Completely crazy FA/Draft scenario

AcidTest : 2/24/2017 8:47 am
Just because . . .

The Giants cannot reach a long term deal with JPP, so they put the non-exclusive FT on him. They can't get two #1's, but trade him to Jacksonville for a #2 this year, and a #2 next year. BBI is furious.

The Draft . . .

BBI is still smarting about the JPP "fiasco," but is salivating about the extra #2 pick from Jacksonville. Then Reese starts making calls. He eventually finds a partner, and trades #23 and Jacksonville's #2 this year to trade up for . . .

Patrick Mahomes.

BBI decides this is worse than the arrival of the zombie apocalypse or the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl for ten consecutive years.

BBI is almost catatonic when Day Two of the Draft begins, but is shaken from its stupor and stunned with another body blow when in the second round Reese picks:

Adam Shaheen.

And then in the third round he picks:

Trey Hendrickson.

Reese gets what he can for JPP, and with these picks reaffirms his commitment to his board, that FA is for needs, and that the draft is for the future. He says that Mahomes was their highest rated QB, and reminds everyone that Eli is on the "back nine of his career." He says Shaheen was their third rated TE, and reminds them of Gronkowski. Hendrickson can rush, and is a kick blocking machine.

What a shame to waste so much time and effort
I would shit in a diaper

and send it to Reese as apparently his seat isn't hot enough.

Then I'd think you came up with this crazy scenario just to get people to click on the link to your article. But at least you warned us it was "crazy" ;>)

If the Giants tagged JPP and couldn't reach and agreement, I think they'd keep him and try to sign him again next year.

And if they really wanted Mahomes, he'd probably still be there at the Giants' regular pick in the 2nd RD.
That was a lot of silliness

thought this up while shaving this morning. I'm not in favor of it. Just wanted to come up with something completely wacky that I know would drive BBI insane during a slow football time.

There are rumors that Mahomes could be a first round pick, and someone on another thread said the Giants are very high on him. As I have indicated elsewhere, I am not. I also don't think the Giants will take Shaheen or Henderson, since both are developmental prospects.
It's stupid posts like this that make me question why

At the end of the day, Reese and staff are in the unemployment line.

That crazy scenario

Would definitely put BBI on Defcon 3. This place would be insane.
Did you

Drop Acid.
That was funny, and crazy but what if

(I'd like to have some fun with this too)

The Giants instead of Drafting Patrick Mahomes traded up using 1 of those #2's Jacksonville's pick to get Jamal Adams

Since the NFL has evolved into a passing league, The Hybrid Saftey/LB would give us one of the most fearsome Secondarys in all Football

BTW I like the TE pick
btw, for all you non-golfers

Being on the back nine of his career only means that he's past the mid-point.
