This take has the advantage of being literally irrefutable—we’ll never know.
Juice Scruggs, a much inferior prospect to JMS, went a couple of picks later. I think there’s no way JMS would have been there for us at our current 3rd spot.
doesn't make it a fact. He does a good job, but the idolatry for him here is out of control. He had Torrence as a top 10 pick. He didn't go until the end of round 2.
Very tactical,dull and basically 100% what the Giants need. The Shaun O'Hara of Daniel Jones. It's amazing how good your quarterback looks when your center is not a doofus

57) NYG: John Michael-Schmitz - OC/Minnesota
A guy many thought they would reach for in Rd 1 - they get ideal value for in round 2. Has a clear path to being a starter week 1 which also helps the depth at OG by keeping Bredeson available there. Will be staple at OC for years
Biggest need on the team. Instant starter and upgrade at C. If you wanted a pure C which I did, this is the guy. This is a move that will improve the whole offense. Feliciano was terrible last year so even average play improves the whole OL.
Solid unspectacular pick that was necessary.
RE: Smarten up. The dividends this Center could play out will make
So the Giants got Daniel Jones J.M. Schmitz Insurance. It's now Jones' turn to hug Joe Shoen.
The Giants already have 12 WRs on the roster, but not a single reasonable starting Center. Those WRs should also be hugging Shoen. Now they may be able to run more than 10yd routes.
Many here have been lamenting the inattention past GMs have paid to that position group. Those days are over.
This. Eli never got his 3rd crack at a run because of the OL neglect. Was running on fumes for SB 46 and the tank has been empty since outside of Andrew Thomas. Jury still out on Neal and I believe Ezeudu will be at worst a swing tacke.
This man is serious and should be around a long time
No guarantee of that. This guy has to win a job. He could get Jones killed if you start him right away.
You're right. He probably sucks. Giants FO doesn't know what they are doing. They are clearly behind the 8-ball on player evaluation. Especially in the draft. I wish they would hire some BBI'ers already. For Crissakes.
Why?
He's a better run blocker than pass blocker.

I think Schmitz was Bpa there we got lucky he lasted
Winner winner chicken dinner!
I like the pick, and although you don’t draft hungry, we were starving and emaciated at center.

He did. His agent (Jeremiah Sirles) played for Daboll in Buffalo. Sirles also played Center...lol

Collectively, the list, as a whole, looks like a hole. Lol
Finally, this regime understands you can't just shove anyone (don't sleep on Pio?) in as center and hope for the best.
Senior Bowl Spotlight: Center John Michael Schmitz, Minnesota - ( New Window )
So anyone who disagrees with you about a draft pick and preferred another player is dumb?
Interesting take.
It’s football, not ISO. Wake up people.

Exactly. The "remote throw" posts are bizarre.

Disaster.
Giants take Schmitz

But we NOW have a C.

The Maras are never going to live down that medium Pepsi fiasco. Nor should they.
Many here have been lamenting the inattention past GMs have paid to that position group. Those days are over.
Under this regime - 2 1st round tackles and a 2nd round center.
Last time that happened we got Pugh, Flowers, and Weston Richburg.

A mighty core it was.
But we NOW have a C.
Not to mention, OL, particularly Cs, have a productive longevity into their 30s, some near 40
meant to add, at 6'4", he can add weight.
WR is the pick. Hyatt.
Can I call myself an asshat for a week?

Giants need to add another IOL this draft and a couple in UDFA.
Getting a stud at RG can certainly help the cause. O'Hara had Snee and Suebert next to him.
I'm hoping Bredesen replaces Glowinski. There's enough time to aclimate from left to right if it starts now.
