Yup.
DJ's tie being askew

Tells me he was as shocked as anyone to go #6. Glad Gettleman made the pick though, think he'll have a great career.

I'll admit I was right there with you. It was a good reminder that I don't know crap about scouting these guys.
anyone see the video of him throwing earlier this off season?  
Dave on the UWS : 4/9/2020 9:56 am : link
His legs look thicker, and there was plenty of zip on the out throws. His career will be fun to watch as he develops. I was thinking, is he the most talented QB Garrett has had to work with? Romo started as an UDFA, Dak a fourth rounder. Jones is bigger than both, faster, and I think more accurate.
I was shocked at the pick but not a hater. I kept hearing pick  
Blue21 : 4/9/2020 10:10 am : link
17 potentially and how great Haskins was and Edge rusher etc. But I always felt I'd reserve my judgement until we saw him. So far, I love the pick.

All of his felt that way. No shame in it. I am so glad we were all wrong. I absolutely LOVE our qb. He can make any throw and makes a TON of smart accurate throws. Line gets slightly better, JJ and staff (which I think is very well assembled) will teach him to hold the ball higher = all pro, top 5 in the league. He has it and will be.
Thanks for this

Was skeptical on it at first, but I didn't understand why talking heads and fans who never saw him play were blowing a gasket. It was over the top and childish.
I knew the Giants knew something  
Rolyrock : 4/9/2020 10:47 am : link
We didn't. I glad they got. He's our franchise QB.
What was so attractive  
mittenedman : 4/9/2020 10:52 am : link
about Jones was the work ethic. It's not how good the guy is going to be when he walks in the door, it's how much he's going to continue to improve after he gets handed millions of dollars.

Jones has a tireless work ethic and he cares about being a great NFL QB, and he is going to IMPROVE or die trying.

That - packaged with the physical traits - is what made him such a great prospect.
Is the link

and think how quickly we've be re-conditioned by the virus?
I was not happy with the pick, but I think DJ will be ok.  
RDJR : 4/9/2020 12:10 pm : link
Josh Allen would have been a great pick. If we had gone with Allen we would be picking a QB on the 23rd which wouldn't be the worse thing in the world.
I think the comparison to Herbert  
Chip : 4/9/2020 1:31 pm : link
will be as strong as Haskins. The Allen and Herbert vs Jones and ???. I would pick Becton or whatever the trade brings if it happens.
After the pick...  
rnargi : 4/9/2020 1:58 pm : link
I was thinking I misheard...my actual thought was, "Jones? Who is Daniel Jones? Is he rated as a higher DE than Allen?" I just thought it HAD to be Allen when he dropped to the spot. QB had gone right out of my head
Didn't hate the pick  
Matt M. : 4/9/2020 2:08 pm : link
Initially, I thought we could have waited to take him at 17. But, that seems like it wasn't likely. I liked a lot of what I read about Jones leading up to the draft and there was no other QB besides Murray who I wanted. This will be an interesting QB class to judge, with this year being a big one toward that end.
The pick gave me cognitive dissonance  
Coach Red Beaulieu : 4/9/2020 2:21 pm : link
with Allen sitting there.

DJ8 was throwing to a bunch of slow midget neurosurgeon receivers at Duke.

I think its still TBD. The turnovers are insane. I full expect him to turn some of them around, but until they are, his status is TBD in my book.
I wanted Josh Allen too  
David B. : 4/9/2020 3:33 pm : link
But then I started doing some research, and listening to what Cutcliffe was saying about him in those longer interviews -- saying he was Peyton with legs, with Eli's demeanor and I started getting excited. And I started to see EXACTLY why the Giants wanted him, for both his on-the-field smarts and athleticism, and his off-field demeanor, which IS pretty much just like Eli. Boring as hell. The more I dug into it, the more sense it made.

If he cleans up the fumbles (which he will), he has a chance to be terrific.

But the Giants still need an OT to protect him. ESPECIALLY if WSH gets Chase Young.


I liked the pick  
BigBlueNH : 4/9/2020 6:50 pm : link
because I'm a UVA guy and watch a fair bit of ACC football. It was abundantly clear that the rest of his offense was awful and he alone was carrying that team. Trying to compare him and Haskins was like apples and oranges - one played with a roster of NFL hopefuls; the other played with a bunch of guys who didn't belong on a college football field. And he put up alot of points with those bums.
It was hard to evaluate D. Jones cause his supporting cast  
SGMen : 4/9/2020 9:05 pm : link
sucked so bad he never had a chance to shine. I mean, if he was starting for Clemson he may have gone #1 or #2 at worst.
