Specifically, the Giants are sending the 39th overall pick, along with the 2015 fifth-rounder to Carolina, for Brian Burns. New York still has the 47th pick, which it landed from Seattle in the Leonard Williams trade.
That’s the type of player and position you pay for and let’s face it, salaries are only going up. Nice trade….hoping both he and KT form a formidable duo! We owe the NFC East.
This shuts me up real quick. This was probably the only move on D that could shut me up and kudos to the giants and Schoen. They got the guy we needed.
From the Leonard Williams trade through McK, it all makes so much more sense now.
do think this makes a trade up for a QB somewhat less likely, if only because we have less draft ammunition. It might also not be necessary since with the Falcons signing Cousins, Minnesota, Denver, and Las Vegas are the only teams with a realistic chance of jumping ahead of us. And they would have to offer a ton just to get to #5.
there will be good players available, cost of a trade up would be like a 4th if there is someone so good they need to move up.
Yeah I guess so, I just really love the WRs in rd2 and at 47 instead of 39 we could miss out on say Troy Franklin and Adonai Mitchell, but I'd be happy to settle for Xavier Leggette as I have thr strongest gut feeling for him out of the 3 and I think XL will go 3rd out of that bunch and likely be there at pick 47.
But we walk away with a legit edge, 2 upgrades on the OL and a competent RB. Honestly, not a bad day given the 2 big losses. We’re probably still in the running for comp picks next offseason too.
is the greatest... and one is that you can get some amazing inside deal info before it actually happens!!! And as a bonus, the guy who owns the site is one of the most knowledgeable Giants football fan around!

I don't think we are a 30 million dollar a year player away from competing but whatever. He is a damn good player and I hope he can continue to improve

Ordinarily yes, but the trade compensation is significantly below what the comps say and we needed to seriously upgrade our pass rush. Where we are in the draft it looked like the sweet spot for pass rushers was more in the 15-25 area which means also losing out on a QB.
Makes me less salty about losing good players earlier
Can win with stop gaps and can’t build with it either
Build with building blocks and the dl is now a big one

Finally.
I...I...think we're gonna be...ok?
Still one domino left to fall.

Panthers board on reddit is LIVID about the compensation. They legit thought 1st and 3rd
rumor was 47
If he managed to hold onto the higher 2 it kinda feels like a masterstroke...
We didn't. We traded 39 for Burns
Dam that hurts.

To Panthers: Pick No. 39 and a
2025 fifth rounder
Also a fifth-round pick swap, per source.

2nd and 5th
Seems like a good deal for a perennial pro bowler that is at a position of need & is only 25.
and $150,000,000 😂

It'll be less than that. That's the max value. Still a ton of money, but stud pass rushers like him don't typically hit free agency.
100% agree
That's for future Joe Schoen to figure out lol

Hope not, that pick is the Giants starting OG.
longer than Thibs.

Probably right. Giants have a bad habit of letting good draft choices walk after their rookie contract.

Just curious, why did you add Coughlin? I know he signed, but what value Do you see he brings? Is he that good on ST?
We had to make this kind of move, especially on defense. Love it. LOVE IT!
It's a pass rusher vs RB and Safety. This trade-off - if you will - shouldn't be close in your mind.
our #39 in second round.

He may be gone while Brian Burns is still here.
and "sexy" on that same line...
And even slowed down the whining on BBI.
LOL
Great move!

Yes, obviously.
Very good special teamer. Good guy. Been around for awhile and just generally happy to see him back when it looked like he wouldn’t be.
Looking at that site, I pray Eric never changes the BBI format. I think I’m fucking blind after looking at that stupid website.

You're not just getting a player. You're making your players better.
