Anyone else just ignoring the draft debates?

Bramton1 : 2/26/2020 12:32 pm
Of course, completely ignoring it all is impossible. But I'm trying to tune it out the best I can.

The last two drafts were exhausting. In 2018, it was Saquon or Darnold? In 2019, it was QB or Allen? This year, it's stay at 4 or trade down?

I can't do it this year. We've already had nearly two months of debating on this topic, and there are two more months to go. I just... can't.

I think I'll start worrying about this in early to mid April. I won't really miss anything. Until then, I can enjoy free agency, spring training, my family.
it's too early to get caught up on it

free agency happens first and that can dramatically change who they should draft
I don't pay attention

to all the mocks and stuff. It's all nonsense. This guy says they need to draft this player. That guys says they need to draft that player. The other guy says they need to trade up. The next guy says they need to trade down. They all suck.
None of know anything

The experts barely know anything, they get more wrong than right. If their were a way to know how hard someone is going to work AFTER their bank account has well over 6 figures in it, things would be easier.

I am hoping they find a way to RUN the fucking ball. Draft, FA or both. When we have a guy who can legitimately score from anywhere on the field when you hand him the ball and you don't open big holes for him the franchise is stupid.

I think I like Becton but who the fuck am I? I just want someone on the opposing defensive line to disappear on few running plays a game. I think Becton will destroy some people. This will lead to game changing plays. Barkley can score on any play he hits the second level untouched. We do not get him there enough.
I am 100% on the opposite side of the coin

on this one.

I love the draft -the debates-the round and round.

Sadly I like the off season now-a-days even more than the regular season b/c the off season offers something the regular season doesn't...hope.
How can you not like the draft debates?

Everyone is an expert this time of year. people are still trying to come up with every possibly scenario where the Giants get Young. It keeps the offseason entertaining.
Yup

Occasionally check in on trade down scenario threads but that’s it.
I read them but I don't lose any sleep over them.

There's no way to know, at this time, what's going to happen. Maybe right before the draft things get a little clearer, but even on draft day there are always surprises.

But it's fun to watch everybody argue over it.
I'll tune in when the date gets closer...

But the draft is in what, 2 months? That's a ways off.

I agree, and like some other posters pointed out, how the team does in free agency can change their strategy heading into the draft. Free agency is the more immediate. I'll worry about that first

I love watching the combine, and then draft week coverage leading up to Thursday. Everything else aside from that seems like constant "fill in" coverage where these guys are just trying to make up time to talk about draft stuff
The offseason is all there really is anymore

until the team finds its way again.

I agree. Also the poster that has to list their mock draft. To me it's all irrelevant. Wake me when the first pick of the draft is about to be announced.
too much time and

emotional currency goes into the process. And mostly you're not going to get the players you become vested in anyway.
All of these debates are just filler  
lawguy9801 : 2/26/2020 3:14 pm : link
It's two-plus months until the draft and writers and pundits need to fill column space and TV time. I'll start paying attention more closely the week of the draft.
There is going to be 4,987 mock drafts and 10,000 opinions before  
Jack Stroud : 2/26/2020 3:18 pm : link
the draft, so just wait until draft day and enjoy it!
i've gotten out of it over the years  
mattlawson : 2/26/2020 3:50 pm : link
i have friends that are WAY into it, but i find it exhausting and havent thought about it for quite a while.
It’s just so far away.  
Vin_Cuccs : 2/26/2020 5:35 pm : link
We still have upwards of two months until the draft. Not to mention, free agency. Team needs will be altered drastically depending on signings.
last year jumped the shark to me.  
mittenedman : 2/26/2020 6:19 pm : link
the reaction to the Daniel Jones pick - everybody's Todd McShay now. Can't even wait and see how it plays out. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Oh wait, he's good...)
