The right pick

Blue chip talent. McCarthy, while I like him, was not anywhere near blue chip.

Knew you would like it.

Nabers is a VERY exciting player. Now let’s get Penix.

This. Pair him with Penix.

Gotta trade up for him! It can be done.
The sound you hear...

I love the talent

But Daboll has a big red target on his back now.
Belichek was really complimentary of nabers  
Eric on Li : 4/25/2024 8:59 pm : link
i was a jjm guy but the way this all played out im fine with their choice.

they and min tried to move up for maye.

neither tried to move up for jjm.

nyg stayed where they were didnt force a position and took a guy graded really highly by almost everyone. they got a top 3 position player in the draft at a premium position.

So glad they didn’t go for McCarthy.

Daniel Jones lives 🤣🤣😂


Yeah. Let’s hope that’s. It the case. Otherwise, wasted pick for at least two years.

We need a quarterback. A WR is not a primary ball handler.

What are they supposed to do, pick McCarthy even though they obviously didn’t like him. Pick a stud WR and figure out the rest later

Sure, he's electric.

But who the hell is going to throw him the ball?

You are honestly expecting Jones to either improve or stay healthy? REALLY?

Clearly they haven't learned a thing. Get ready for another rough year. Hopefully Drew Lock can step up.


Overreaction. Jones isn’t as bad as you make it. He can get the ball to Nabers. Guy won a WC game throwing to Richie James and Hodgins from the bills p-squad…

then trade back. Team has so many weaknesses.
Good pick  
George : 4/25/2024 9:00 pm : link
I’m not sold on JJM at all. Getting an alpha WR without losing any picks later this week is huge.

I like this.

So that's how everyone has to do it? The Jets got Wilson before Wilson. How'd that work out?
Impressed that Schoen and Co,  
jeff57 : 4/25/2024 9:01 pm : link
Did not cave to the pressure to take a QB. They obviously thought that McCarthy didn’t measure up.
They clearly didn’t love mccarthy  
GiantsFan84 : 4/25/2024 9:01 pm : link
They clearly did their homework on him and didn’t take him. That’s ok. This team needs talent. This guy is legit. Maybe they don’t get a QB for another year or two. It is what it is. You can’t force it if the QBs aren’t good
OBJ was the 13th pick in the draft.  
RDJR : 4/25/2024 9:01 pm : link
Do we really think this kid is going to be better than Odell?
 
christian : 4/25/2024 9:02 pm : link
Nabers and MHJr were pound for pound the best players in the draft.
Alright ...

Everyone Relax : 4/25/2024 9:02 pm : link
hype was a facade? No one is moving to get him. Giants made the right pick. They werent going to fix this team with one pick
I’m all about QB  
AcesUp : 4/25/2024 9:02 pm : link
But you rarely have access to this level of WR prospect. They’re gonna have to be extremely aggressive at QB next year but if Nabers hits the table is set.
Love it

JJ McCarthy

SoZKillA : 4/25/2024 9:03 pm : link
People wanted JJM that bad? He’s another DJ, he’s a 3rd round talent at best.
Thanks Mara...QB Hell  
JoeDonLooney : 4/25/2024 9:03 pm : link
We could have moved down, got multiple #1s maybe and still get a #1WR. This smells of Mara.

Oh, wait a minute, let's get a Rattler or a Pratt or some other mediocre QB later.

Probably top 3 WR prospects over the last decade.
I talked to a ton of Michigan fans today  
ZogZerg : 4/25/2024 9:04 pm : link
And they ALL said JJ is OVERRATED.

So happy we passed on him.

This. I was worried we were going to grab him out of desperation.

I will not be able to read Schoen’s comments, because if he says “weapons for Daniel” or “help Daniel” I am going to kill someone.
Unless We Trade Up For Penix Or Nix  
BlueVinnie : 4/25/2024 9:04 pm : link
get ready for at least 2 more years of shitty football. That is assuming Drew Lock doesn't somehow become a thing.
Great Pick  
Jim in Tampa : 4/25/2024 9:04 pm : link
I much preferred Maye, but I didn't want JJ and my biggest fear was not only would the Giants take McCarthy, but they'd also trade up to do so.

Malik will be exciting and who knows... maybe DJ turns it around in year 6 :>)

(At least we kept all our picks.)
I like our WRs now at least.  
jgambrosio : 4/25/2024 9:04 pm : link
Nabers, wandale, Hyatt, and now we can call slaytons bluff.

Can drew lock be a serviceable QB is the main question. At least good enough to keep DJ on the bench and we see what 2025 offers.
Good pick  
kelly : 4/25/2024 9:04 pm : link
Was not sold on Maye so not disappointed there.

With Wandale and Nabers Jones can continue to throw short passes and let these guys run. Both are very quick and tough.

Now go get a two way TE who can be another short pass option.

Then a RB in the third who can pass protect and catch.

lets see what happens
Maybe you can argue Watkins  
AcesUp : 4/25/2024 9:04 pm : link
But think MHJ and Nabers easily clear top 5 by consensus.

Me too. I have no doubt Schoen did all his homework on possible trades, but sticking and taking Nabers is bold on its own.

Hopefully they somehow trade back in for a QB. Otherwise, a fine weapon for Daniel.
