Who is the ONE player you wish Giants had picked ?

Manny in CA : 4/27/2024 5:14 pm

For me it's Wisconsin RB Braelon Allen who went to the Jets in the 4th round (134th over-all). At 6'2", 240, he's a sledge hammer RB who reminds me a lot of the Packers' AJ Dillon.

Recall, back-in-the-day when Brandon Jacobs filled that role (softening the defensive line) for Ahmad Bradshaw very effectively.

But, as it turns out, I happened to like their 5th round pick (Tyron Tracy) a lot (better than the incumbent, Devin Singletary). Hope things work out.

Late round flyer on guard Christian Mahogany  
bceagle05 : 4/27/2024 5:44 pm : link
Personal reasons because he went to my alma mater, but also the need for OL depth. Snee spoke highly of him, and BC produces a lot of good OL. Oh well.

There's someone that understands the draft isn't about getting the player with the highest score. If Sy were running the team we'd be better off.
JJ...

comes to mind.

Brenson too but both came off earlier than I would have liked.

I know Schoen and Daboll liked him a lot and tried really hard to get him. I just hope he doesn't succeed in NE jk

Was my guy

But we needed any of the 6 QBs in this draft. Epic failure
A starting guard  
David B. : 4/27/2024 6:06 pm : link
But they threw a lot of money at that in FA. Cause that always fixes it.
Mahogany  
Breeze_94 : 4/27/2024 6:25 pm : link
Instead of the LB. I thought they had a good draft though.

3 starters. Possibly a 4th with Johnson. Tracy will also have a role, IMO.

We didn’t even take a flyer on a QB. Amazing.

Aaahh, another genius hot take.....Love the work and info Sy puts in and gives free of charge, but if he were running the team we'd have had Josh Rosen or better yet Dwayne Haskins.

I assume the calculation here was that they'd rather just see how DeVito develops.
Brendan Rice  
RHPeel : 4/27/2024 6:32 pm : link
I was hoping they'd grab him in the 6th.

GrMtWoods : 4/27/2024 6:38 pm : link
in the third round
i was a little bummed at the run on DT and CB  
markky : 4/27/2024 6:38 pm : link
one player I wanted in blue was Ruke O. I think he'll be good in the NFL.

not looking forward to entering the season with our current QB room but I'll have to trust the process.

so I guess the answer to the question is Ruke O.

And the team would be no worse off.You got to take a chance.
Would have moved on from Jones  
Roto_Wizard : 4/27/2024 6:50 pm : link
And taken McCarthy.

But since that didn't seem to be the plan, I'll go with Trey Benson. Wanted a more dynamic backfield to compliment the upgraded receiving core. Lloyd or Wright were available as well.

Oh well.
Any QB.  
Tim in Eternal Blue : 4/27/2024 6:51 pm : link

Just draft one. Brady was drafted in the 6th round. But to not even try. Again.

...with the former OL coach. (what has been the constant with the recent OL failures that resurrected their careers on other teams?)

Give Peace Bacillio a chance!

The Pats drafted two QBs (Maye & Milton).

Why don't the Giants ever draft QBs?

There is no QB pipeline here.
I would have liked a QB anywhere just for hope..  
Kanavis : 4/27/2024 7:28 pm : link
Though I can understand passing on the 3 after 3. Beebee in that case. Our line stinks until proven otherwise. Hoping the FAs and coaching make the difference.

While I think Jones can thrive in this offense, I think McCarthy with be special and Jones’ body will betray him.

Can't believe he dropped to fifth round this guy is a beast reminds me of a Jerome Bettis type power back, native of Nyack NY would have been a perfect fit for NYG.

JJ round 1 and Travis today.

kris jenkins at #47  
Eric on Li : 4/28/2024 10:40 am : link
id swap him for nubin. more premium position. i like nubin but i worry about players who test so poorly. maybe it was the injury but the last guy i remember that early w similar profile was darian thompson.

i think jenkiins would have started next to dex/phillips and helped get defense in pass rush situations. id have just signed micah hyde for s.


I wanted the rb from ND Ladd McConkey  
Paulie Walnuts : 4/28/2024 10:51 am : link
Or Shipley from Clemson


I wanted Penix but not at pick 9
