O gotta admit--if we drafted Evan Neal, I would be elated--I want a QB because we need a QB, but I realistically know that the QB we'd draft has long odds to overcome--Neal is ready to be elite now. Here is what you don't want to hear: The pieces we have in place now will make Darnold better---does that mean he wins more games? I see us peaking around 9-8 if all goes well.

When those picks come up, just shout "Darnold!" and then "Henderson!" That will fulfill you.

I think Elf will be the C and Bozeman will play LG--but if we add a T, BC to LG and Bozeman to C. So I am pulling for the LT addition

Thought that was odd.

That was the thought I could not get out of my head. I think they like the fact that Willis stole the show--knowing that he will probably be drafted first.

I used "smokescreen" in one post---can't believe a word. It does, however, seem to signify the "end" of the free agency frenzie for us-so maybe they were signaling the agents of Duane Brown, Stephon Gilmore, etc? Who knows.

He did not show us the team's xrays, but I think he basically said,"We'd like to upgrade the pass rush, add a LT--but we are taking a QB."

Thanks for the insights from your perspective. Since he mentioned that Luvu and Haynes would step up for the loss of Reddick, I think it is T or QB. He mentioned BC's flexibility and then mentioned Elf, Corbett, Bozemen, and Moton by name---I think it means "We are going with BC at LT for now, but would like to add a player if we can. he spent a lot of time talking about QBs on rookie contracts and compared them to Seattle with Russell Wilson---I think he basically told us, "We'd like another pass rusher and a LT, but we are better in those areas now and people will have to step up. We are drafting a QB." If we miss, we will draft a QB again. So I respectfully disagree, but it could be a case of hearing what I wanted to hear.

A month before the draft---did you expect to see blueprints?

Here is my take: Offensive Tackle: We are better up front (OL) but would like to add 1 more player. Talked about BC's versatility, so he is saying, "If a LT does not happen, we can go with what we have now." Mentioned Elf, Bozeman, Moton, and Corbett--and BC's flexibility. Sd OL has more depth. I think we could be set on the OL and this did not sound as if we were targeting a T at the moment--smokescreen? Edge: Mentioned that Luvu and Haynes flashed and played better with reps. Sd they need to step up. I am not sure we are going to draft or sign an edge with the #6 pick. QB: We are drafting a QB. Basically, my take is this--we are going to start with Sam Darnold and feel that the team has been built around him--something that was missing last year. Sam will have competition. That competition will be Willis, Pickett, or Corral, in my opinion. When asked about drafting a QB: He said, you do not want to reach, but you have to take swings at the QB position. Also, he talked about building a team around a QB on a rookie salary. Compared to Seattle/Russell Wilson.

I heard that Tomlin is in love with the kid and will do what he has to do---so we shall see---If the Giants get the #7, #20 and many other picks or players, they can be persuaded--I think that is what they are announcing, but that far? Good point.

Tomlin loves Willis

Seattle, Pittsburgh I would say are the biggest 2--

DONT FORGET: FITTERER AT NOON/

I think they know what the rest of the league knows: Panthers are going QB. So the #5 pick has a ton more value for teams moving up for a QB. I think they are leveraging what we have made rather obvious.

The Giants know that if Detroit and Houston (both with serviceable QBs and other needs) pass on the QB, then it is likely WillisPickett will be there at #5. They obviously feel (if they want a QB) they can get one with 5 or 7--or they could just roll with Jones and maybe take Howell in round 2--dunno. But they know that a move up for a QB is more value than normal--so they are willing to listen.

Hey Kakalaki, 2015 called....

I do not see Willis falling to #6. The Giants will be open for business.

why not trade the 2021 offensive stars of free agency--Darnold, Erving, Elflien for some bagles. Mmmm. Bagles.

No offense because I am with you for an OT---but we going QB unless we make a splash in week 3 of free agency

The lastest Buzz--and I have not read the entire thread---is that Baker could be going to Tampa Bay....I saw this proposed ion the NFL Network--a station I have been watching 5 hours per day because I have no life.

A good supporting cast makes an average QB good. A bad supporting cast makes an average QB bad.

Jesse Davis gave up 8 sacks and had a 52 pff score. Yikes.

I am sorry, but an "Improvement Index?"
