One of the oddest drafts I have ever seen

eric2425ny : 4/25/2024 11:00 pm
No defensive players taken in the top 10, 6 QB’s in the top 12.

I’m not happy about us not getting a QB, but the Giants had no choice with what the top three teams did. And they clearly valued Nabers above the QB options left.

I thought for sure Nix and/or Penix would slide to late round 1 or even early round 2 and be trade back in possibilities. One went at 8 to the Falcons (apparently Cousins is pissed) and Nix at 12 is kind of insane.

Nabers

would have been the #1 non-QB in a normal draft. He's a superb pick.

Everyone is ticked off because of the QB situation.

Agreed Eric. I like the pick a lot, they did what they had to do. Any other draft one or two of these QB’s would have slid to a place where they could have traded up to get them.

MHJ may take umbrage to that but I get the gist.
What QB situation ?

You mean the one where have the least productive QB in football ? That one ? That is a very minor issue when you are " building the roster "

5-12 seasons are fun !
I'm glad we got a blue chip receiver  
Adam G in Big D : 4/25/2024 11:11 pm : link
vs. a red chip QB. Let's hope Nabors doesn't have any more off the field trouble.

When I say this wasn't a normal draft, I mean it had Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison, Jr. in it.
There is nothing wrong with passing on a QB  
Mike from Ohio : 4/25/2024 11:17 pm : link
If you don’t have them rated as a top QB. The other teams behind them in the draft did see them that way. We will see who was right and who was wrong in a few years.
This is why mock drafts are meaningless.  
81_Great_Dane : 4/25/2024 11:21 pm : link
No mock I saw had both Penix and Nix going top 12

No mock I saw had no defensive prospects taken until 15.

The draft is always wildly unpredictable because outsiders don’t know every team’s scouting reports or draft board.

Daniel Jones, it healthy, will lead the Giants to a 10 win season.
