Some people hated the "Becky" pick because he's too undersized to play outside WR.
If Cleveland doesn't take Saquon Barkley firsf

We're going to have a generational talent, equal to if not better, than the guy lining up with the yellow hair.

BBI will be in a simultaneous celebration and meltdown mode regardless of the outcome.

I believe if you just let the NFL know BBI has not yet  
pjcas18 : 4/20/2018 4:07 pm : link
come to a consensus on what the Giants should do, they'll push the draft out, probably indefinitely, until we signal them with white smoke.

actually it's a good thing for once

Strahan, Manning, Tiki, Tuck, and Osi
We need to come to an agreement fast

Tiki, Tuck, and Osi are not generational talents lol.

Shit they don't even have HOF considerations. Hell, I wouldn't even consider Manning a generational talent. C"mon guys.

I don't think we had two players like that EVER on the same Giants team.

DonnieD89 : 4/20/2018 5:53 pm : link
I not going to get upset at who we pick. I would love to have Barkley, but I understand that the Giants need to fill several holes with good talent. I not going to act like I'm going to break something just because my favorite player or position was not selected, like some posters on this board. I have confidence in what DG and PS are going to do.

I'm a big Eli cultist, but even I wouldn't say he's generational.

LT and Strahan ;)

Tiki's last three years were arguably the best three year stretch any RB has ever had. I would consider that Tiki a generational talent.
No!  
old man : 4/20/2018 6:12 pm : link
More like excited.
There's too many options to have a consensus.
And even when we know, we don't know.
In DG I trust.
Others would be wise to also. Come back in 2 years and judge this draft then.
Jeeze, no!  
TC : 4/20/2018 6:18 pm : link
Thank God nobody on the Giants staff gives a damn what anyone here thinks!
Ain't nothin' like hyping prospects and . . . .  
TC : 4/20/2018 6:23 pm : link
declaring them "generational talents" before they ever step on an NFL field. The sports media industry has to do it because that's there job, but to buy into all that crap!?!?

It's impossible for Barkley to meet expectations as he has already been inducted into the Hall of Fame with the greatest career anyone has ever had.
I think it can't get here fast enough

Here is how many in BBI will react if we don't pick Rosen:



And here is how the Darnold supporters will react if we pick Barkley/Chubb

There are probably who will behave that way if the Giants do pick Rosen than if they don't.

I took a poll and Rosen was by far the most popular QB on BBI.
Rosen is my choice  
Jimmy Googs : 4/20/2018 6:50 pm : link
Darnold would be nice as well.

Draft anybody else...ok fine, but what the hell are we going to do at QB next year? Or worse, sometime this year...
Yes  
jeff57 : 4/20/2018 6:53 pm : link
They may pass.
I'm really interested to see the Giants whole draft,  
TC : 4/20/2018 7:03 pm : link
and frankly, who the first pick is holds far less interest for me as I'm convinced that irrespective what they do, it will be a talent who contributes. The Giants have a lot of work to do, there aren't any first round saviors who will instantly return them to glory.

Yes, but Reese is gone now so there is hope. After scapegoating Gilbride and Coughlin he was finally held accountable for the mess he created.
But Reese was a true professional, too, no?

Ahhh yes. Good pickup BBB.
Barkley or Death !!!  
Bluesbreaker : 4/21/2018 9:31 pm : link
Ok a trade down does make some sense but stay in the top 5
and still come away with Barkley .
I think Rodney Hampton took a kick off back for a TD as a rookie . I remember Mark Collins took one back as a rookie
I have some pictures from that game . Got a Nice one of LT
Taking down Freeman McNeil . If had some better PC skills I have quite a few older pics that I could post .
not conviced on Barkley yet.  
madgiantscow009 : 4/21/2018 9:56 pm : link
you can't be a complete back without the tough run inside, he he can do everything else, but this essential part of being a runningback is a only question mark.
