If there's one sporting event in all of sports that I'd love to have full access to its the draft and it's not even close. Just to be a fly on the wall and watch it all unfold.
Great watch  
The Dude : 5/10/2022 6:41 pm : link
I’ve noticed Schoen is pretty open with the media when he made his rounds this week(similar grades on Neal/Ikey, why not take thibs at 5) and this is a great inside look

He repeatedly brings up that they had 6 players (which was reported). Still wonder what trade proposals looked like at 7, and 5 which is shown in the video him declining It.

Could be a great start to establishing a new identity and new leadership within the team.

Neal, man it's hard not to be excited about the guy. Don't want to jinx it but it's hard to see a guy with his mind, body, and attitude failing.

I cannot agree more. In fact, if I could work in that environment, that process of selecting players, moving around, being part of the whole show would be amazing.

On a separate note and not to pile on to someone (or a group of people) but, you truly do see a different level of professionalism with this group than with Gettleman and Judge. The Clown show part at the end of last year is starting to appear to have been for far longer. Schoen's control of the room, the process, the way he speaks and the way he presents what they are doing, want to do and why they are doing it is so far and above what we had become used to over the last 4 years.

Time will tell on where things go BUT, I actually feel good about things because of what I have witnessed and not what I was being sold two years ago.

Couple thoughts  
Go Terps : 5/10/2022 6:56 pm : link
One thing that made me feel good about our first round picks was seeing that Dallas had our guys ranked 1 and 2 on their board. Dallas has been as good as anyone in identifying top shelf talent; that's good validation there.

Watching the video - is there a unit of measurement to adequately capture the difference between listening to Schoen and Brown talk vs. Gettleman?
After seeing Schoen give a pound to Petit...

I am thinking Stingley, Walker, or Ickey. I just can’t decide who. From what the Giants were looking for in OL I think Neal would have still been the pick even if Ickey was still on the board. Schoen’s comment about Carolina taking Ickey appeared to be more of his toying with media.

it had to be Stingley  
Eric on Li : 5/10/2022 8:24 pm : link
he acknowledged they had Icky/Neal even at T (which is why they went edge #5).

there's no way it was Hutchinson or Sauce.

So it's either Stingley or Walker. I think I actually preferred Stingley to Walker but the way Walker shot up boards post-combine would make that pretty surprising.

Dont forget Stingley could have been part medical - which is the biggest takeaway at the combine.

it was pretty clear - ill look up the transcript but they asked him why he picked Neal #7 and he answered plainly "because Icky was gone" and then went on to explain they had them side by side. I actually thought he kind of implied they may have picked Icky if he was there just since he didnt say "evan was our OT1".

I have whatever you call the football version of a hard-on.

I dunno what the other prospects NYG interviewed had to say on their interview responses, but I’d be willing to bet none were better than KT and Neal.

KT with his illustration about the past. Neal unable to provide anything he doesn’t like about football. Just awesome stuff.

I think I’ll go stare at the depth chart some more with these two guys in place and dream about next season.

correct that's exactly how it reads.

but isn't it convention to say the guy you picked was your OT1? Isn't saying anything except "evan was our top tackle" an admission he may not have been?

they could have been side by side but if Carolina picked someone else they would have had to pick 1 of them and that answer doesn't make me think it was definitely going to be Neal.
This is awesome  
strahan92 : 5/10/2022 8:46 pm : link
Great looks behind the scenes. We're in good hands, and I'm psyched for Thibs and Neal. I'm glad we got Kayvon over Sauce; he is exactly what Big Blue needs. Neal is a bad man too.

Brandon Brown is incredible. He couldn't contain his excitement for the UDFA process. It's going to be a good era of Giants football.

that's true, but once he said they were side by side, he had to go with the second answer.....im surprised he didn't say Neal was their OT1 too....its actually kind of refreshing.
I happened to prefer Ekwonu to Neal...  
Milton : 5/10/2022 9:06 pm : link

That’s my immediate reaction too. I’ve been harsh on Mara et al lately, but feels like they hired a smart guy in Schoen, and have empowered him to hire other smart guys to surround him. They seem to have a good feel for how the process works…especially working together with the coaches, not having competing agendas

All talk until we start winning games, but cautiously optimistic Mara and company made the right changes so far.

