BlueInCanada Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Having a GM and staff that don't give away their hand weeks before a draft so that the media and the division rivals don't get to trade ahead of you. It's a good feeling to see mock drafts come out where not a single pundit can agree or have any idea who the Giants will grab. Good guy Schoen actually wants to be a real NFL GM.

mastershake Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I sorta feel like WR and CB are implied as top priorities, with maybe OL as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Couldn’t agree more. Probably the thing gettleman did that irritated me the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I’m in total agreement. I haven’t seen the same player mocked us twice. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 It’s also harder to predict a pick in the 20s than in the top 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Didn't Schoen go full Tyrion Lannister last year too and leak fake players to some of the scouting department guys and then he fired those guys after the draft? I seem to remember hearing that the Giants were "in love" with Charles Cross and hearing that had been planted by Schoen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastershake Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 How did DG tip his hand exactly? Maybe on Barkley he gushed about, but what else. Wasn't DJ and Dexter Lawrence not expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 yeah, DG pretty much told the whole world DJ would be the pick, and we didn't believe it because Duke, Dave Brown, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was a surprise. I must have missed something. I know they were gushing over him for sure at the combine and senior bowl, or something like that...but I also thought they said they're taking the best player available.

Sephiroth Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Got jumped for DeVonta smith by the Eagles too, and we ended up with Don'tKareous Phony. JR was infamous for this as well. Got jumped twice in the same draft by Tennessee and Chicago to nab Jack Conklin and Leonard Floyd respectively, and we got caught with our pants down and ended up with Eli Apple.

Eli Apple I always thought was JR panicking and passing on Leremy Tunsil (who really should have been the pick, but the pot smoking story freaked him out). I remember me also wanting Corey Coleman that year.....BOY was I wrong about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Considering the reactions: It doesn’t read like everyone knew Jones was the pick. Nobodies mocks that year reflected that either. it’s actually quite funny to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember lots of mocks having us taking EDGE Josh Allen (and then fans crying when we didn't draft him at #6), plus DL Ed Oliver or OT Jonah Williams.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 This^^^ We were still burning about the Dave Brown Experience/Experiment. The worst QB pick in my lifetime worse than Pisarcik and/or Brunner back in the mid to late 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Every GM and front office leads other teams with "leaks". Nothing special about that. The end of the day you've done your homework and you build the squad. Reese got draft picks right, Gettlemen did also. in years we'll know how good Schoen was in the draft, because if he's any good, 2/3 of the team should be draft picks.
