I feel they most likely edited out any QB discussions at 8 (or moving up).

Interesting at 6:11 of the vid when Rhule listed the players they liked, that FIELDS was NOT one of them.

It's probable they edited out any QB discussion, but it's also clear from the clips surrounding the acquisition of Sam Darnold that they a) bought into the age thing and b) compared him to the QBs coming out in the draft. They are all in on Darnold. Let's hope that was the right decision.

The other name you didn't see at all was Rashawn Slater...

The Teddy Bridgewater trade stuff was interesting as well. Tepper and Rhule both make comments to George Patton that they wanted to do right by Teddy. I'm sure that makes Teddy's recent comments sting all the more.

I also really hope they let George Patton know there were cameras rolling during the call.

For the folks who are familiar with the stadium… where was the Draft Room located?  At one point it looked like one of the club lounges.  Anybody know for sure?  

It may have been.

Possible they might have needed more space than usual for social distancing.

Other sources actually confirmed there was no quarterback discussion.

The feigned interest in Fields was fishing for trade offers.

Start watching a little after two minutes in.

what a whiff... haha. 

At the same time, Bills traded ahead of us in Beane's first year to draft Zae Jones.. they really thought they outsmarted us. We ended up with Curtis Samuel. If I remember correclty Zae was our target, funny how things work out.

Even decent GMs like Beane get it wrong.

Beane was also the one who initiated the Kelvin Benjamin trade.

People think it was our idea. It wasn't.

They could have waited, and we paid a lot for him to leave...but of course they were going to say that, they knew they were on camera.

Hate that thread.  

I'd have to agree that story looks pretty bogus now.

They were also on the phone with George Paton so I don't really think that talk was just for the cameras.

More to the point though, they didn't just talk about it. They actually did do right by him.

      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.
