Darrisaw made too much sense there.

For the record, I am criticizing Devonta Smith because we just made him a top 10 pick.  Every aspect of him that deviates from perfection deserves to be dissected.

I'm fine with the pick overall, given the way the board broke.

I liked Waddle better, but I'd take the 1st.

Exactly this. I haven’t seen a single person in here crying or overly complaining. You bring up concerns about drafting an outlier at #10 and it’s "everyone jus wantz to be miserable!!!!” 
 

He was the fourth of who I wanted out of Waddle, Horn and Surtain. But the board went worst case scenario for them. And I’m out of likes.

The Colts taking BPA in Paye makes sense, but man not giving a guy like Wentz a LT is recipe for a disaster. 

Maybe they’ll signed Jason peters..... 

Kind of shocked they didn’t go darrisaw with their LT Costanzo retiring.

For all those Paye fans out there...if the Eagles are so in love with him, they might have an opportunity to trade into round 1 for him.

Didn't like him at 12...but if he really slides...for #37 and a 3rd...go for it.

I liked Paye but not at 12 though I'm not sure giving up 2nd and 3rd to move up into the first is good value either.

You know what is actually making hell freeze over tonight?

When all the apologists say that the player we drafted was going to be taken next, this time they'll be right.

Well of course we can never know either way but NFLN were also saying we're probably jumping NYG for Smith, before the pick was in. Then NYG go and pick a WR. To me the evidence is pretty strong.

I think it means they wanted a WR, but the trade package was so overwhelming I think they take the deal. 

Is moehrig on the board still?

At the end of the day, we are all going to debate the Devanta Smith pick until he plays and is productive as an Eagle. It really doesn’t matter if Howie doesn’t do anything productive with the rest of the picks.

We have no corners, safeties who will be gone in two years, and a defensive line in need of a major overhaul. Add that to the fact we really have no linebackers.

Then we are about to turn over 60% of our offense of line in the next two years.

And all of that would still be true regardless of who we picked except for one and you'd have to add WR to the need list.  There was no pick we could make that would significantly our lengthy list of needs.

The Giants should send is a thank you note for saving them that playoff birth.  They have an extra first round pick to show for it.

The WFT lost out on a QB thanks to that wasted trip to the playoffs.

Who knows how next year is gonna shape out? As for now the Giants got screwed out of the WR they wanted and just drafted a day two WR in toney at 21

You guys keep saying this like it’s a fact. 

I feel pretty certain about it. I mean it seems pretty likely

Great post 

I don't like the thought of trading both of our 3rds to move up.  We would be sitting out then 2nd and 3rd rounds AGAIN.  That would be the 3rd time in the last 4 years they have done that.  The 2nd and 3rd rounds are imperative in building the foundation of your team.

The Giants fleeced the Bears. We did them a favor. 

And we did Dallas a favor.

yep

I still don’t think it’s worth giving up the other pick, why not just stay put and Draft Terrace, Marshall or Rashid Bateman in the second and keep that pick

Or just trade with Chicago as last resort 🥵

I don't think Samuel is going to make it past NO 😕

He had plenty

Hey.  Would you look at that.  NFLN just compared Paye to Brandon Graham.  Hmmmm. Imagine that.  

Is that the guy you wanted? Kwity Paye?

 

I'll get a Lowie tattoo if we can sneak back into the first for Newsome.

Lol. Sorry, that just struck me as funny. 

Well, we are on opposite sides as to Ward, but the have lined him up at every WR position in the last season and a half. That said, he may be fighting for a job in camp if the Eagles draft a slot WR, like I expect.  

Over/Under Yards for D Smith next season

950

Over/Under Total TDs

9

Think I'll take the over on both

Darrisaw would have made sense for them.

And I would have been fine missing out on him and keeping 84.

The hats this year suck
