New York Giants: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State Grade: F Finally, a bust! This was a highly-criticized and surprising pick at the time for the Giants, who just missed out on the two guys they wanted, Leonard Floyd and Jack Conklin. GM Jerry Reese, being the boomer he is, passed on Laremy Tunsil because of the devil’s lettuce and took Apple instead. I envision his thinking process: “Eli Manning… Big Apple… Eli Apple! It was meant to be!” Wrong. Apple was a disaster for the Giants, being torched routinely and proving all the haters right. After just 2 seasons of poor play, NY shipped him to the Saints for a 4th round pick, where he didn’t fare better at all. In 2021, he is still a terrible player for the Bengals and is the liability of their defense whenever he is on the field. |
I think for Tunsil it wasn’t just the weed, it was that crazy gas mask that compounded the possible ‘ oddity’ of Tunsil.
Grade: B-
Coming out of Ole Miss, Evan Engram was an athletic phenom at the TE position and not far behind O.J. Howard as the highest ranked TE in the class. So far, he has been a decent weapon for the Giants who is a mismatch for LBs trying to cover him and big enough to give DBs problems. However, the reason this is not a higher grade is because Engram has had a serious issue with his hands thus far. He seems to commit drops in the most critical moments of the game, which may be an indication that he folds under pressure. If this is the case, it’s a fixable problem. He’s put up decent production for the Giants and Daniel Jones, and this has the potential to be a better grade in the future. The jury is still not out on this pick, but so far it has been just fine.
Grade: F
...and now we get to more busts! Everyone in the media was taken aback by this pick because Josh Garnett appeared in approximately zero mock drafts and got no hype in the leadup to the draft. From Day 1, Garnett was athletically overmatched in the NFL and a liability whenever he took the field blocking for the radical SJW lunatic at QB who shall not be named. Unfortunately, there’s really not much to say about this pick, as Garnett was a boring bust. He was simply not NFL caliber and was quickly out of the league. So, I’ll use this space to blast Madden about including Unnamed Social Justice Warrior as a free agent in the new game. WTF?!?!?! This seems like an effort to appease losers on Twitter, but who cares what they think? He clearly does not want to play anymore, as he’d rather make more money as a radical, corrupt activist making racist Netflix documentaries. So if he doesn’t play football anymore… why is he in the game? Not only that--he’s fucking 81 OVERALL. 81. In other words, Madden considers him to be a top 20 QB in the NFL right now… after 5 years of not playing a down. Does a solid starting QB get benched for Blaine Gabbert, cut after the season, and remain unsigned for 5 years? Maybe on Planet Woke, but not on Earth.

That's a rough thread to read, unfortunately BBI nailed that pick.
If things go haywire just make a deal and get out of the pick and regroup with your remaining board. Don't risk value where it ain't, create it.
Lord, we have sucked at drafting for a long time...

Always love memory lane threads.
Some great takes in there...
