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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
