Since 1970, Only Twice Defensive Player not chosen by 6th

Rich_Houston_1971 : 4/19/2024 3:02 pm
Pick. 1999 Champ Bailey chosen 7th, and in 2021 Jacyee Horn 8th.

With that being said, the odds are over a 54-year span say if the Giants stay at 6, they are taking a defensive player and I think that will be Dallas Turner.

I just wanted to make this a separate post because this is a glaring irrefutable statistic, and Giants always go BPA.

No, Just doing pure research. Also, there were some major busts in the top 6 on offense for 1999 and 2021 drafts.

The research shows human nature is going to play a role for the Giants if they stay at 6. The research shows if 5 Offensive players are chosen..chances are Giants will draft defense. There is precedence when Carl Banks and Gary Jeter was drafted with similar drafts like this one.
I also check the Draft back to 1960 and at least one defensive player

and there has never been a draft with four QBs going in a row to start the day.

New era.

The past means nothing with respect to this draft.
Going back to 1960

How many posts started basically pushing the sane pick and narrative- by the same poster? Your other post wasn't good enough to add this knowledge gem?

I respectfully disagree Eric, I don't think 4 QB are going to go in a row to match the value of those top 5 pick slots.

Just saying the sheer math of that draft fact deserved a separrate post.

The only way the Giants go defense in round one is with a trade down.

You're just going to have to accept that.

Make sure to get that data to Schoen so he can consult it to realize he has to take a defensive player if we stay at 6.
Good God

What a dumb post. I'm not exactly sure how you came to conclusion that past drafts have an impact on this one. Makes no sense at all.
We get it. You want Dallas Turner  
Big Rick in FL : 4/19/2024 3:52 pm : link
Unfortunately for you the chances of the Giants drafting him are very small.

Even if they traded back I doubt they draft him. They just drafted Kayvon 5th overall 2 years ago and then they just traded a 2nd & 5th round pick + gave a massive deal to Burns.

I hope schoen does read this posts and sees the case history and outcome.
Speaking of defensive players

I watched a number of Jared Verse highlights and am I the only one that gets a bit of a Michael Strahan/Jason Pierre-Paul vibe from him?

6'4" 260lbs

I think he would be quite the asset if we did trade down some from 6 and went defense. *Not saying do that, just if we did do that.
Verse looks like a great rusher too  
Rich_Houston_1971 : 4/19/2024 4:06 pm : link
I have not seen many of his games..but i do know DT, watxhed bama every Saturday. He had a very explosive first step
How many Dallas Turner threads  
Mike from Ohio : 4/19/2024 4:59 pm : link
are you planning on starting today?
I think that those who expect the first six or seven picks  
Reese's Pieces : 4/19/2024 7:01 pm : link
to be QB or WR will be surprised. The amateurs usually focus in on the same players for the top ten. But the teams have been independently evaluating players for two or three years, and one will fall in love with a lineman and are afraid to give even the small chance of someone taking him ahead of them.

For teams like the Giants, the addition of one more pass rusher/playmaker will put their "D" in the top ten.

interesting stuff

But ZERO chance we draft defense at 6.
