How close have the #Giants been to getting a star RB?

The Giants take Saquon at #2!!!! That is my wish!

I was against it for health reasons, so I get why we passed. But getting pretty much nothing for passing really hurts. The rest is a lot of luck, especially Bell.

a great running game and play action vertical passing attack?

This says it all about why are where we are... Hunt and Bell were a case of bad luck though Kansas City moving up to get Hunt shows a shrewdness that we have not had. It showed up again in 2016 when Tennessee moved up to get Conklin and shafted us with Eli Apple. Gurley was clearly the right pick, but a fair argument can be made as to his health. Paul Perkins though, may have been the very worst pick in Reese's tenure. Missing on Jordan Howard in the fifth round is simply outrageous...

that shit happens, might as well be pissed at not taking Tom Brady.

If they wanted a "star" RB, they would have drafted one high when they had the opportunities. There were other positions they wanted more. Tom Coughlin always split up the carries.

we bitch about not picking a star running back all the while saying that we don't need to pick a star running back. Go figure.

was in 1952. Gifford

you can never have too many playmakers

With Engram and a competent offensive scheme, Gallman will be a star

Hampton was solid. A star? At times sure, beyond that, solid. Imho

He is backup material reminds me of Butch Woolfolk .

Hey, we might get like a conditional 7th round pick in a draft several years later out of it....

Fair enough. Agreed

we passed on Todd fuckin Gurley for Mr. Softee right?

DG draft McCaffery, I can easily see Barkley selected.

Because no one knew what Gurley would play like after a very serious knee injury. Sucks that things have worked out that way but I don't fault the Giants for not taking the risk.

I'm sure you would've drafted a guy who was in physical therapy re-learning how to walk the day of the draft.

This guy is my favorite Giant RB of all time. Reeves ruined him.

Had potential.

was bad all those years. Who knows if those guys become stars with that. You cannot get a clear read on anything not the offensive line on offense because of that. Wilson looked like he couldn't find a hole to run through at times but that could be the offensive line or it could have been him.
