Giants are 3-1. We can make every argument that the talent is bad, blah blah blah, but it's clear as day that we need another receiver to win games against more difficult opponents, and how exactly are we going to give Daniel Jones a fair evaluation when we're giving him dog*** to throw to. Sills/Golladay/Hudson all dropped passes yesterday. I think it's worth a 4th round pick. That's my two cents.

Stop being an idiot. This is not a good team and it should not be trading away any picks for a team that is going nowhere.
Why should the Giants - who are in rebuilding mode - be getting rid of draft picks?
Holy crap guys... think.
they gave up comp picks to sign tyrod and glowinski, though they should still net 2 extra day 3 picks from comp picks next year.
i wouldn't give up anything beyond a late round pick but if there's a player they like there's not much harm in giving up a 6th or a 7th for a player who could play now. the odds of 6ths/7ths making 53 man rosters is only barely better than UDFA's.
to be clear id only be looking at a young player still on a rookie deal (aka a reverse BJ Hill). had the bengals let him walk for that same contract they gave him but via FA they would have actually recouped a higher comp pick than the pick they gave up for him in the first place.
do you think Jones has played well, yes/no/not sure; if you're not sure how are you going to evaluate further?
The biggest decision the franchise has to make over the next year is who is going to be our QB next year and beyond.
If you want to argue that Daboll/Schoen can evaluate regardless of who is at receiver, then make that case and i'll accept it.
But if you're not making that case, then how can we really evaluate him?
The coaches know what they have. They see him every day.
If you start trading away draft picks or future cap space for a short-term fix on a team that is going nowhere, then the Giants are never going to get better.
Remember when Gettleman traded for Price? How did that work out?
We will likely get two compensatory picks next year (fifth and a seventh). Even so, given our lack of depth, I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants trade down again, unless they move up for a QB.
It would also take too long for a WR to learn our offense and be productive.
We have to hope we get something from Wan Dale, KT, and maybe Johnson, Simpleton, or Polk this year. I've given up on Slayton, Sills, and Golladay.
for a younger OK WR who is buried on a depth chart. A guy who could be here for a few years.
I don't know the back ends of rosters like I used to. But I'm thinking of a guy like Scotty Miller from Tampa once their WRs get healthy. He's a UFA after this year so I wouldn't do it for him. But that kind of guy.
Our receivers stink. Go with more tight ends. Run the ball. Play action pass to running backs and tight ends. Play to our strength.
Run blocking. Barkley. Jones running. Tight ends blocking and receiving. Power football
Defenses are now built for basketball on turf. We need to go old school with power football on offense. Run at the 230 pound middle linebackers. Play action pass. Eat up the clock. Grind the light weight defenses down.
worst GM in history. But there are all sorts of trades that occur for decent players for mid to late round picks.
I'm simply putting out an archtype. It doesn't have to be Mims, and maybe Mims is only worth a 6th or a 7th.
But my larger point is, get someone in the door to help Jones. It's ridiculous to run out David Sills and Kenny Golladay (who thankfully is injured) as NFL level targets.
Toney cannot be counted on and Robinson has a bad knee.
Why are we limiting ourselves to just our 4th round pick?

You guys are still living in denial.
This team has just started the rebuild. Most of the offense will likely be replaced in the offseason. We don't have 11 picks like we did last year.
And our 6th round draft pick from this year, would be starting right now if he did blow out his knee.
Every pick matters.
Good news is Schoen disagrees with you guys wanting to get rid of picks. Thank God.
But for example, Zay Jones got traded for a 5th when he was 24 or 25 years old. Or a WR version of Kenyan Drake who got traded for a 6th round pick.
I'm under no illusions about the quality of the team this year but the hole at WR is so big. If we could get someone young who can help and contribute in the future, I'm totally fine giving up a late pick.
Is bringing in someone for free like, I think Anakim said, the Bills WR on the PS. The problem is who do you kick off the roster? Golladay and Toney can't go anywhere. Ritchie James and Sills are not going anywhere. We still have Wan'Dale coming back. So do you add a 6th WR to such a shitty unit? It is gonna take a serious injury to one of these 5 to truly make a move imo. And for those that think Sills and James are replaceable, this is not an easy offense. It will take time for any new WR to learn the O and get on the same page as Jones. Oh, and Slayton restructured to stay. I am not sure of his cap situation if we were to release him. And as has been mentioned, the Giants have under $4 mil of cap space right now and they are trying to make due this year to get by.

