but he did say he thought fan outrage over Eli might force their hand. He was right on that aspect. I don't like the pick.


so pick a player that outrages the fan base to outweigh the outrage over eli?

solid logic...from a terriblly run organization
I have the feeling the NYG are going to be living in the top 10

For the duration of the DG/Shurmur Era. Jones blows.

Nice job DG for keeping a lid on things....
It makes sense,

don't know if he'll be good but I'll cheer for him to do well. There's a lot more draft to go.
How  
Amtoft : 4/25/2019 9:31 pm : link
can you pass on Josh Allen... I mean fine you want Daniel Jones ... I am glad you like him, but with Josh Allen there?

Only good thing is we had our choice and we took it. No more we need a QB threads either.
So much

I can't even begin to explain this. Josh Allen fell into your laps. Daniel Jones I guess will be a good backup one day perhaps.

And the Jags sprinted up to take him

Fuck off like you've watched a single game Jones played. Why don't you go post on a Jets site instead of wasting your time here trying to convince us that the Jets are a well run organization.
Jets get best player in draft

He apparently had the best pro day of all the QBs by far. He is tough, smart and cool under pressure. I can see the disappointment... But if they had that strong of a conviction I am OK with it. This is not a GM that reaches for a QB.... Otherwise darnold would have been the easy choice.


I’ve watched him play plenty snaps. I’m not an expert but there’s nothing excellent about this guy. He’s average through and through. His ceiling is Alex Smith and that’s being kind

The Giants will probably take another QB at 17

Why not? They've been wasting picks on quarterbacks for years now.
with the 6th pick  
leinad : 4/25/2019 9:33 pm : link
you pass on allen/oliver/bush to add punch to a team desperate for defense to pick a mediocre qb who might be good way down the road. pick smells of desperation by the owners.
it took jax

about ten seconds to pick allen...gettleman you moron.
I hope they don't double down

time will tell
if they took Haskins or Lock and they busted  
bluepepper : 4/25/2019 9:33 pm : link
I could live with it. No one can be sure about these things. But if Daniel Jones busts I won't be able to handle it because I will never not believe that they picked him because they were "comfortable" with him due to the Cutcliffe/Mannings connection.
OK fine,  
Giantophile : 4/25/2019 9:34 pm : link
the Giants love Jones, I don't get it but fine.

How do you justify taking him at 6? He's there at 17. They literally did this so DG can stand up there like a prick and say in his phony boston accent "we had conviction, you don't get cute when you have your guy." They used the 6 pick in the draft so they don't have to answer a tough question to the media.

This is why the Giants are losers.
Thank you  
JonC : 4/25/2019 9:34 pm : link
Bengals.
Welcome and good luck Daniel Jones

Hope you prove the naysayers on this board wrong.

Whatever you want to say about Gettleman, the guy has the courage of his convictions.
Ban me if you want  
oldutican : 4/25/2019 9:34 pm : link
but no way were they going to replace Eli with a black QB. Instead they wanted a guy who will look and act like Eli, even down to having had the same coach. Jones will be no threat to Eli, who will still be starting in 2020 and maybe beyond.
JonC's comments pretty much say this orginization fucking  
Zeke's Alibi : 4/25/2019 9:34 pm : link
stinks from the head. Making football decisions because of fan outrage? John Mara is such a beta cuck it is unbelievable. Must be nice to inherit an NFL team.
I am absolutely stunned that we passed on Josh Allen  
montanagiant : 4/25/2019 9:35 pm : link
For a QB that we most likely could have gotten at 17.
I have backed DG until this move and now he can kiss my ass

People don't understand how bad his team was at Duke, he was the sole reason they were competitive and finished 8-5.


Dude, it's Duke football. Duke teams are bad every year. Jones is trash
I think Jones was the Best QB in this draft but

calm down. Gettleman has a plan. He's going to trade Lauletta for a first round pick.

