Facing Philly twice each year and knowing how good they are on both sides of the ball do we still take a QB in the first? We need to beable to protect Eli or ? establish the run game and stuff the run like we did in 16. So using our #2 pick for a player who may not be ready to contribute immediately may not be in our best interest if we want to beat Philly or those "D-ass" guys from lone star.
Trading for multiple picks to beef up our O line and get some D line help, Lb's and a edge rusher who can make Wentz uncomfortable should be our draft game plan.
Just my arm chair thoughts as I wait for the snow to melt up her.
Two side notes to the Del Rio plane incident posted yesterday- Last year I was in the boarding area with Doug Williams and saw how pestered he was by autograph seekers When I went past him ( in first class) I smiled and said -that was tougher than a 1st and goal from the one. He smiled and nodded. Then I heard him say to the guy behind me - "I'll sign it when we get off". Never happened- 1st class passengers are long gone before coach empties out.
Second event was in Albany NY airport after the HOF weekend in Cooperstown. Lou Brock was in the boarding area and was swarmed by guys with bats, shirts and napkins to sign. He did a few but had to have his friend tell folks to let him rest.
I'm sure this happens to most well known celeb's flying so we shouldn't characterize a person if he wants some private time.
This isn't how you make draft decisions at all.
Also, ask yourself, are the Giants a number 2 pick at the OL from competing with the eagles? The answer is they have many, many holes. Why not start that rebuilding process- which doesn't necessarily need to be a long one- with a franchise qb selection.
There is a lot of cleanup that needs to be done, multiple bad contracts that need to go (starting with jpp and Vernon). The draft isn't about next year, it's about the next 10-15.
