Can Dave Gettleman ever top the new record for extreme idiocy he set last night?

[RetiredCollegeCoach]

WIth a flailing franchise quarterbacked by an aging doofus, with a goofy balding nerd for a backup, with three good quarterbacks* laid before him on a platter in a way he'll never see again, and with the whole world watching, Gettleman picks a running back. A gifted running back, yes, but one whose mechanics put him at unusually high risk for a knee injury - a knee injury that would instantly rob him of his special qualities.

(* plus Josh Allen if you like that kind of thing)

You can book it right now: Giants 3-13 this year. Gettleman fired. Game over.

Meanwhile, we grabbed a young Antonio Brown at #24.

Get down on your knees RIGHT NOW and thank God that he saved you from what Giants fans are about to suffer.

I liked their pick...  He seems like a good guy and a great talent....

What is Gettleman smoking?

[Pantha-kun]

I agree I would have drafted Rosen there personally. 

Who knows how this will work out though. Its looks like Gettleman is playing his cards for the short term win now  philosophy, which could work out if Odell and the defense come back healthy. Giants have had problems with a consistent run game for quite a while. So I think if they get some quality oline guys with the rest of their picks to keep Eli from getting rocked and keep Saquon clean, they could be pretty damn good this year..

So, I think short term, its a very good move.

Good move in my book. QBs aren't stopping in 2018. You get the generational three-down back with the excellent character. 

Injuries can modify/end any player's career. You can't not pick Barkley out of fear-philosophy.

[uncfan888]

Not sure. You top yours with every new thread you make though

With an uncertain OBJ future and Eli's career coming to an end, they are in win now mode and took the best player in the draft. He's a hard working can't miss guy so I don't understand how that's a bad pick compared to a bunch of QB's that have so many concerns and question marks. 

[Shocker]

I think they like Davis Webb who does have a lot of talent.  I'd have gone Chubb there but Gettleman definitely wants to win right now.  I think he is grabbing Hernandez at 34 today.

Stewart will get touches. BARKLEY only had more than 20 carries once last season. 

[Icege]

Spent a 3rd last year on Webb.

RBs were essentially JStew and Gallman.

 

 

You would have to have an irrational hatred for Gettleman or know absolutely nothing about football to be that against the pick.

Barkley’s a true once in a generation back and the Browns screwed up by not taking him first and still getting Mayfield 4th. Was a good pick.

Come on now, those quarterbacks aren't awesome. Take the buppin' blue goose. Now you can wait for a better QB to come along

Oh unless cleveland takes Hernandez, his card for the giants will be turned in so fast

Gettleman really wanted Fournette last year so...
