incredible is that the very next round has been just as bad as the second round has been good.
Trust the process...

...be true to your board.
Yeah

I'm very okay with the Giants toasting a 3 and 5 to move back into the 2nd round if possible.
Idea!!!  
superspynyg : 4/28/2017 9:46 am : link
Since rd 2 has been great and rd 3 has been terrible
Let's trad our third and a mother pick to move back into rd 2 and get a second pick!!!

Hope our gm doesn't believe in superstition like you guys. A pick is a pick and there is no round three curse
Round one is always a head scratch.

As a life long Giants fan, with blue blood the first round pick sometime make me wonder. Engram is an improvement from what we have but was drafted a round to early and not the best TE on the board at the time. With that said, the Giants need to work on that offensive line. I would be a very happy if Lamp is drafted by the Giants, will make up for Engram.
Sintim Austin?

There is. The probability across the league drops dramatically after the second round across all positions I think with the exception of OL

Well that's always true of course. But people here are saying round 4 is better than 3 as we are cursed in 3. Higher picks are always better of course but there is no round curse.
you can pretty much count on one hand  
djm : 4/28/2017 12:35 pm : link
the 2nd round busts for NYG over the last 20 years. I wouldn't necessarily call Ruben Randle a total bust, but he was a disappointment. HE did play for a few years.

Austin
Simtim
Moss
Joe Montgomery (injuries)
Tim Carter

That's pretty much it. No one has done a better job in the 2nd round than NYG.
If you have a good process  
AnnapolisMike : 4/28/2017 12:41 pm : link
you should get a good player in the second round. Third round and down it becomes a crapshoot.

Trade out 3rd round and 3rd rounder next year to move up into the second round... boom 2 2nd rounders, no 3rd rounders problem solved.

Engram wasn't the best TE on the board at the time? Says who?
sintim was such an obvious one in that skinny bias

Clint Sintim was 6-3, 256 pounds. In what parallel universe is that considered skinny?
