loves football from a great program...what's not to like? Link - ( New Window )
I'm in. I was floored that we passed on several guys but after reading more BS about some of the ills of those prospects I'll take it. Reach? Maybe but projecting him as a 20 year old Sophomore maybe the value looks better in a year or two. If he goes back to OSU maybe he's top 5 material next year.

if he came out next year he could be the TOP rated CB
but feels like we could have got him a few picks later.
We are -1 pick maybe we could have picked up something.
I've seen it mentioned a few times that teams were all over him and had him high on their board. Sounds like he wouldn't have made it past 13 or even 12. Solid pick. Good young athletic kid with great attitude and upside. First thing that I thought was why didn't we trade back. And then it sort of all makes sense now. Giants stuck to their board. I think Giants fans will be very happy with the pick in a couple years especially.
that the secondary is 3 deep at corner and in general it's a young ascending group. Nothing wrecks a season like when a guy who should be on the street is trying to help the NYG defense stop someone in the 4th quarter.
Works for me. He obviously checked off a lot of boxes for NYG. He certainly looks the part. Can't get too worked up about supposed value or mocks or where this guy should have been picked. HE's obviously a legit talent.
No doubt Eli Apple was once an Eagle fan and his family too. No more though, they will learn to hate the Eagles.
LOL, what poster was it that said he and his son couldn't root for Collins because he grew up a Sean Taylor fan and is wearing Taylor's number in honor of him?
ESPN Rosenberg said he would disown his son if he was drafted by

I'm glad you're back dude. I have to say, I cocked an eyebrow when we picked him simply because nobody really talked about it.
But I asked about Apple at 10 several times on this board and it made me really really intrigued. In addition to his being very young, and physically gifted, he is also great insurance for DRC. When you think about it, this could be the last year for DRC. While I hope it's not because I would like him for another year especially to help groom Apple. But DRC costs us 8.5 million against the cap. If we're talking about resigning some of our younger guys like Pugh and Hank, having a cost controlled option who might become an elite quarterback is a lot more attractive to me than Floyd or Tunsil.

He has left the cat out of the bag. Could it be the name of a candy bar from a Seinfeld episode??????

He called each major FA add, nailed the draft board and called the Eli Apple pick when Floyd was still on the board. He clearly has a good source.

hitdog gave me the target for today. Not posting it for obvious reasons... but we'll see if he continues his very good batting average.

He's Michael Blackson's Nephew.
That Modasucka is a Philly fan seems like he's coming over to The Giants as well.
Who is that?
a comedian from Africa.
Too Funny! - ( New Window )
He is 20!!! That is young and great for Giants. He will be 24 when his first four-year contract is up.
I look forward to working against @EliApple13 daily! Welcome to the @Giants. #IronSharpensIron #NFLDraft2016
She couldn't have been that much of a fan as she called Michael Irvin a Running Back, on the red carpet yesterday....LOL

but other than that, we have no problems.

she said it in quotes, seemed like it was some sort of joke
Ha!
You should check out her blog. She writes very well and the articles are very entertaining.
Annie, if you're reading this, you must join BBI for comic relief.

Do you mean Dave Rothenberg?
If so, that guy is a tool. Lousy host, claims to be a huge Giant fan, but I heard him once say that Howard Cross won two Super Bowls as a Giant.
