You could do this for any GM.

Yes.  Yes you could, just as i could have done this to predict which Huddlers would add to the conversation and which are more prone to make some critical comment or demonstrate a lack of understanding of the point.   But if you understand the connection between action and habits of mind, you need to do it for each GM to understand their tendencies.

Sorry buddy.  Not my intent.  I really think the influences will be strong--he was not on a leash before.   Of course, it could mean nothing.

Almost every mock draft on the internet has us picking Derrick Brown (DT Auburn) with pick 7; its been like that for about a month now.  

Only thing is these mocks almost never account for the unpredictability thats going to happen in the top 5 picks. SOMEONE is going to trade up, SOMEONE is going to select an oddball pick. Stuff like that changes everything so don't be so sure were getting a DT. 

Yes, the trades etc. always blow up a draft.  I see Detroit trading out with Miami and someone moving into #5 that destroys every mock.

Knowing Gettleman, I see virtually zero chance that he doesn't pick either an OT or Brown.

He may surprise with Jeudy. Giants WR core is horrid and he needs to win now or he's gone. Their oline is bad, but adding a marvin Harrison type receiver would help that offense tremendously.

@MHS831 he’s gonna draft a QB. Steel yourself to that fact right now. 

I started the Herbert thread---this could be reminiscent to the Clausen Cam (Greir/Herbert or Tua) deal.

Not sure what they are going to do--we will know in March, prolly.

Need? Gentleman doesn't give a damn about need. He overlooked massive obvious needs to take Shaq with TD and Luke on the roster and then did it again the next year taking Butler with Star and KK on the roster.

Nah. Long game. Something Marty has absolutely no clue about. Who’s our only remaining linebacker? 

Butler was a bust but you can’t predict human nature. Plus if an owner tells you to draft a player. What choice do you have?

It's funny how both the pro-Gentleman and the small pro-Hurley crowd always find a way to blame ownership on their poor picks yet always give them full credit for their good picks.

The big thing people aren’t getting with cam is that just because Cam said he’s going to be here doesn’t mean he will. Cam is a very literal person. He believes he will be playing here. The fact that it’s come out that Hurney is desperately trying to shop(Hurney is the laughing stock of the GM class) tells us Tepper wants a QB from this class(horrible QB class). 

And to those that quoted Jennifer Rodriguez(name?) as knowing things is abundantly clear she is getting all her info from Tepper.

Penetrating DT or pass rush is my best guess for DG, but trade back a bit and pickup a stud WR isn't crazy either.

Not at all. NY needs a QB but nobody has factors this into anything. If the owner says I want a QB. Gman will jump.

Shaq was supposed to replace TD. It would take a first round exceptionally talented player to do that. I understand that move.

Butler was taken at the tail end of the 1st, where locks are hardly a guarantee. I think we let the wrong DT walk though with Star.

Both were luxury picks and we did have bigger needs. At least I understand what Gettleman was trying to accomplish. With Marty it always seems like we are 1 or 2 pieces away from a SB run and that's not close to being true.

Shaq was always meant to replace Luke. Either in this event or him moving on to another team.

I don't hold the purge of 2010 against Hurney, and I don't hold the signing of Matt Kalil against DG, I think both of those were forced from ownership.

The rest?  Yeap, falls squarely on their shoulders.