This. Manning Mafia at its best.
I disagree with the pic however;  
DonnieD89 : 4/25/2019 9:36 pm : link
I am going to root for him and hope that he is a success for my Giants, unlike some people on this board who wish for Barkley to fair. The good news is I don’t have to hear these whiny bastards crying for a quarterback. You got what you want. You better pray the defense is fixed, because there are not going to be impact players if the edge rushers are gone.
Eric, can we archive this thread?

They just had him at 17 versus 6. Clearly the Giants really like Jones to start in 2020

+1

I think this will be seen as a reach but we won't completely regret it. Hopefully there's some upside here because I'm a little worried he's a game manager that you're happy to have on a first contract only type. 6 is rich for that but I respect that they took their guy at 6 and didn't mess around.
My thread disappeared, but info from my asshat:  
Rico : 4/25/2019 9:36 pm : link
He told me it was Jones at the start of the draft. The Giants decided over a week ago.

We tried to trade up to 8 for Allen but he went too quickly.

Looks like we're sitting tight now.
You can't even give DG credit for secrecy  
NoGainDayne : 4/25/2019 9:36 pm : link
Vegas had this.

Just had our asshats fooled.

Definitely a reach doesn't really matter though. If he's right on this guy not going to care that it wasn't exactly a value pick.

If he's wrong however, well what a shitshow of a hire.

bhill410 : 4/25/2019 9:37 pm : link
You draft Jones to lose every game in 2020 so that you are guaranteed to get Lawrence. This is really a brilliant move. Lower talent level all around
Not a surprise. The Manning family already knew the guy.  
SB 42 and 46 and ? : 4/25/2019 9:37 pm : link
Gil Brandt: 2nd rated QB after Murray and 17th ranked of all players.

School: Duke | Year: Junior (RS)
Not a power thrower, Jones is more of a touch passer. He's very tough and a hard worker who wants to get better every day. Jones completed 60.5 percent of his passes in 2018, but was hampered by drops from his receivers. He's very athletic and can run. This well-coached player makes me think of Danny White, who was a quarterback for the Cowboys in the 1980s. Jones has size (6-5 1/8) and 4.7 speed. He's very savvy, and I think he will be a good NFL quarterback. There are lots of things to like about him.


Took too early. DG imitated George Young and just stayed in place, not risking anything.
So  
Joey in VA : 4/25/2019 9:38 pm : link
Here's how I see it. Jones plays for Cutcliffe for 3 years, he attends Manning camps, there has to be a tremendous amount of trust in Eli and David Cutcliffe to make this pick here. I don't on the surface like it, but I didn't like Eli over Big Ben or Rivers along w/ the traded assets and maybe we win more with either one and the extra picks but we have two rings with Eli. Jones played with awful talent, no OL and his WRs dropped tons of passes and he still led a bad Duke team to a winning record. I question his arm, I really do, it's not something I like in a QB when he can't rip it. I'm going to wait, watch and see what happens and hope we're right. I don't think he was the right pick, I really don't but I'm getting on board, because we root for this forking team and I'm sick of hating everything they do.
I just can't get over this  
GiantSteps : 4/25/2019 9:38 pm : link
There's ZERO justification

FUCK DAVE GETTLEMAN, fuck the entire front office, there's no fucking plan. They just dismantled whatever little core this team had and used our #6 pick for a JAG when we could have had Josh Allen. BPA my ass.

Fuck you Gettleman
Everything about the Giants is embarrassing

Relax  
Lines of Scrimmage : 4/25/2019 9:38 pm : link
This was Shurmer's pick. PS has to win this year or next.

If Eli surprises, then great and if not then they go with Jones next year.

Let's give this kid a chance fellas.

Disagree... It should have been Allen. However, I think Haskins has character flaws... The Bengals just passed on DH. I hate the Jones pick, but ur off.
Feels like they basically just punted  
bigbluehoya : 4/25/2019 9:38 pm : link
on the QB class of 2020. We’ve been told up, down, and sideways that Eli is the QB for 2019, and I can’t imagine in my wildest dreams that they’ll take a QB in the first round next year after investing #6 overall this season (and not letting him play).

Honestly, QB at 6 felt like it was truly the only awful answer this year.

I really despise the decisions this organization has been making for the last 3-4 years running. The frustration is beyond words.
