With the 1.06 pick, the Giants selected WR Malik Nabers. “You cannot quarrel with that pick,” says Wonder, the NY Giants Draft analyst. Wonder had Nabers as his 5th best player on his board. For me, I am not in love with taking WR that high, given how many needs they have. For our draft analyst and myself, we would have preferred Alt (who went 1.05), or trade down. So trade … [Read more...] about Giants take WR Malik Nabers
2024 NY Giants Draft Recap
The quick summary is that the Giants did well in the 2024 NFL Draft. Did they hit the lights out? If you ask Dan Schneier (someone I respect greatly, he “gets it” about how the NFL works), he is super high on what the Giants did.

Round 3: CB Andru Phillips
Thumbs up from Wonder for the Giants R3 pick of CB Andru Phillips. “Phillips is literally right below, in the next tier, 51-55, from what I evaluated. So when you get him at 3.70 that’s good value. Not a reach by any means. CB is right behind OT and WR in terms of depth and quality in this 2024 Draft. So the Giants benefitted here with a guy they could get in early R3 with R2 … [Read more...] about Round 3: CB Andru Phillips
Draft Part 5: QB 2025+
How can I be happy with Schoen when he took WR in Round 1 and we didn’t get a QB either? Because he has discipline. Discipline is eating properly and avoiding sugar wherever you can. Trading up is Draft sugar. It’s expensive. We know this. Trading up for QB is super expensive. It needs to be done because when you have your sights on a guy that will change your franchise, … [Read more...] about Draft Part 5: QB 2025+
