Jerry Reese goes RB/WR/CB/TE with his 1st 4 picks.
What a complete imbecile.
This draft got Coughlin fired.
Every other GM in the NFL nails every draft. Only Reese misses. Am I right?
This franchise missed on the coaching staff first and foremost.
This team has been reacting to perceived roster holes instead of proactively creating a roster that is the result of a comprehensive planning process. Now that Eli can no longer cover for that we're seeing the results.
Drafting for need is how you ensure drafting high every year.
Seems like one of those situations where you had a better chance of picking someone useful by throwing a dart at a board with player's names.
As easy as it is to blame Reese, Mara is the real culprit. He has enabled this by keeping Reese in this critical position of decision making.
He was a good KR and nothing else...
He was a nice special teams player. As a rusher? Exclude 1 game in New Orleans and he has 404 yards on 103 carries over 2 injury-plagued years. Hardly noteworthy.
Phillips, Nicks and Pugh were all upper echelon players at their respective positions. Two of those guys were major contributors to a championship.
What an odd post.
So he shouldn't have seek replacements for Wilson, Plax, Nicks, Smith, etc? Or are you implying that Reese should have foreseen that injuries will end those players careers, and he should have been proactive by having their replacements in place before the injuries happen?

Gibril Wilson leaves, so you draft Kenny Phillips. Plax shoots himself, so you draft Hakeem Nicks. Pugh to replace McKenzie. Nicks to Beckham. And so on and so forth. Not the most forward thinking of personnel managers.

Odd indeed. When did Pugh become an upper echelon player? The guy has been a keystone player for the worst OL in his 5 year tenure. Of course, he only deserves that accolade when he actually suits up. I missed when he was named to a Pro-Bowl. He can't even be named as a replacement for an alternate of a pro-bowler.
Picking #32.
Needed RB, and who knows what DW becomes.
Tampa took his favorite toy, Martin.
What I dont get is they only need to choose from :
QB, RB, WR, DE, DT, CB, S, and the Ks, since they do NOT know OL and LB are existing positions.
That said...whoever is choosing the picks after #1, needs a cleat in the eye.
That draft was worse than our 2012 draft because it impacted their FUTURE drafts as well. And yet look at where each team is today.

Agreed. Excellent analysis.
Their #1 receiver screws up and goes to jail one year after winning a super bowl, creating a gaping wound in the offense of a team that's expected to be a perennial playoff team with a 27 year old franchise QB who just won a ring.
They spend their first round pick on a pro-ready #1 WR, and score a hit, They get a player who should solidify the position for four years and maybe be re-signed long term.
Injured by 2012, never the same player, leaves town after rookie deal.
It's been crushing injury after crushing injury to high-drafted players one after the other. And even their best late picks and undrafted finds got their careers nuked by injuries before they could ever establish themselves. They never had the opportunity to fill the roster because they were chasing their tails to make up for the loss of high-impact players who were the right pick and got taken out.
He wasn’t a rookie. He just sucked as a RB. Couldn’t beat out old ass Bradshaw, Andre Brown, or Da’rell Scott for snaps.

Pugh has been our best OL since he's been drafted. Unfortunately, his career has seemingly been derailed too early by injury like so many promising picks.
I know the narrative around here has been that Pugh is injury prone and shouldn't be resigned to major money. I'm also aware that you, in particular, seem to find a reason to bitch about anything and everything. But you don't get to revise what's been a reality. Pugh was a good pick. Arguably the best OL of that draft. Certainly the first round.

good post
2012 was 5 years ago now. The average NFL career is less than 4 years.
We had playoff talent last year. What changed?
Nothing that happened 5 years ago is really relevant to what is happening now.

Just because it was getting late, doesn't mean you can make up assertions. Best OL of the draft? Certainly the first round? I'll name three in the first that have had a better career compared to Pugh. 1. Eric Fisher 2. Lane Johnson 3. Kyle Long. There were others that could be argued that are equally accomplished without the injury. Certainly there are others that were picked later and accomplished much more. (David Bahktiari -4th rd.)
“This coach had as much of a say as any head coach we ever had,” Mara said of Tom Coughlin. “I cannot think of any personnel decisions that we made in the last 12 years that Tom was against. He did not have any players forced upon him at all.”

Let's not forget that Pugh was not tough enough to be carried off a football field on a spine board a dozen times in high school and is therefore a "puss."

They had playoff talent because they had to go out and buy it due to a real lack of being able to keep supplying the team with drafted talent. So the past five years are certainly still relevant.
I think McAdoo has shown he's not good at handling the adversity. TC's teams had plenty of brutal losses, and even started 2013 (I think) 0-6 but managed to right the ship.
Show me any team, other than NE (BB is by FAR the best in the business), that loses there top 4 WR in one game, 3 for the year, and compete for the playoffs? They may be 4-5 instead of 1-8. As a fan, I'd rather suffer through 2-14 and get a top pick than go 7-9.
The reason Mac needs to go, along with the rest of the staff, is the collapse of the Defense. People blaming that on Reese just have an agenda.

Since you can't seem to let it go, his toughness certainly can be questioned. A bruised thigh, headaches, sore back all reasons why he has missed games. As much shit that I shovel on Flowers, I've always been consistent with praising him for his toughness and hobbling through the high ankle sprain his rookie year. Without question, Pugh would have gone on IR and would likely hold a press conference espousing how tough the game is and the players. He even had a sprained MCL that he missed games for. The same injury in the same year that Big Ben had. Yet, despite earning the drama queen label, Big Ben returned to action sooner than your tough guy Pugh. Perhaps, he should be wearing the crown.
People seem to forget how explosive he was - 5 yards per carry as a rook with some great kickoff returns as well.
Randle and Holsey were what you would expect for second and third round picks
you can get a RB in 2nd or 3rd
Reese has had one good draft , 2007, he and Ross both stink
-Failure to seal the game on opening day in Dallas.
-Poor game management against Atlanta to drop to 0-2.
-Choosing not to kick the field goal to put the Jets game out of reach.
-The Panthers game debacle.
If he had made better decisions in even two of those games, the team hits 8-8 and he probably gets another year.
This is not to excuse Reese's bad drafting, nor am I intending to call Coughlin a bad coach. However, he made some costly mistakes in 2015, and you can't afford to do that when you've already missed the playoffs three years running.
he was a good KR, had a lil success as a RB, but it was a horrible draft pick. imo, too high to take a scat back that couldn't block and who had fumbling and health issues (remember he said he had an injury at the combine, and i wonder if nyg dr's coulda/shoulda noticed his spinal condition...)

They do not deserve a pass for Plax. They knew he was a problem and signed him to a contract anyway. The forward thinking move would have been to move on from him after the Super Bowl. And that's not second guessing from me...I was on this board suggesting they trade him in summer 2008 and I caught a lot of shit for it.
Plax wasn't something that just happened to them. He was a problem they ignored until it blew up in their faces.

Win a super bowl in 07 with a patchwork defensive backfield, lose their best safety to free agency, add to the defense with a late first round safety. They score a hit, get a player who shows great promise and should be a starter for at least 4 years if not longer. Player starts second season with a breakout game, immediately injured, career derailed to major knee surgery

Has it occurred to you that when you continue to suggest that the team trade or move on from their best players that people tune those suggestions out?
The writing was all over the wall for Plax in 2008. Signing him was abject stupidity.
2. When he did attempt to address it, he whiffed with his player decisions
3. The head coaching decision... although that could have been more Mara. We may never know.