schoen cancelled out a 5th round pick for glowinski and a 6th round pick for tyrod so he is not nearly as opposed to paying for bandaids as you seem to think. there were a few non-comp pick eligible OL he could have signed other than glowinski at the same price and not cost himself that pick. and for whatever virtues taylor has he's incredibly injury prone as we saw yesterday.
and if, but if, if they believe in the talent. Maybe not a 4th, but any day 3 pick is really probably less valuable than Mims.
Giants have a bunch of draft pick huggers who think they're getting massive contribution from day 3 picks. Not just the Giants but historically those picks are not very successful - very low rate of success.
Mims is 24 years old, but people here clutch their 5th and 6th round picks like an old lady on the subway clutching her purse. and then they hope the Giants use that pick on a player who has the talent of Mims (drafted in the 2nd round, but hasn't put it together yet).
If you don't believe in the talent then obviously no price is worth it.

they can IR golladay. it sounds like daboll said he may not be 'day to day'.
i agree btw that finding a vet somewhere is the best path. supposedly they were in on beasley and he's still just PS. maybe they get him to spring in a few weeks when godwin and evans are fully back.
Our only hope now is what a healthy Robinson or Toney can bring to the offense.
So, pretty grim
If AT, SB, LW, DJ, Dex, and McKinney stay healthy and Toney and Wandale figure it out by end of year this team could actually make some noise. The odds of that happening are practically slim to none though.

PJ, there are two big differences that you are ignoring. One, he gets paid a fair amount and we have no cap space. Two, any rookie gets 4 years. Mims has less than 2 years left. Why is Mims any less risky than a day 3 pick next year? So, keeping the pick saves money and gives you more years on the player. And I like Mims but we have to be realistic. He suffers from drops like Slayton.

There needs to be a legit reason to IR. He's playing now so how can we IR him? The NFLPA will fight that.

exactly right - i also dont have a strong feeling on whether mims is the right guy, but he fits the profile of who they should look at. the saints only got a 5th for chauncey gardner johnson and he is a legitimate starter level player, so the mims types shouldn't cost more than a 6th or 7th. we are basically talking about another team's version of slayton.

he hurt his knee yesterday. here was daboll's comment on him today:
Quote:
Q: Can you go over some of the other injuries like (tackle) Evan Neal and (wide receiver Kenny) Golladay and (safety) Julian (Love) and the list goes on and on it seems.
A: Evan Neal should be okay. Golladay – we’ll see how it goes towards the end of the week. I’d say it doesn’t look promising. Who was the other one?

The problem with that is the Jets are not letting him go for that. Mims wants out. They are like fuck you. Remember Adams? He wanted out amd the Jets said no until the Seahawks overpaid. The Jets are just gonna keep him the next two years. Nobody is giving up anything of significance for him. If released, I'd be all over him.

But how hurt? Day to day isn't soemthing you can justify keeping him on IR all year now with the new rules.

What if the Giants were 5-3 at the trading deadline and a good WR1 or 2 was available? Do you make that trade?
for a conditional 6th or 7th is not pushing your chips to the center of the table.
it could be considered a value play if you are diciplined about it.
I don't know much about mims, or his personality or ability, so i am only speaking in hypothetical. But if they liked a guy guy coming out and you can get him for a cpl years on the cheap it is worth investigating.
If it is a legit reason, I think you'll see Giants fans doing
if an invisible player gets injured in the middle of a forrest and nobody is around to see it, did he really get injured?
with the new IR-R rules I'd imagine it's a little more lax. if it's already not looking good for this week it seems pretty benign to try to find another roster spot at the position.
but honestly roster spots arent the issue. slayton can get cut tomorrow if they have someone better. they were willing to cut him week 1 if he didnt take the pay cut.

I think you are mixing two thing. Hypothetically, I agree but this hypothetical isn't the same as what is. The Jets are not letting him go for cheap and he's not worth paying much for. Like Eric is pointing out, we need to have a long term vision with this team. Going all in on Golladay as our savior did nothing but set us back.
I was on the treadmill earlier & remembered that our starting left tackle has more TD catches than the $18 million dollar man or the dude we drafted in the 1st in '21. Good God.
Holy crap guys... think.

why would you ever want to not try to trade for good young players if another team is fortunate enough to have enough depth to shop them? and that does happen from time to time - it did with BJ Hill last year and a couple years before that Wyatt Teller.

