What about "not quitting on talent"? Says Gettleman: "I believe that fully. But quitting on talent is when you cut a player or get marginal value in return. That did not happen here."

Gettleman says Giants got two first round picks and a third-round pick for Beckham.
LOL the 3rd rounder is basically a 4th rounder. Cool Dave.
This is not a good take and so many people parrot it. Is an early 3rd basically a 2nd rounder?
Never understood why it's always the late picks that are "basically" the next round, but the early rounders from the next round are never basically the earlier round.
all depends on the picture you want to paint.
A 3rd round pick is a 3rd round pick. Period. Yes, some are later than others, but none a "basically" 4th round picks.

It's the same thing as the bullshit Eli is a 39 year old QB and Odell is a 26 year old receiver - despite the fact Eli will be 38 for the entirety of the Season and Odell will be 27 mid season; but whatever serves the purpose of the argument is what people will go with.

Behind DG, I was a fan of the hire, I like what he's done and I like what he's doing. He's getting rid of the rot and making the culture what he thinks it should be. This isn't an overnight fix, we had a locker room full of big mouths and dopes and guys who put themselves over the team on multiple occasions. He wants guys who want to play football first and tweet second or third or not at all. Every single player we have traded away or cut has been a me first type, look at me type and that doesn't get it done in football unless the talent is overwhelming and it isn't.
Reese and Ross gutted the OL, ignored RBs and just marveled at the basketball on grass idea and we had a soft flimsy roster because of it. This is and always will be a physical game for big men and we didn't have enough size, grit or toughness. Now the diva is gone, the lawyer is gone, the "humble" my ass 21 is gone and pouty moody Vernon is gone. In their place is a tenacious WR who is physical in all aspects, a RG in the top 5 of the league who plays with an edge and a young promising S who looks to be versatile, talented and smart. Throw in Markus Golden, who has had some rough years but clearly has talent and was beloved in AZ and you see what he's doing.
Last year he adds Barkley, Hernandez, Hill, and Carter, 3 sure fire starting caliber players at RB, LG and DE and a big fast OLB who should be starting in year 2. He has 12 picks this year and he's going to keep building and I can't wait to watch it unfold.
He's used one trade to address one of these issues (running the ball), and will use the additional draft capital to address the other two issues. And Peppers is an improvement over Collins at a much lower cost. Reese either couldn't identify talent at the Line of Scrimmage or he didn't care about it.
It's not DG's job to tell them who he's going to draft or sign.

It's the 95th pick and there are a few conditional draft picks after ours. Is there a huge difference between this being a 3rd rounder and 4th round draft pick. NO.

Reese and Ross gutted the OL, ignored RBs and just marveled at the basketball on grass idea and we had a soft flimsy roster because of it.

Last year he adds Barkley, Hernandez, Hill, and Carter, 3 sure fire starting caliber players at RB, LG and DE and a big fast OLB who should be starting in year 2. He has 12 picks this year and he's going to keep building and I can't wait to watch it unfold.
