So that's why we didn't trade down from #8. A bunch of teams were calling us offering negative points!

And that folks is how a real front office operates. I shudder to think how those conversations would’ve turned out if Hurney was fielding those calls.

He might help us find our next pro bowl MLB...

I'd like to think that seeing him working with us might take the sting out of watching him laugh along with the other Buffalo executives at our previous front office's stupidity in that Bills war room video 😖

One other thought: If they do this again next year, it'll include Dan Morgan.

I was about to make a similar comment.  Imagine what this group could do with a full "normal" off-season to prepare for a draft.  Let that sink in for a minute.

Really cool video. Fun to watch the conversations with the guys they drafted, as well as the discussions about Darnold. Watching Rhule and Fitterer go back and forth about the picks was interesting too.

Saw a lot of Matt Allen. I previously thought he might be on his way out, but it definitely doesn't look that way. He seems to be well respected in the organization.

One thing you come away with from the pre-draft discussions: Justin Fields was never in play. Rhule lists the players that they liked at #8 and he's not one of them. Confirms Joe Person's report that our reported interest in him was just a smokescreen to fish for trade offers.

It reiterates what I thought after last year's Draft. This is Rhule's ship, the GM is just helping him pilot it.

Apologies if this has been asked / answered.

Who were Rhule's 4 guys at the Tremble pick? I could make out Brown (I assume Spencer), Browning and of course Tremble.

I couldn't make out the 4th guy?

Tremble, Dyami Brown (WAS), Baron Browning (DEN), Devine Deablo (LVR)

      Pass Rush

      I'd rather not have Burns and draft good edge rushers. He wasn't worth the contract he got for a dude that could only rush the passer and frankly did a terrible job of it for us because whenever he did beat his blocker, he would whiff on the QB. Congrats to him for actually being able to wrap up the QB this year - it's the first time he has consistently been able to do it. The amount of teams that ran right at him while he was with us shows that teams realized he was an undersized edge and could get pushed backwards several yards on run plays. Having Dexter Lawrence next to you helps mask that problem

      I mean, some of y'all keep on saying that, but the fact is is that he is the only Giant feasting. Burns is just better than many of us thought, myself included. Sometimes it just takes guys time to get to the top of their game, that's why I'm going to give our rookies a lot of grace. It might be a couple of years before they hit their stride (though it didn't take Burns that long). But I have been disappointed. Moreover, I suspect that they all might benefit by migrating to  a 4-3 base.  But Burns is what he is. It was ultimately bad timing IMO. After Scott Fitterer failed to take the two firsts, things were destined to go downhill. I think we should've kept Clowney for another year or so more than Burns, but it's all been fûcked up anyway, so nobody was probably going to make that much of a difference.
