Giants fan here. You have to draft the best player available. We’re so desperate for talent that you can’t pass up an impact player. He gives you a lot of options for rushing the passer, which improves the entire defense.
Interior DL is a huge need - maybe biggest on team. Edge isn’t. Just depends on if you break them out or lump them together.
You're not wrong, right up to it consuming NFL media all summer. You might get a week of discussion out of it, but the NFL news cycle will move on pretty fast. It's not like he's going to fall out of the draft entirely. He'll be a second rounder, probably an early one. That's not exactly a total rejection.
Well, hopefully it will be the biggest story all of next season, that he is a huge bust.
I just disagree. We're not desperate for talent on the DL. We could've addressed legit areas of need or traded down to stockpile some draft value for the pick. Of all the units on the field the DL is the last one that need any kind of improvement.
KC will chose Josh Simmons OT out of OSU, need to solve the OT position,
Agree with you - we aren’t desperate for edge (we are for interior DL) but you can never have too many pass rushers as evidenced by the 2007 and 2011 teams. When you draft for need, you end up with Daniel jones at #6 or John Michael Schmitz as your second round pick. That is why we’ve sucked for a decade.
The draft will eat the NBA playoffs for lunch in the TV ratings. A long draft means more ad revenue.
