Gettleman!!!

Good picks. Love was a steal. The Baker pick while costing a draft pick gets a first rounder ergo and extra year before he says bye bye(If he does) Had Collins been a first rounder he'd still be with us for another season.

Want to know which one was a bad one?


If he turns out to be a bad pick that DG made at 6, then he'd be a bad pick at 17 too.   

But if he's good, no one will care that we took him with 6. 

Just imagine DG drafted Lawrence with the 6 and Jones with the 17. You'll sleep better.

Actually I was taking Allen at 6 and an OL at 17. Jones probably would have still been there for our 2nd rounder. Or trade back into the first and get him like we did baker. Although I'd rather have Baker. But like I've said, I hope I'm wrong about the kid. Been wrong before bro.

I just don't think he lasts to 37.   Its a gamble and why would you gamble if you like the guy to be your franchise QB?

While I don't think he's the kind of talent to be taken 6th if the Giants truly believed he was their guy, they had to take him there.

.

Bingo! And generally, the people who actually work in the NFL know more than radio personalities and the apes who copy and post their opinions here.

We would need to know particulars on which teams may have been interested in moving up to 6.

Anyone at 7-10?

How about 11-16?

There are so many variables in there that if they believed Jones was their guy (a separate argument is whether his talent justifies that), they had to take him.

Right. If you think your QB of the future is sitting for you at 6, you take him. If you think Jones is your QB of the future, that is a different issue.

Well...just to make the discussiona bit more in depth...

No.  Part of GMs job on draft day is figuring what other teams are about to do.

Thus.... 

If the team at 11 is offering something substantial to move to 6 it then behooves you to do a mock on 6-10.  Also of course figuring who might deal up to 7-10 to get Jones

Smart money says Gettleman was too concerned Redskins wanted Jones and that is enough for the backers of Gettleman and the naysayers to strongly debate.
Or... could be nobody was dealing up (hard to believe) and of course Gettleman then had just 2 moves - take Jones or be Ok losing him before 17

I'm just glad all these 1st round QBs are finding homes for the next 3-5 years, that may open the door a little when Bama and Clemson QBs are ready to come out '20 and '21 and Brady may decide its time to finally pass the torch.

The worst teams in the league will always include one or two teams that need QBs. Lack of quality QB is usually one of the reasons you are drafting in the top 10.

I think Tua's NFL potential is vastly overrated, but Lawrence is the real deal.

Of the two I like Lawrence a lot more, but Tua is a pretty decent pro prospect, and IMO would have been the #1 if he had come out this year.

Jones will work and he will improve, and he will be ready when his time comes. Book it.
