Pat Shurmur on picking 6th: #NYG want “best player on the board at that time. If they do fit a need, that’s ideal.”
My take: It’s almost certain in this draft that 6th-best player will be a defensive player. We’ll see...
Really reaching with this one.
She's more plugged in than most, the Beckham thing doesn't change that.

There is no QB rated in the top 10 for BPA. In fact the last rankings I have seen have QB's at 13 (Murray), 20 (Haskins), 23 Lock, and 35 (Jones).
1. Bosa
2. R. Williams
3. J. Allen
4. E. Oliver
5. Sweat (perhaps...)
Assuming Bosa and Allen are gone, if R. Williams is there at 6 how can you not just jump up and down with joy?
If we were to draft two solid defensive players (R. Williams, C. Ferrel) in the first round you'd have to be very happy. You can never have enough pass rushers.

Says Who?
Have you seen the Giants big board.
Stop with this nonsense that the ratings you list are used by all teams.
Lying season and misdirection at work.
Thanks

Yeah, but...her emotional investment in the OBJ story (and in OBJ in general) could reasonably be described as weird
The pass rush remains a major deficiency. The signing of Golden is a replacement for Vernon but hardly constitutes a solution to the problem. The team lacks sufficient cap space to sign any pass rushers of consequence but its not clear there is anyone else still out there.
75 percent chance that the #6 pick is a DL/ER. Maybe White at LB but probably not
Can't completely discount Haskins but the chess pieces tell
me the pick is going to be a defensive player.
How does DG defend the Lauletta pick? He sure didn’t appear to be BPA.

As DG said last year we will take the BPAs that fall to the g Giants in the draft. Just like last year. No need picks.

Actually, according to both DG and PS, he was.

That's great, but people can't seem to get over it. It has nothing to do with anything else she's done which has for the most part been of high quality.
This particular "report" sounds like her opinion based on Shurmurs comments, coupled with the amount of high quality defensive players that will be available and our awful pass rush.
About this time last year some also thought that Chubb was being ranked over Barkley.

to me that any team would ever disclose anything truthfully in terms of their personnel decision intentions

Let's hope. Sometimes I doubt this regime's ability to be savvy.

I don't think that's reasonable at all. Kim's been covering the team for years. The job of being a beat writer requires building relationships with people. That's how you actually get people to talk to you. She had a working relationship with the Yankees when she covered them too. And she has the same working relationship with Saquon Barkley given that she covered his career heavily.

Positive Beckham would not be traded
Was just thinking this.
Yeah, but so was nearly everybody else.
I'm assuming Bosa, Allen, Quinnen Williams are all off the board, and assuming that Arizona is going to take Murray.

Says who? Some make believe scout?
None of these mock drafts, website rankings or player lists matter. Last year, every year, we see players picked much higher and lower than what the make believe scouts predicted. BBI hysteria ensues. Lessons never learned. Rinse and repeat.
Baker mayfield says hi. He wasn’t even on the radar yet this time last year. Now he’s firmly established as the former first pick who has more production and potential than any other qb drafted last year.
See my last post
No way they are going two offensive players in the first round.

I am not sure which is the worst of those scenarios:
1) Replacing Eli who is even worse
2) Not getting a defensive player or RT
3) Getting a raw WR at pick 6 due to a combine performance

I don’t ever recall her (and really can’t think of any other writers/media people) tweeting emotional missives to a recently traded player for any NY team in any sport the way she did with OBJ
Does that include saying Yes to your proposal??
;)
Hey, maybe we'll go all Al Davis and take a K
She should play Roulette
And then she will write a story about how nice those defensive players who didn't get drafted were to her.

Is your issue with it that it happened so publicly?
Jay Glazer and Michael Strahan were best friends when he was an active player. Strahan certainly fed Glazer stories when he wrote for the Post. Glazer wrote Strahan's book with him and presented him at the hall of fame.
Media personalities and players are close all the time. When you're a regular beat writer you're essentially co-workers.

I’ve always been a Kim Jones fan. I really appreciated how emotional she was over the Paterno/Penn State issue, as a proud Penn State alum she loves the place, but didn’t blindly defend it either.
I just found the way she boldly guaranteed OBJ wouldn’t be traded, then got so emotional when it happened kinda weird, that’s all.
I would love if they did. When is the last time in the top 10 they picked a defensive player? Was that Cedric Jones?

Odell is not getting traded...
Agree, means nothing.

2016
p.s.--Kim Jones is not a scout and unlike her sources, she doesn't even play one on TV. So she is making a presumptuous (dare I say arrogant?) statement based on the opinions of people who are in it for clickbait, not in it to build an actual football team.
The majority of people you will find that have graded out the prospects of this draft have the top 6 players consisting of almost entirely defensive players.
There's really nothing to take away from this tweet - it wasn't meant to be a prediction.
Good?