He and Slayton can work vertically with Toney/Robinson in the slot. Not great but at least that group would have some potential to get separation.
they can IR golladay. it sounds like daboll said he may not be 'day to day'.

exactly right - i also dont have a strong feeling on whether mims is the right guy, but he fits the profile of who they should look at. the saints only got a 5th for chauncey gardner johnson and he is a legitimate starter level player, so the mims types shouldn't cost more than a 6th or 7th. we are basically talking about another team's version of slayton.

Is bringing in someone for free like, I think Anakim said, the Bills WR on the PS. The problem is who do you kick off the roster? Golladay and Toney can't go anywhere. Ritchie James and Sills are not going anywhere. We still have Wan'Dale coming back. So do you add a 6th WR to such a shitty unit? It is gonna take a serious injury to one of these 5 to truly make a move imo. And for those that think Sills and James are replaceable, this is not an easy offense. It will take time for any new WR to learn the O and get on the same page as Jones. Oh, and Slayton restructured to stay. I am not sure of his cap situation if we were to release him. And as has been mentioned, the Giants have under $4 mil of cap space right now and they are trying to make due this year to get by.
they can IR golladay. it sounds like daboll said he may not be 'day to day'.
i agree btw that finding a vet somewhere is the best path. supposedly they were in on beasley and he's still just PS. maybe they get him to spring in a few weeks when godwin and evans are fully back.
There needs to be a legit reason to IR. He's playing now so how can we IR him? The NFLPA will fight that.
he hurt his knee yesterday. here was daboll's comment on him today:
A: Evan Neal should be okay. Golladay – we’ll see how it goes towards the end of the week. I’d say it doesn’t look promising. Who was the other one?

and if, but if, if they believe in the talent. Maybe not a 4th, but any day 3 pick is really probably less valuable than Mims.
Giants have a bunch of draft pick huggers who think they're getting massive contribution from day 3 picks. Not just the Giants but historically those picks are not very successful - very low rate of success.

The problem with that is the Jets are not letting him go for that. Mims wants out. They are like fuck you. Remember Adams? He wanted out amd the Jets said no until the Seahawks overpaid. The Jets are just gonna keep him the next two years. Nobody is giving up anything of significance for him. If released, I'd be all over him.

Q: Can you go over some of the other injuries like (tackle) Evan Neal and (wide receiver Kenny) Golladay and (safety) Julian (Love) and the list goes on and on it seems.
A: Evan Neal should be okay. Golladay – we’ll see how it goes towards the end of the week. I’d say it doesn’t look promising. Who was the other one?
But how hurt? Day to day isn't soemthing you can justify keeping him on IR all year now with the new rules.

do you think Jones has played well, yes/no/not sure; if you're not sure how are you going to evaluate further?
The biggest decision the franchise has to make over the next year is who is going to be our QB next year and beyond.
If you want to argue that Daboll/Schoen can evaluate regardless of who is at receiver, then make that case and i'll accept it.
But if you're not making that case, then how can we really evaluate him?
The coaches know what they have. They see him every day.
If you start trading away draft picks or future cap space for a short-term fix on a team that is going nowhere, then the Giants are never going to get better.
Remember when Gettleman traded for Price? How did that work out?
What if the Giants were 5-3 at the trading deadline and a good WR1 or 2 was available? Do you make that trade?
it could be considered a value play if you are diciplined about it.
I don't know much about mims, or his personality or ability, so i am only speaking in hypothetical. But if they liked a guy guy coming out and you can get him for a cpl years on the cheap it is worth investigating.
And, with all due respect to Wink, because we have played against 3 teams that are in the bottom 4 of the NFL in terms of Offense (yards/per game)...
if an invisible player gets injured in the middle of a forrest and nobody is around to see it, did he really get injured?
with the new IR-R rules I'd imagine it's a little more lax. if it's already not looking good for this week it seems pretty benign to try to find another roster spot at the position.
but honestly roster spots arent the issue. slayton can get cut tomorrow if they have someone better. they were willing to cut him week 1 if he didnt take the pay cut.

I think you are mixing two thing. Hypothetically, I agree but this hypothetical isn't the same as what is. The Jets are not letting him go for cheap and he's not worth paying much for. Like Eric is pointing out, we need to have a long term vision with this team. Going all in on Golladay as our savior did nothing but set us back.