Yup. I interpreted as if Neal was picked by Panthers, Schoen would be happy to pick Ickey. It’s just in this case it was Neal to us.
Based on Giants beat reporters, I think Neal was OT1 but very close margin.
They had zoom call with Neal a week before and Daboll connection to Saban and Alabama could’ve been huge.
Definitely Cross OT1 is misdirection by Schoen and Giants. Great work by Schoen.

I don’t expect the Giants to be a good team this year, but I expect them to at least be a fun team to watch.

Our excitement is rooted in the off-season. That said, this was well done. It is clear the Giants have a plan. There are some parallels between things we are seeing and things buffalo did. Buffalo of course hit with Josh Allen, which is huge, but they have been successful.

My hope is in 2022 the Giants are competitive and enjoyable to watch.

There is cause for optimism, but just remember, the Giants are aware of the criticism and this was a heavily-edited production. They are not going to show the family members speaking up (if they did at all).
Giants marketing and social media  
Biteymax22 : 5/11/2022 9:22 am : link
Were the biggest winners of this offseason by far.

Imagine being hired to a job where you're asked to make the decision making and future of your company look good, yet the guy you have to highlight is Dave Gettleman. On top of being a horrible GM, he put his foot in his mouth every time he talked, was snotty with reporters and overall disliked around the league.

Now walks in the new guy. Young, intelligent, good looking and an overall humble demeanor, pair him with a coach that isn't in a full fledged pep talk every time he opens his mouth and all the sudden you have a pair you can be proud to display to the fan base.

The cherry on top is your first pick, Kayvon Thibodeaux, who is yet to prove himself on the field, but still has proven he can provide good sound bites and be a compelling focus for all types of marketing content, it helps he plays a premium position.


I would venture to guess that our social media team has had the ability to put these videos together for years but there was always a "do we really want to highlight these guys?" question lingering.
I am assuming that Stingley is the guy we didnt want  
Rudy5757 : 5/11/2022 9:49 am : link
if we had 3 at 5 we liked, 1 out of the top 4 was not in the top 6. Cross was definitely not in the top 6 since Schoen said later that he had Icky and neal the same.

It has to be Stingley or Walker. Stingley maybe for medicals and possibly Walker because maybe they dont see him as a true edge and more of a 3/4 DE.

Thibs had character concerns. He seems like an outgoing, smart guy.


This interview Schmelk did pre-draft with Matt Miller ended up holding up very well. He actually mocked Thibodeaux to the giants at 5.

when talking about Thibodeaux he said he heard directly from a GM who was far enough down that they weren't going to get Thibodeaux, that the concern was that he does care about his offield brand but their team was comfortable with it and had him on their board because there was no question about his character or football character beyond that. Which seems to be exactly how the new york giants viewed it.

in general this is a really interesting pre-draft podcast to listen to because Miller really had everything pegged. He had Thibs/Cross to nyg in round 1 then had them looking corner in round 2 with Elam, Booth, McCreary. Which is basically exactly how things played out.

Schoen and Brown are both very impressive in this video. Let's hope the results are the same.
Really fun to watch that

beat, love threads is this. I’ll wait to see how all the gushing reviews read inthe gloom of winter. One thing i’ve learned in these years is that the Giants are guaranteed to break your heart.


Just curious, did you feel this way while you were celebrating the 4 Super Bowl championships?

I know this last decade has sucked, but come one...we have had a least a few non-heartbreak seasons:). You want heartbreak, go talk to a Jets fan, Browns fan, Lions fan....or a Viking fan...very underrated franchise in the heartbreak category!

how about Bills fans, Bengals fans, Bears fans, Charger fans, Jaguar fans, Texans fans, Chiefs fans until 3 yrs ago, this could go on.

Yeah, it's been bad for 10 years, but the Giants are still the only team to have won a SB in each of the last 4 decades. And we still have time to make it 5.
This was refreshing to watch

This sounds fantastic. And a very big breath of fresh air other than “gold jacket” “best players” etc. they really feel like they have players they like who are talented (esp Thib and Neal) that fit what they want to do. Whether we agree with picks or see some as “reaches”, they have a plan on how to utilize these guys
