I'm hearing the #Saints are still very much involved with Adrian Peterson. Sides still talking about a short-term deal to bring him to NOLA.

I am speculating, the Will Hill debacle, combined with a new head coach (at that time) on the Giants, contributed to the decision not to take Tunsil.
Tunsil MAY turn out to be a good LT..time will tell, but the risk at the time was overwhelming.
Meanwhile, Apple is a starting CB on a playoff team, with a top 3 defense. Not too shabby for a rookie.
I am speculating, the Will Hill debacle, combined with a new head coach (at that time) on the Giants, contributed to the decision not to take Tunsil.
As the article notes, the Giants already had concerns about Tunsil and there just wasn't time to investigate the bong video. I still think they should have taken the chance but can't kill them for it.
I have seen worse mocks than this. The players he picked fit and are talented. Davis is a beast. Butt may late until round 4, Kaaya is probably going in the 3rd round I agree.
Reminds me of his "They should have fired Coughlin, but he did a great job winning 2 SBs." days. jeez
We opted to go with a 20 year old physical CB with no work ethic questions or major injury concerns (that I recall) who contributed early on before suffering an injury, dealt with said injury, got back out there and was very effective.
The risk was lower with Apple but the ceiling could be just as high.
It's Gary Myers... what do you expect? I love how Gary ignores the fact that the defense became among the 2 or 3 best in the sport when Eli took off towards the end of the season. Gotta get over that.
Out of the top 7 or 8 DB's in 2017 you have 4 sophomores a few juniors and a senior. There's just no way to predict that. Plus if this is DRC's last year with us the blow won't be as bad.
You must have Bungle'd it. There aren't any missing posts on the thread - when one is deleted it's still part of the count on the main corner page.
I am speculating, the Will Hill debacle, combined with a new head coach (at that time) on the Giants, contributed to the decision not to take Tunsil.
I was also in the Tunsil camp. He was giftwrapped to us.
Apple looks like he was a very good pick, so I don't regret passing on Tunsil. You need at LEAST 3 quality CB's the way this league is right now. Our defense thrived last year because we had that flexibility.
I choked on the Apple, but have come to see him as a good pick
