It sucks we had to give up next year' 3rd for him, other than that, I'm okay with this flier pick. Yes, a 3rd round QB pick is a flier unless you drafted him to be a backup. As a starter...complete flier pick. *Russell Wilson argument incoming*.

Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble (more of an H-back), Colin Thompson and Stephen Sullivan. If we keep 3 TEs, I'm nearly certain Babicz can beat out Sullivan and Thompson, who we've cut, re-signed and placed on the practice squad numerous times.

Doesn't hurt PSU is Rhule's Ala Mater as well. You know he's all about his connections.

Yes, some of these TDs were very easy, but a couple of catches were tough. This is why I think he will do well. He can catch with ease which Thomas and Tremble seemingly have issue with.

The worst kept secret in this draft was we were taking a tackle if any of the big 3 fell to us. I listen to sports talk radio on the way to work in the morning and literally everyone said tackle was the pick at #6 if still there and the QB talk was mostly smoke out of the Panthers' camp (unless there was a run on OT). When all 3 were there at #5, there was no reason for the Giants to fear someone jumping them at #7. Also, how did they know we preferred Ickey over Neal? We just as well could have drafted Neal. Again, it doesn't make sense, but I'm not complaining because I got my #1 rated player as a Panther. I was just 99% sure Ickey would be gone by #6.

What doesn't make sense is the Giants had their pick of ANY, repeat A-N-Y of the big 3 OTs. We had no interest in a defensive player at #6. So they could have easily taken the tackle of their choice at #5 and came back at #7 and still got Thibadeaux. That's the very reason why EVERYONE was shocked that Ickey fell to us.

THANK YOU GIANTS!!!!!!

Calling it now, Babicz will the UDFA that sticks.

YES!!!!! You all will like this dude. Saw a lot of him when I was watching a ton of Trey Lance tape a couple years ago. I was pissed we didn't take a TE, but this dude can do it all!!!!

I consistently mocked us taking a guard. Mays in one or two of them. Obviously I'm cool with this pick.

Dude was never higher than consensus QB4 in this class. Guess what? The top 3 are gone so Howell should be the next QB off the board. Whether that's tonight or tomorrow, we shall see.

This class was such a mixed bag, but yes, I saw some scouts had Corral as the top guy in the class.

We could use ILB and they are going fast.

I think they liked Corral better than Howell.

ON the clock

Tannehill isn't going to be there forever. However, this is the last pick at QB for future starter hopefuls. When Howell and Corral get taken, they are being taken as backups.

Yeah, now we need Howell drafted somewhere to keep us from doing something stupid.

We would have to be targeting someone to trade up, who would that be?

Corral

Ridder goes before Howell, Willis or Correll.

That's because we are trading Robbie Anderson to them for a 3rd rounder, duh....

Bit of quick history: the last draft to have the first QB taken after pick 19 was 1997 when Jim Druckenmiller was selected 26th overall to the 49ers. Yes, even the horrible 2000 and 2013 QB drafts had guys taken higher.

Eh, the talking heads didn't have me fooled either. I knew a QB to us at #6 was 100% baloney.

If a QB doesn't go to the Steelers, there's a good chance none go in round 1. The rest of the teams are good at QB except maybe the Titans. You don't draft backup QBs in round 1.

C'mon Saints...draft small hands.
