I had read that the Eagles were hot for Thibideaux and were considering trading for our 6th. So the Giants did get what they wanted and we made the right choice because we had no trade down partner.  I would call that a win - win.

That would have sent him to a division rival.

On one of the recap draft shows they theorized that if the Giants went tackle at 5 someone would have moved up to 6 for KT.

Looking at how it went, had we traded back more than 2-3 slots, we would have missed out ob Thibodeaux and all 3 tackles. For at best a 3rd. Which, magically, we still ended up with by swapping next years 3rd. And got one of the top QB prospects.

Philly had 15 and 18. If they had traded them to us for #6, we would have gotten Penning and Pickett. We didn't Hurney it up.

I think they tried to trade back a couple spots, hoping to get one of the tackles and 3rd.  Its alright, we still got the stud OT and potential QB.

I would have laughed at any team dumb enough to trade up for Thibodeaux.  It points to one of two things.  Either they don't know what they are doing...or they like job security and would have just blamed the coaching staff when the inevitable happens.  "He only had 7 sacks again?  Wow, that's so weird.  Maybe its the coaches and not the player I picked?"

Whatever. I could not be happier with how it worked out. I’m about positive we were dialed in on either Ickey or Neal however it would have played out. And getting Corral in the 3rd is just icing on the cake. 

I thought Rhule and Fitt looked a little subdued  after day one.  They said they asked other teams to trade down and the Giants screwed us taking the DE off the board.  The only thing that saved us was that the QB's dropped way lower than most were expecting.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
