Should have traded down  
ZogZerg : 4/26/2018 8:34 pm : link
But the offense looks good on paper.

Davis Webb better turn into a franchise QB or he won't be such a happy guy going forward
RE: DG does trade down nor does the Giants organization

we need OL tomorrow I would draft two one in the second and one in the third. Comparing this guy to Little David Wilson is a joke.

Davis Webb is garbage. Right now, the eagles have two qbs on their roster better than the Giants. Enjoy this team averaging 18 points a game again.
Better get some O-line help...  
M.S. : 4/26/2018 8:34 pm : link

...for Saquon.

Make that lots of O-line help.
I will say that people criticized Reese for leaking  
Les in TO : 4/26/2018 8:34 pm : link
But everyone has been saying for weeks that this was the pick. So the leakers are still in the org
Barkley  
bc4life : 4/26/2018 8:35 pm : link
will make Eli's life a lot easier. Just puzzled that people do not see how this helps the entire offense. The lack of a running game is what made Eli struggle.
Look, I wanted a QB  
jeff57 : 4/26/2018 8:35 pm : link
But hes really good. Make the best of it
Wow  
Big_Blue_in_the_Bronx : 4/26/2018 8:35 pm : link
Biggest instant impact player in this draft and for this team. At minimum this will make this team extremely explosive next 2 years
Were about to know...  
bw in dc : 4/26/2018 8:35 pm : link
back up the Brinks for schizo OBJ and now we have the 4th highest paid RB. And an overpaid LT.

Go Jints Central! Go!

CoughlinHandsonHips : 4/26/2018 8:35 pm : link
Great player not doubt, but are we gonna be the team spending multiple picks to move up to nab a qb in the near future?

After ten minutes I am more excited

I hope he is fucking nasty. They must feel ok about Webb.
Yes !!!

over building a dynasty. Eli has been half a QB for a few yrs now...
Taking the best player in the draft at #2

is hardly poor value.

Darnold and Saquon in NY. Let's hope DG picked the right guy...and that Eli stays healthy and improves his play.


Improve at 37?
Sure its possible, but his QBR since 2012 has been mediocre to flat out bad.

But he did look good in that second Philly game...

Because people think you have to get a QB if you pick high in the draft.

Seriously cant believe people havent noticed DG talking about the importance of the running game. Shurmur knows it too.
I'm sorry, but The Browns are doing awful

oh well - safe pick

Giants nail a stud that everybody in the football world drools over and somehow this is a problem. It's a done deal, Let's add the next pieces.
The Giants get the consensus best player in the draft  
GiantJake : 4/26/2018 8:37 pm : link
and the next decade is destroyed. I love BBI!!!
Havent been this happy on draft day  
nyballa0891 : 4/26/2018 8:38 pm : link
Since we picked Eli. Looking forward to those bashing this pick eating crow!
Nice move by the Browns here....

Ward is the real deal.

So there 1 for 2.

And the year after, and the year after that - until his rookie contract is up and he bounces around league with teams still trying to find his "ceiling".

Gettleman: We all know he can catch the heck out of the rock. He can pick up the blitz. He's powerful, runs through tackles. ... This kid makes our quarterback better, our line better, our receivers better, our defense better. He's going to be great for our culture.

haha .. the Jets future is now more exciting than the Giants.. you will rue this pick. We all will.


Dont worry man theres plenty of room on the Saquon bandwagon. Just when he breaks his first long run make sure to cheer hard!

The signs were obvious for a while they going to take Barkley if he was there, some people were just doing mental gymnastics to convince themselves otherwise.

I get that, but from any sense of maximising your return on the draft it's the wrong pick. Sorry but it is. He'd have been there at 5. The Browns needed a CB, they didn't need a RB, they didn't need a DE.
Absolute lack of Foresight

dude you are going to have the bitter tears.. in 4 yers when Barkley is a beaten husk and Rosen is winning a championship with another decade to go.. this organization is totally stupid. i am disguted
you want a franchise linchpin when you pick #2  
jintz4life : 4/26/2018 8:39 pm : link
how many running backs actually perform well on their 2nd contract
RE: With Chubb and Nelson on the board, this pick makes no sense.

Both Chubb and Nelson will be perennial All Pros and both fill positions of drastic need. Barkley will be a disappointment. He can't block and he can't break tackles.
Neither of these statements are close to being true.
