Was happy to see the Clemson D linemen go 4, 13, and 17. Dexter Lawrence is a beast. Giants fans should have no issue with that pick.
17. NEW YORK GIANTS (VIA BROWNS): DT DEXTER LAWRENCE This one is surprising because the Giants did not NEED a defensive tackle. Last year’s third-round pick, B.J. Hill, is a star in the making, and 2017 second-rounder Dalvin Tomlinson is quietly on a similar plane. Those two can play 3-technique (between the guard and tackle) or 5-technique (over the tackle) on base downs, with Lawrence occupying the middle as a nose. But that package will only be usable about 20 snaps a game. A few top edge rushers were still on the board, as were all of the defensive backs. Giants GM Dave Gettleman believes in stocking up on D-linemen, but defensive coordinator James Bettcher, who runs a pressure-heavy scheme, can only play with so many at once. And that pressure-heavy scheme can’t work if New York doesn’t have corners and safeties who can cover one-on-one. GRADE: D+
Let's see, it's a dude that has been injured for two years, and failed a drug test for steroids. AND, as said above we didn't need a DT. Sweat was still available. Great GM. Giants said I can't get a refund on season tickets. And unfortunately, the Redskins had a great draft. Well, see you in the top 5 again Draft. BTW must say the draft in Nashville is awesome. Said over 200K people were there....very awesome, so yeah football is dead.
Gawd, the Foreskins drafted another QB. He'll probably sign his contract (with all or most of it guaranteed if he's smart) and then fall down the stairs on the way out and end his career forever. What QB who is in his right mind would come to Washington? This is the place you go to get hurt and end your career. Pittsburg takes a LB. Oh boy!
Hey you could have the one of the highest rated LB's in the draft or the 6th ranked QB...your choice.
They need a replacement for Shazier...he can say what he wants but he’s never going to play football again.
Very unlike them, almost fell out of my chair when it was announced. It was an obvious need with Shazier not there.
I think Haskins is the real deal. Yeah Washington is where you go to get injured, but he could be really good. Not as good as Daniel "#6 Pick who should have gone Day 2" Jones though
Well, he did grow up and go to high school in that area, so he’s essentially coming home to play in front of friends and family. He’s the real deal, as long as he has a line to keep him healthy he will do amazing things.
Gettleman is horrible, absolutely beyond horrible.. when they picked that qb 6th he should have been fired on the spot, Haskins would have been a great pick. That said, Dexter Lawrence is very very good and will be a beast.
Yeap but the 'skins never have a line that does anything much at all. I hope he's the one that breaks the QB curse in DC.
Daniel Jones looks like the actor they'd cast to play Eli Manning in a movie about Peyton Manning's life. @Giants #NFLDraft
Damn....that's about spot-on My wife was at least he looks like a J Crew model, but was like they should have chosen Allen. and she doesn't even like football, but I guess I was talking so much about it, she needed to console me somehow.
If he liked Jones, fine and Dandy, but there is such a thing as predicting what would the other teams would do. No one was choosing Jones by 17, 37, 107. Allen/Sweat would have been a haul. Dexter Lawrence may be good, but The thing is that we don't another DT, especially not in our defensive scheme. We have Tomlinson and BJ Hill (who is also going to be a beast). We need EDGE rushers and we traded the only good one we had. F**k this dude Gettleman. He just wants people to think he's smarter than them.
Oh, they'll still suck, they'll just have a QB. They could have a young Brady and they'd still suck. Why? Dan Snyder.
Yep. Was just talking about that yesterday, and explained that we’d given up season tickets we’d had for 15 years pretty much just because of him...
