I know a lot of the talk has been how dumb the trade for Williams was, and I get the argument considering his free agency status at the end of the season. However, looking back at the Giants recent history of 3rd round picks you can see it hasn’t been great. In fact, it’s been pretty poor across the board. At least with Williams you know you are getting a solid player. And although he hasn’t lived up to the hype he had coming out of college, he has upgraded the Giants run defense since the trade, and he is more of a sure thing going forward than any player the Giants would’ve drafted in the 3rd round this upcoming draft.
but my god the decade before that. WOW....thats literally not a single quality player. reese was HORRIBLE outside of round 1
wasnt ximenes like a 4 or 5?
Just a friendly reminder, Hill was just recently benched, Carter hasn't progressed at all this season, and Ximines is an incomplete.
Let's see how these third round picks look a year from now.
The Giants need better production out of the 3rd round, regardless of who the GM is.

Ximines went in the 3rd round, 95th overall.

Agreed. Aside from the last two years, which are still unknown, that is atrocious.
Not saying that, just making a point that having a third round pick this upcoming draft doesn’t automatically mean the Giants would’ve drafted a good player.

Doesn’t mean they wouldn’t have. Especially if they had a new GM
1000% false.
At worst he's solid depth.
Anyone rationalizing that trade is an imbecile. The Jets weren't going to franchise him, so they could have easily had him in the off-season for just money. Instead if they want him for 2020 he will have cost them a pick in the 60's plus a ton of money.
that's the logic?
The Giants 2nd and 3rd might have put the Giants back in 20s to get another higher likelihood good player.
Past failure isn't an excuse for current.
I'd rather have that pick, maybe get one of the very good receivers in this deep draft, and pay that salary instead of the wasted money on LW.
It was a brutally idiotic trade by a GM who should be fired before Shurmur.

+1 great point. High 3rd rounders are great capital to move up in the first or even late in the 2nd round. This trade was just incredibly awful
Grady Jarret is an incredibly close comp in terms of age and production, and he signed for 4/68 with 38 fully guaranteed last season.
If Williams is tagged as an exclusive rights franchise player, depending on his position designation, he'll make between 16-18M.
Do you feel Williams is a markedly less valuable player?
Obviously if you don't, then trading for him was idiotic from the jump. And if you do believe trading picks to secure those rights makes sense, then you're expecting to pony up Jarrett money and then some - for a player tagged in the OP as a 'solid player'.
I wouldn't bet any money on that if I were you.
You sure?

Williams will get nowhere near 16 million per season... You just make shit up as you go along.. Anything to fit your pathetic narrative.

“I know that I want to get a big contract, and I know that I am worth a lot,” Williams said, adding that it’s “definitely a logical possibility" that he will test free agency.
The only way he doesn't test FA is if the giants overpay for him, a horrible move by a horrible GM.
Regardless of what you think of Reese, DG is a disaster and should not be given the opportunity to blow another off-season with his erratic approach to rebuilding on the fly. The OL is worse than last year. The 2018 draft looks much worse today than it did 4 months ago. The coaches he hired have failed to improve the team. The free agents are with only 1-2 exceptions all bad moves and the trades are incomprehensible for a team that is rebuilding. By all means keep DG and let some of us older fans wonder if we will be around to see the Giants as a legitimate contender again.
