he builds this roster up enough in FA that there really is no glaring hole during the draft.

This method allows the Giants to draft truly the BPA regardless of position.

Hankins would fill that last glaring need.

Now move up and go get OJ Howard

That movie got awful reviews, I think even worse than Barbarian and yet I fucking loved it. Loved both but if memory serves I preferred Destroyer. I remember being in the theater and some kid lit off a bottle rocket. Good times.

We have a hole at kicker, but you're right. Now we go for BPA. Although, I don't want to give up anything to move up in the first. There will be superb players left on the board at the 23rd spot. I only like moving up in the later rounds to grab a player that has fallen through the cracks and should've been taken a round or two earlier (like our Landon Collins move)

It has generally not been in Slade's MO to post within his skeptic threads regarding his info. I don't think we're going to see a post beyond the initial one at the top. He was given info. He posted it. That Limerick Guy has conflicting info which he posted. I don't think this is going to develop into a pissing contest over who has more reliable sources. We should be grateful we have posters here who are willing to share inside info with this community.

Moose and Fury : 3/30/2017 2:44 pm : link
do we actually know if Slade is an insider? He was right on Vernon last year but anyone with a pulse knew we had a chance, so he may just have happened to be right. Same as Marshall, and with him he only said we had an offer on the table, not that he was signing. Slade's said many things that haven't come to fruition, including the infamous Eraser post last year and also one that said something to the effect of "something is in the works and you guys are going to love it"...

Still enjoy when he posts, but not sure if we know it's not some 14 year old playing tricks on us...

No No.

I hope I am wrong and Slade is right.

Certainly not a battle of any kind.

All I can do is put forth what I hear.

If I am wrong I will be happy as Hankins is back today.

Info is always fluid until the ink is dry, people tend to jump the gun.

have to connect the dots. Slade's handle is obviously a reference to his favorite '70s English glam-rock band of the same name. A group little known in the US, but wildly popular in the UK. Now what Brit has close ties to the Mara family? You guessed it, Kate's BF, Jamie Bell.

Unrealistic demands. The fate of the 2017 NYG isn't hinging on whether or not a 2 down run stuffer (who is merely a complimentary piece along the DL) resigns with the team.
Looks like another swing and a miss.

If the info is correct and Poston messed up his chances of returning, then I hope the Giants pull the offer and move on.

Hopefully that will be an eye opener for Hank and he can finally get rid of Poston and return. If not, then just let him go somewhere else and move on. He'd be great to bring back but he isn't irreplaceable.
Poston probably reads BBI
