It sucks that we got robbed of seeing Brock Bowers with Anthony Richardson in a Shane Steichen offense (from a Fantasy Football standpoint). #Colts

Also: I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joe Schoen move back from 47 if he can pick up another Day 2 future like he did in 2022.
He mentioned they are “not one player away” multiple times this process
The #Giants under Schoen have been incredibly active on the phones during drafts.

It’s odd to me some #Giants fans won’t accept the team tried trading for Drake Maye after Rap said it on NFLN, Breer, etc & Joe Schoen himself in post draft presser said “we had convos about moving UP and down” but this report aligns with what I heard their final offer was.

Two nuggets from Albert here: #NYGiants did include their 2025 first-round pick in the last offer to the Patriots, which we knew.

The other fascinating part: what emboldened New England to keep Drake Maye was the idea that Brian Daboll and Kevin O'Connell liked him, so…

I don’t ever advocate drafting for position but if value meets need that’s how it happens.
With that said, I’d like to see the #Giants leave Day 2 tonight with at least one trench player. Could be IDL or IOL or OT. They have secondary concerns but the game is won on the LOS.

👏👏

I fail to see what this accomplished for Denver 🤷‍♂️ .. we could simulate this draft 100 times and they’d still be able to get Bo Nix at 12 overall.

I'm hearing Spencer Rattler is very much in play for Atlanta with the 43rd overall pick tonight as the team plans for the post-Penix era.

I won’t be arguing every point in my mentions this morning. I promise.
Day 2 resolution.
I’ll just say this: if the Patriots wanted to trade the pick, the Giants would’ve traded for the pick and selected Drake Maye.
A deal didn’t get done, but I don’t believe it was because the…

Randy: 'Coach you aint going to see any post safety coverage against me...you're going to see Cover 2'
Bill: 'We hadn't seen Cover 2 in years! .. and he was right.'
Bill: So I started thinking of how to use Randy to beat Cover 2. Move him into the slot... 25 TDs.
🐐🐐🐐

Got the first four picks of my mock right. Then I had Vikes trading up to 5 for JJM (oops) and the #Giants taking Malik Nabers at 6 in my one-and-only mock.
My write up for the why & how it went down for NYG pre draft (it played out pretty close to this):

I'm so bullish on Caleb Williams to the #Bears
Start his career w/ Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, Keenan Allen
I will be picking CHI to make the Wildcard this year, division titles in the future.
If they are smart enough to build a dome for the new stadium, a 5K, 40TD season is coming.

Well he was Very right about a couple of things. And Very wrong about a couple of things. I mean, Nicaragua? 🤣🤣🤣

“Nobody saw Penix to the Falcons coming”

Jonathan Jones last week: Penix to the Falcons in his only mock draft

Leger Douzable Tuesday: said Penix to the Falcons could happen on Pick Six Podcast

Bryant McFadden Thursday morning: Penix is going top 10-12

CBS Sports had this down pat.

Silver linings to the #Giants denied by NE in trade talks for Maye:
1. W/ 6 R1 QBs drafted, fewer teams are competing vs. NYG in 2025 QB market & prob 2026 QB market
2. If NYG went QB now, they're wasting some of rookie contract w/ DJ on books for $47M cap now, $23M cap in 2025

Just over 5-minutes of highlights from Malik Nabers

Fair points, but if I’m just jamming QB bc of my current room w no conviction of elite upside what am I getting?
I’m removing myself from QB market for min 2 maybe 3 years. I want IN on that
And do I have any ceiling after signing said QB to contract 2 at 18-20% of my cap space?

I get this frustration but when has Joe Schoen had a chance to get an elite QB talent?
Be frustrated at Mac Jones, Sam Howell for blowing those #Giants games
They tried to trade up for Caleb, then Maye.
It’s not crazy to me to not have convictions on the upside of JJM types 🤷‍♂️

I’m obviously joking w TL. The #Giants only trade shot is the vet QB route ala Rodgers, Stafford.
But I disagree that those of us like me (apparently Joe Schoen as well) who saw this as a 2 QB class are “lacking foresight”
I have NO illusions about the current QB situation.
