This is a really good draft. We got a dominant DT, a shutdown corner, and our future QB. According to SY we got the the #2 QB, #2 DT, and #2 CB.
For all you bitching about value, does it really matter if we picked Lawrence then Jones, rather than Jones then Lawrence? Lets be honest, Jones and Lawrence have just as much a chance to be All-Pro's as Haskins and Allen, in fact I like them better. So did DG.
We filled all the positions people wanted to get (so far) with top players. So the "flavor" may not be what some of you youtube experts wanted, so what. These are top players in a pretty strong draft.
I do too. Keep in mind that this is a longterm thing he's trying to build. We also have a ton of cap in 2020 and possibly another high pick. We will get pass rushers.
The defensive backfield has me excited right now. By passing on Allen they are putting a lot on Lorenzo Carter taking it to the next level
Beal
Baker
Grant
Chandler
Some good young players there that can grow together as a unit.
4th (T) 85
11th (T) 83
27th (T) 80
Overall ranked players.
85 = immediate Starter, franchise player
80-84 = First round talent, starter
How do you count both Beal and Baker as starters? Is Jenkins going to the bench, to the slot or getting traded? The likelihood is that one of the 2 young guys will be on the bench this year.
Instead, I'm immediately tortured with Dave Brown flashbacks.
Brown 6'6"
Jones 6'5"
Brown Duke QBR 120
Jones Duke QBR 122
I'm REALLY hoping that extra 2 translates to about a 500 times better QB than Dave Brown.
Brown #17
Jones - I'm not superstitious, but for the love of God, please don't pick 17.

I love the Lawrence pick, don’t know enough about Baker but I’m glad they’re going defense outside Jones
Jones, hoping DG is right.
The Giants spent 5 picks and only got one player who fits that criteria.
Time will tell as always
