“Dylan Drummond is getting loads of attention, and the undrafted rookie WR from Eastern Michigan was outstanding once again. Other than Amon-Ra St. Brown being great, Drummond was the best WR on the field for either team.”

That closes the door on the OBJ trade. We still didn't do too badly Dex will be a staple for years to come while OBJ is a shell of his former self.

was pretty damning that the Giants signed two OLBs in recent weeks rather than promote Ximines or Fox. I suspect Fox isn't long for the Giants either.

Thought Fox has a little potential at least as a backup.
These late season PS transactions are all about  
BigBlueNH : 11/30/2023 3:42 pm : link
getting guys under contract for next year, right? We are trying to sell guys like Drummond on the fact they might have a better opportunity to earn a roster spot here, than elsewhere.

Makes sense since we only have 3 WRs plus BFW (on IR) under contract next year.

Yup. Ryder Anderson as well IMO.

I don't know anything about Drummond. He's obviously a long-shot, but as you note, now is the time for the Giants to add to their PS or roster (see Whitley). Shepard, Campbell, Gunner, and maybe Hodgins will also all be gone next year.
Ximines always looked like he was running in mud

But he clearly was not the answer at EDGE. Giants need a brand new EDGE guy (preferably from this Draft) to complement Thibs.

So is ok now to say that picking him over Max Crosby was a mistake?
I don't care if Drummond is

I had on NFL Radio this afternoon. One of the hosts was noting that teams will make moves like this to get young prospects onto the roster and potentially get control of them for years, cheap.

Yes . . . Nick Bosa first edge rusher picked that year, Crosby way down the list in round 4, but he is easily the 2nd best talent at this point. Could even argue he's more of a disrupter than Bosa - maybe . . . Getting his shit together (sober) really helped him.

Ojoulari can kiss my ass too. He should be selling hot tubs because he apparently spends most of his time in them.
Keeping Ximines on the roster this year was weird
