I assume you like our draft overall?

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.

Yep. The Jets were a key player here, too. 
 

 

Agreed. It was a smart play.

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.
