I'm hearing Gabe Davis coming in. In more exciting news... Mike Onwenu is coming in as well... Oddly enough Leonard Williams' agent is looking to see if he can arrange a reunion..

I don’t get Davis  
Breeze_94 : 3/10/2024 8:21 pm : link
Deep WR class. 3 top 50 picks. He’s a #2 at best. And I actually like the player more than a lot of others on here. But he’s not what they need.
If Leonard Williams comes back

Davis has been targeted more than Slayton the past three seasons, that explanation doesn't make sense.

So……..I’m sure Buffalo’s offense was in the field a beck or a lot more than ours

He wants to play RG which is his best position. And he will be paid like the up and coming, just entering his prime guard that be is 15-16m per year. Get it done Schoen, don't play around.
Leo would be pretty sweet at a reasonable price

1000% just make it happen. A new ol coach with a legit right guard anchoring the space next to him could really help Evan Neal turn the corner. At least it gives him the best chance.

Well to be fair, the stats he posted were pretty pertinent. They had dam near equal stats per game with Davis having more targets. He isn't what we need. We need a big fast receiver to play on the outside, not another limited deep threat guy.

So you don't want to sign good players, trade for good players or trade up for a QB. How is the team supposed to get better? You don't want to spend money on big players in free agency, but you don't want to trade for big players at premium positions because of the money. So who are you saving the money for?

We need an Olineman and Onwenu is the best available. We aren't going to find quality starters on the online in the bargain bin. The quality of Olineman is bad in the NFL, if we want a good one we will have to pay

Rudy5757 : 3/10/2024 11:55 pm : link
Which is good to hear. CB seems to be high on the list too. We definitely need a vet back there with all the young kids.

As for Davis, I hope it’s more of a courtesy visit rather than a real high priority unless he wants a Slayton type of deal.

I think it would be sweet to get LW back on a 2 year deal. He was a good player for us. He is on the downward side but he can still be a good player if we sign a fair deal. Plus that 2nd round pick and LW would be nice.

Given how they've drafted under Schoen, I would think so too. I don't see a big UFA add to WR, but the draft makes a ton of sense given the strength of the crop.

Not true at all. I just don't think these are the right moves at this time. I was fine signing Okereke last year. I was also fine trading for Waller, and trading up for Banks and Hyatt.

Trading picks for players hasn't worked out well for the Giants. See Alec Olgetree and B.J. Hill. DG also wanted to trade for Golladay before signing him to that ridiculous contract. He also signed Solder to a contract that was just as bad.

I'm fine trading a third to SD to move up to #5, but no more than that. Most massive trade ups for QBs fail (RGIII, Mitch Trubisky, Trey Lance, Sam Darnold, etc.) I am also not as enamored as others are about this QB class. And after signing to Jones that absurd contract, Schoen IMO hasn't earned the right to trade the draft capital required to get to three.

It's a question of how you think a bad football team like the Giants with holes all over the roster should get better. My view is that they should rebuild first through the draft and signing lesser FAs. Signing expensive FAs and making massive move ups is really for teams that just need a "missing piece" to become SB contenders. That isn't the Giants right now. Remember when Reese signed Harrison, Vernon, and Jenkins? That produced nothing. The team still needed to be rebuilt.
