How many fired GMs in the history of the NFL have gotten a new head GM job within 6 months of being let go?  I bet this is unprecedented.  Only goes to show how idiotic of an owner we've been saddled with the last few years.  But hey, Hurney was gonna re-sign all his favorite dinner guests, and you can't put a price on family!

I took a quick look at the Giants financial situation.  Looks like in addition to the #2 pick, he will have around 32 mil to play with (assuming he dumps Brandon Marshall).  That's a lot of money to start turning things around.

The Giants have some decent talent.  But they really got hammered with injuries this year.  There is a lot of money sitting on IR.

I think he keeps eli around another year - it will be less painful financially to dump him next year.

OBJ will play out 2018, then walk.  Dave likes his comp picks.  If he could trade him for a 2nd, I bet he does it.

It he uses the 2nd pick on a LT, this place will go apeshit.  That will be entertaining.  If he's smart, he'll draft Eli's eventual replacement.  One thing we know he will not do is trade down, even though that probably makes the most sense.

thank god we let him go before this was even a possibility. 

That i agree.

Prior to the last draft, it seemed Gettleman’s philosophy for his ideal offense was terrible. Didn’t account for athleticism and just accounted freak physical stature.

While he finally gave Cam weapons the last draft, it was late. Then again, he did attempt to build up the defense first and give it a future.

you sure about that?

a position in which we were already razor thin in compared to a stacked position with great rotational players. 

one of the worst secondaries in the NFL in 2016, giving up 300 yards to Julio in a single game and missing the playoffs entirely. 

How's that elite defense working out in Deadskin land?

Gettleman is not even on the market for an entire season and gets hired.  Hurney was on the market for years and not even a sniff of interest.  Ask yourselves why..I’ll say it again, Jerry fired the best thing that happened to this franchise in its entire existence.  Can’t wait till this team is sold to an owner that cares about winning.

100% brother

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
