DG's Six Critical Factors

BillT : 4/28/2020 7:49 pm
In his interview on the FAN with Joe and Evan DG explained what they look at in draft picks and identified six critical factors. Thought it was interesting and hadn't seen it mentioned.

1) Are they athletic
2) Are they instinctive
3) Do they have strength
4) Are they explosive
5) Do they complete
6) Do they have play speed

Gives us (me) amateurs some idea of their thinking and criteria.

should it be "Do they compete?" or "Do they complete the play?" i.e. play through to the whistle.

3) did they score “looney” in our 400 question test
4) remember to come up with something for 4
5) are the the JPP of something
6) will I look super smart if they turn out to be good
7) how do I get this thing to stop making numbered lists

Being bright and know what they are doing must be one

It is common among all the draftees.

Obviously comes across in the interviews

Are you the son of a former Giants?
Did you recover from a life threatening condition?
Do you have photos of the owners?
I doubt this current FO and coaching crew would have

selected Mario Manningham, even though he was a very good value at the end of round 3.

Supposedly Reese's and Coughlin's guys vetted Mario on his visual learning skill on a chalkboard, since he appeared to have trouble reading.
