I am expecting a swing at a QB... we haven't drafted a QB in forever. In three years with Schoen we take zero QBs... NE takes two this draft... you have to take some shots at the most important position at some point. It is so stupid and I am sick of this.



QB? What is the point of taking a QB that has no chance at playing? NE had three QBs and not one of them could play...this team has so many holes that position players might actually make the team. A QB to grab a QB is useless.


You are assuming DJ doesn't have a setback. Lock is garbage, Devito isn't an NFL QB, and in 3 years you can't take one chance on a QB? You can't get that?

I could see Pratt being picked. If he gets into the 7th round, GIants could trade in for a 2025 6th rounder.
I didn’t have any issues with Giants selections today…

Other than this one. There was a LOT of talent still on the board - and we use our final selection on an undersized LB who is a special teamer? Why??

We don't have a 2025 6th round. I would have loved a swing at Pratt.

Wasting a pick... really? In the 6th round they are wasting a pick? All picks could be wasted at this point, but at least they are trying to upgrade the most important position and not just their STs

a miracle turnaround performance, Jones is gone after this year. The fact that the Giants literally tried to "give up the farm" to NE for Maye shows that they know he isn't the answer. Whether that is because of his overall lackluster performance or extensive injury history, or both, is irrelevant. The overwhelming likelihood is that this is his last season with the Giants.

If Lock has any success, he will be resigned to a two year deal and become a "bridge starter" while the Giants look for a franchise QB.

DeVito will stay as the #3 until he is a FA and then leave.

Milton's only real attribute right now is his ability to throw the ball into the next zip code. Pratt looks like a journeyman backup, a better version of Kyle Lauletta IMO. DeVito has a stronger arm than Pratt and has been in the system for a year. It's reasonable to conclude that for those reasons he's a better option than Pratt.

The only real risk Schoen took was not drafting JJM. If he becomes a franchise QB, then yes, that obviously is a big strike against Schoen and his staff since they had a chance to draft him without giving up any draft capital or players.

I am not so much mad at the player, but not one QB in 3 years of draft even though they have a QB who is injure prone coming off an ACL and his second neck injury? At some point we have to try and draft a QB. It is so frustrating to be a Giants fan and we are literally the only team that want even try drafting a QB.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand anyone knocking picks from five on down. Everyone says the draft is a crapshoot. It is, quite literally, the biggest of all crap shoots in the later rounds. These are lottery ticket players IMO.

The videos of past all pros, drafted in these later rounds throw fire on fan expectations. That and, every year, people get attached to their guys. That’s just human nature. The abundance of highlight videos with virtually no lowlight comparison doesn’t help either.

I am 100% with you on the QB thing. The Giants are in QB hell. But, is picking a QB, who will likely be available as a UDFA in the 5th or 6th round, really a smart investment over taking a flier on a player who could fill a need someplace else?

What if Muasau gets cut and Milton or Pratt turn into something. Don't get me wrong chances are Muasau has a better chance to make an impact than either of those guys, but the difference is if Milton or Pratt turn into something a little something that is a cheap backup for a position on average pays over 8 Million for a backup. While ST players like Coughlin and Carter are league min guys. Look I like this draft... I just wanted a swing because it feels like they are scared to take a QB and be wrong. You have to try at some point.

We can play that game all day.

What if Pratt and Milton are just training camp fodder, cut and signed to the Giants practice squad?

Point is, QBs taken this late rarely amount to much. Tom Brady was the exception.

The Giants signed some good guards in free agency to pretty good money. Those guys are going to be way better than any players they could have found in rounds 4-7. They also have Ezeudu who was a 3rd round pick. Neal was a 1st round pick.

Have to let those guys show something before you overdraft more linemen.

The new kickoff rules caused almost every team who had picks in Round 6 and 7 to draft Special Teams contributors. Not to mention it is not like Micah McFadden or Darian Beavers have established themselves next to Bobby Okereke.
