WIth a flailing franchise quarterbacked by an aging doofus, with a goofy balding nerd for a backup, with three good quarterbacks* laid before him on a platter in a way he'll never see again, and with the whole world watching, Gettleman picks a running back. A gifted running back, yes, but one whose mechanics put him at unusually high risk for a knee injury - a knee injury that would instantly rob him of his special qualities.

(* plus Josh Allen if you like that kind of thing)

You can book it right now: Giants 3-13 this year. Gettleman fired. Game over.

Meanwhile, we grabbed a young Antonio Brown at #24.

Get down on your knees RIGHT NOW and thank God that he saved you from what Giants fans are about to suffer.

I agree I would have drafted Rosen there personally. 

Who knows how this will work out though. Its looks like Gettleman is playing his cards for the short term win now  philosophy, which could work out if Odell and the defense come back healthy. Giants have had problems with a consistent run game for quite a while. So I think if they get some quality oline guys with the rest of their picks to keep Eli from getting rocked and keep Saquon clean, they could be pretty damn good this year..

So, I think short term, its a very good move.

With an uncertain OBJ future and Eli's career coming to an end, they are in win now mode and took the best player in the draft. He's a hard working can't miss guy so I don't understand how that's a bad pick compared to a bunch of QB's that have so many concerns and question marks.

Good move in my book. QBs aren't stopping in 2018. You get the generational three-down back with the excellent character. 

Injuries can modify/end any player's career. You can't not pick Barkley out of fear-philosophy.

Barkley’s a true once in a generation back and the Browns screwed up by not taking him first and still getting Mayfield 4th. Was a good pick.

I think they like Davis Webb who does have a lot of talent.  I'd have gone Chubb there but Gettleman definitely wants to win right now.  I think he is grabbing Hernandez at 34 today.  

Oh unless cleveland takes Hernandez, his card for the giants will be turned in so fast

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
