and most of that grade is based on them sitting out this insane market. Add in the pre-FA swap of OV for Zeitler and this has been we played.

If they can get Williams at a price they like, even better.

I expect them to jump back into FA after the first wave to address some holes/depth on defense



That Zeitler trade looks pretty genius right now. Zeitler would probably get 20 million a year if he were available in this market, 12 looks fantastic for the next few years. That’s just slightly above Bobby Hart $$



12 is slightly above 7? Must be the new math.


It's actually 10 this year, 10 next year and 12 in 2021.

Is that the giants solve RT or center here in FA and then just crush the draft and field a flawed but young and hungry defense with the explosive top 7 offense.

JPP figures to be gone in TB with his contract and potentially poor fit in the new scheme. A team like the Colts, Bills, 49ers, Panthers should be trying to get him for a trade back on Day 3.

WR Tyrell Williams
OT Daryl Williams
ER Markus Golden
ER Justin Houston
ER Shaq Barrett
ILB Preston Brown
Joker/ILB Deone Bucannon
CB Desir
A few CBs
FS Earl Thomas III
FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
FS Tre Boston

Wonder if Bettcher is a bit unhappy watching a bunch of guys he could have used go bye bye. I get the cap situation but we really, really needed an edge guy and now (unless its Houston) will be going to the 3rd and 4th tier guys.

Problem is you now need a WR, especially with Shepard entering the last year of his deal and going by some of the WR contracts this year, he's easily getting $10M+ next offseason. And it's reportedly not a very good WR draft.



Hakeem Butler Iowa state, Deebo Samuel could be second round guys?



All on board with trading Odell for San Fran 2 and 36

With those four picks I’d take
1. Quinnen Williams DT
2. Devin White LB
3. Dalton Risner G/T/C
4. Noah Fant TE if he falls. Go to a two TE set with Engram and Fant like the Pats did

Then i could make statements like....

"Daryl Williams will not sign until the new league year opens, teams want to get a look at the knee before he signs." followed by a bunch of ### things.

Instead of, I'm guessing Williams hasn't signed yet because teams want to see how the rehab knee looks. They can't do that until FA officially begins.

The first one sounds like i'm in the know doesn't it.

Can't they get medical records from the player? I'm sure the agents know which Drs a team trusts and could have them do a physical.

This team is not ready for Prime time yet.....there are no great expectations....

If we can get set on the OL, and avoid injuries, this offense will score some points....

We need either a functional RT from free agency(I do not want to be spending big bucks here) or one from the draft.....we need an upgrade over Halapio....why in the world we gave 9M to Pulley, is a head scratcher....

This team is not a contender for a title, but it could be, at least, enjoyable to watch......our defense sucked last year, and yet we lost 8 of 11 by 7 points or less.....Score points, make the other team one dimensional, and make life easier for our defense....maybe even play some meaningful December games....
edge rusher is certainly the biggest hole on the team at the moment  
Eric on Li : 3/12/2019 1:00 pm : link
Daryl Williams would be my first choice for the obvious reasons, that he's young and he has pro bowl ability to solidify the OL for multiple seasons - but i'd imagine there's some urgency to get some edge rushers who fit the scheme in the building. Golden is the most obvious, Shaq Barrett is intriguing. Houston is the most proven but probably too old. I wonder if they'd even gamble on a reclamation project like Shane Ray.

Come on Doomster. They are giving Pulkey 9 million
I read the guarantee was like 2 million. He will get 9 million only if he performs
The only thing in these contracts that mean anything is the guaranteed money

Remmers RT
Nick Perry LB
Golden LB
Boston S
Buchaneon LB

A combo of these should’ve be super expensive, fills holes, and saves the comp pick.

Dan Duggan Retweeted Ian Rapoport

Told the Giants’ interest was mild. Gettleman just not willing to pay for safeties. Keep thinking Giants end up with a cheap vet like Kurt Coleman

So we've gone from a GM who didn't value OL and LBs to one who doesn't value DBs.



I wouldn't say he doesn't value DBs as Jenkins is still here.

Other than Amos, I'm glad he's avoided the other safeties as the only ones I'd even consider giving >$12M per year to are Harrison Smith and Eric Berry and neither are available. Maybe Thomas if he was a few years younger and not coming off a major injury.


DG's stated philosophy is run the ball, stop the run, rush the passer. Of course he doesn't value DBs that highly.

As a JPP fan, despite his big cap hit they really like him in Tampa Bay. He had a strong all-around year. Besides the 12.5 sacks he had 20 QB knockdowns and 16 tackles for losses.

The outlook of this defense would be a little darker without his presence. This, and the fact he outplayed his positional pay ranking in every significant statistical category, make JPP an easy call as a bargain for the 2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

By the end, he was clearly a leader on the field and in the locker room.


Maybe the change in scenery was good for him.

What has Beal shown us to call him a NYG defensive building block..?

Hill, ok maybe. Carter? I'm optimistic about him but he hasn't shown that he is irreplaceable going forward after just one year.. I would argue that we have Zero building blocks on defense and need to get one at 6 so we can build around that player... hard to call three 3rd round picks builidng blocks, after one year in which none of them really dominated.. not that that what was expected of them or of any player taken after the top half of round 1...

Hill was pretty good last year. Carter was solid when he was able to see the field... thought we would see more of him early with OV hurt but we didnt really, but we saw a glimpse or a flash here and there... Beal had what? One practice? Let's not get ahead of ourselves by calling Beal or even Carter a building block. If you want to sip the BJ Hill kool-aid, fine, pour me a cup too. But the fact is, this defense as it currently stands, doesnt have ANY proven playmakers outside of a decling Jack Rabbit.

Devin White. Josh Allen. Nick Bosa. Quinnen Williams. Greedy Williams. Those are what I would call building blocks. And we should probably take one at 6.

I disagree.. Eric berry has played in like 5 of KC's last 30 games or something like that.. they brought in Mathieu so they dont have to keep counting on Berry. They are similar players, versatile yes, but similar and both better suited at strong safety.
