2013-Pugh, Hankins
2014-OBJ, Richburg
2015-Flowers, Collins
2016-Apple, Shepard
Flowers is probably the worst pick of the bunch and he is a starting LT (with room to improve), but each player is good to excellent. So, while we bash him for some late round misses (which is a crapshoot anyway), he seems to be doing a good job scouting the higher graded players. Put that in your pipe Raanan!
so now when a guy makes a good play, we even bitch about that. And god forgive if Beckham drops a pass!
2014 was back to back grand slam homeruns. OBJ possibly the best WR in the NFL and Richburg, possibly the best center in the NFL
2015 getting Landon Collins in the 2nd round was a ridiculous steal. The man is a tackling machine with an attitude - and has the football IQ of Einstein. He was not only the top safety in the draft, but possibly a top 5 overall player.
I like what we did this past draft as well and think we nailed it. Time will tell, but Apple and Shepard are already proving themselves to anyone who had doubts.

Yep. Oh, and remember about 3 weeks ago how Landon Collins was a bust?
Flowers is still a work in progress too.
You either get it or you dont...an Jerry Reese gets it.

Are you shitting me? You're not sold on by far the best overall lineman on the Giants?
I think they are in SF with flowers in their hair (and not Erick Flowers, he'd be too big).

He's been blown up and run over a couple times so far this year. He's definitely better than a lot of centers in the league, but I wouldn't put him on "best in the game" level yet.

I'm not shitting you. Being the best lineman on the team doesn't automatically make you the best center in the game.
He's been solid, no doubt. But All-Pro level? Nope.
This.
Injuries have hurt the most, that's mostly bad luck.

So we can't point out areas that Apple can improve?
In 2010 they took JPP and Linval Joseph.

lol.
Who's bitching? Someone else said he's arguably the best center in the league. All I said was he's not at that level yet, even though I think he's a very good center.
Jesus Christ! Reading is fundamental. Try it.

2010 was an absolute A+ draft when you consider the found pro bowl receiver Victor Cruz as a free agent who could have easily been drafted 3-7 in addition to 2 pro bowl DL JPP & Linval. Ability to find free agents has to also be consider in the overall player selection process. Not only is Reece excellent at the top of the draft he also does a great job finding undrafted free agent gems like Victor Cruz.
