2016 draft now one of our worst drafts ever

What? How can anyone argue that this draft wasn't terrible? We only have 2 of 5 drafted still on the team. This was a major reason for the terrible "super bowl hangover". Draft was trash. We all saw last year in New Orleans how a draft can make or break your season.

i'd even argue that barner's career so far is pretty much what you'd expect from a 6th round pick

Definitely better than expected from a 6th rounder. Large large majority of 6th rounders are out of the league entirely within a couple years. Barner was a contributor for a SB team 5 years later. Only issue is he never fit in well here and we cut him. And frankly with Kugzilla we never had a chance to see how good he could've been due to injuries. Hard to blame a GM for that. Nobody can predict that bad luck. 2013 was a great draft. 2014 solid, the rest yet to be determined.

This guy was just waiting to bash Gettleman and praise Hurney. Not worse than hurneys infamous 2011 draft. Let's also remember it's kind of hard to screw up the number 1 overall pick. Hurney was also drafting at the beginning of rounds opposed to end like Gettleman.

1. Cam

3. Terrell McClain

3. Sione Fua

4. Brandon Hogan

5. Kealhoa Pilares

6. Lawrence Wilson

6. Zachary Williams

7. Lee Ziemba

the clown didn't even draft his franchise QB one weapon. But wait it gets worse. How about 2009?

2. Everette Brown-traded a future 1st

2. Sherrod Martin

3. Corvey Irvin

4. Mike Goodson

4. Tony Fiammetta

5. Duke Robinson

7. Captain Munnerlyn

keep pushing your agenda man, but just know you're wrong.

 

Can't just look at drafts in a vacuum. Cam was the weapon drafted in the first group, and he had Smith, Olsen, DWill and JStew to work with, among others. A lot of those guys were back filling of chart depth or taking a flier on a potential. Most didn't pan out at all, and that happens with about 75% of any team's draft picks. 

2009? I got nothing here. Bad draft across the board for a team that had the wheels falling off. Must have been pre-emptive karma or the universe aligning us to be able to pick Cam in the future. Who knows? I mean, Captain Munnerlyn was our big hit there and well, errr.

    • I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
    • I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--
    • After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
