GM Bruce Allen has been the GM since the 2010 season. He has drafted 87 players.
0 All Pros.
7 Pro Bowlers (3 of which were 1x)
66% are not in the NFL anymore (not incl 2017-2019)
7 out of 59 are still on the team (not incl 2017-2019)
NYG wants to add a versatile defensive piece that needs to impact the opposing passing offense. They are gonna have their choices.
Yetur Gross-Matos - EDGE/Penn State
AJ Epenesa - EDGE/Iowa
Grant Delpit - S/LSU
Antoine Winfield Jr - S/Minnesota
Zack Baun - LB/Wisconsin
#99
NYG: Matt Peart - OT/Connecticut
NYG doubling down at OT - all but announcing this is likely Nate Solder's last year in blue. Gettleman gets his two twin towers for the outside that will likely see Thomas at LT / Peart at RT in 2021.
#2020NFLDraft
NFL Leader in Turnover Margin since October 8:
New York Giants +13
*It is the highest turnover margin in the NFL over any 8 game span in 2023, all teams.
No, Evan Neal's illegal blocking downfield penalty will NOT be a part of my game-grade for him.
Absolute garbage call that seems made up.
Same goes for Bobby Okereke's roughing penalty on Josh Allen.
Same goes for holding called on Leonard Williams.
What were they watching?
The more I watch the Martindale NYG defense from All-22, the more I think a true
#1
corner will be the top need on this roster this offseason. Whether Jackson sticks or not.
Best Day 3 Pick:
#Giants
: Elerson Smith - EDGE/Northern Iowa
A Jayson Taylor clone. Overlooked because of program and cancelled 2020 season. Unique physical tool set to go along with grit, hustle, and intelligence. More upside than round 2 pick Ojulari.
182 / NYG: Darrian Beavers - LB/Cincinnati
He was on my radar for NYG in round 5. Will end up as the top value pick of the draft for the team. He screams old school Steeler/Raven. Lines up all over the field and plays faster than you would think.
Some available free agents for

DE Emmanuel Ogbah

FS Eddie Jackson
CB Stephon Gilmore
DT Fletcher Cox

RB Kareem Hunt

Top available TE for a team that appears ready to move on from Darren Waller. One of the most impressive physical specimens you will ever find at the position. Did something every film I watched that raised the eyebrows. Long strider that

Already re-watching the Broadcast -
Second half Giants fans in Arizona made a real difference with the noise. Across the country - I am impressed. Nice work.
57) NYG: John Michael-Schmitz - OC/Minnesota
A guy many thought they would reach for in Rd 1 - they get ideal value for in round 2. Has a clear path to being a starter week 1 which also helps the depth at OG by keeping Bredeson available there. Will be staple at OC for years
#110
NYG: Darnay Holmes - CB/UCLA
Slot corner that can come in year 1 and compete for a nickel job. Graduated college in under 3 years. Smart and savvy, shows up on the field. Can mirror quick slot receivers, has some size/playing strength issues.
#2020NFLDraft
47) NYG: Tyler Nubin - S/Minnesota
Thick-framed playmaker (13 career INT set a program record) is most effective playing downhill. Nice slide-in for the McKinney loss in free agency. Average speed in deep coverage can be somewhat hidden by his instincts and feel. Also an

By far the biggest play of the comeback that nobody is talking about. Look at everything it this picture.
Score.
Down & Distance.
Jones : ARI defender ratio
This resulted in a first down.
NYG scored a touchdown 3 minutes later.
70) NYG: Andru Phillips - CB/Kentucky
They missed out on the corners in round 2 and were smart not to reach (end up with the top S). Sitting patient and getting a really good nickel that excels at playing sticky to his man. Another scheme-based fit and this secondary has

#giants
GM Dave Gettleman traded for Leonard Williams.
Case closed.
Sometimes it pays to let things play out....maybe just a little. Remember that.
73) NYG: Jalin Hyatt - WR/Tennessee
NYG wanted to get faster - here you go. A Will Fuller-caliber deep threat that took the roof off SEC defense after SEC defense. Gives NYG passing game someone that will create space underneath and a real vertical threat for Jones. A real one.
114 / NYG: Dane Belton - S/Iowa
Similar player to former Hawkeye Geno Stone - who was drafted by BAL when Martindale was the DC. Easy to see the comparisons when it comes to body type, tackling success rate, and smarts.
#36
NYG - Xavier McKinney - S/Alabama
Physical and aggressive downhill, run and chase guy. Plays faster than he times for sure. Has a plus skill set and will pair with Peppers to provide a S pair that can interchange.
#2020NFLDraft
There is ONE linebacker in the history of the combine that has all of the following:
250+ pounds
Sub 4.55 forty
40+ vertical
*And add in sub 7.00 3-cone at Pro Day
And produced well enough for All American status
He is in this draft class.
24) NYG: Deonte Banks - CB/Maryland
Most athletic corner in the draft - maybe the entire draft - goes to a team starving for talent at corner. Has true
#1
potential but there is still a lot of mental development that needs to take place. Started just 5 games '20-'21 combined
#218
NYG: Carter Coughlin - EDGE/Minnesota
40 career TFL + 22.5 career sacks. Sneaky athlete that will be a "multiple" LB for NYG defense that wants to be able to change schemes weekly. A natural in coverage, effective with his hands as a rusher, and plays low
#2020NFLDraft
Final Report from 2020.
ARI did everything wrong. And if there's one thing we know about the new regime for NYG...they know how to scheme.
This could be the next chapter of ARI screwing up unique players. The one right after Haason Reddick.
#71
NYG: Aaron Robinson - CB/Central Florida
Really aggressive cover man that could project both in the slot and outside. Quick twitched, fast feet, and physical. Robinson plays like he truly hates his opponent each week. Gamer.
166) NYG: Tyrone Tracy Jr. - RB/Purdue
Former WR at Iowa (was second leading receiver to Ihmir Smith Marsette at one time) that made the move to RB and finished with a huge year. Finished 4th in country in yards after contact per rush. Elite quickness and burst - still learning
After listening to
#Giants
GM Joe Schoen - here are. some takeaways (admittedly confirming what I already believed - some bias likely)
▫️They aren't going QB at 6
▫️They made a plan years ago - they being patient - and sticking to it. That included signing a QB to a long term
#146
/ NYG: Micah McFadden - LB/Indiana
Dependable and smart bruiser with surprising game speed to the sideline. High success rate as a tackler and will reach his points in coverage. Has the ceiling of an elite special teamer + solid starter.
#238
NYG: TJ Brunson - LB/South Carolina
One of the biggest combine snubs. Bruiser that leaves a mark when he hits you, shows good tackle to tackle range. Versatile on third down because he can blitz well and carry tight ends up the seam.
#2020NFLDraft
If Darren Waller is actually still unsure about playing in 2024 by the time the draft comes around, NYG needs to move on. That mindset combined with how he played and looked in 2023 confirms the "want-to" isn't there.
Add starting TE to the list.
#150
NYG: Shane Lemieux - OG/Oregon
Never missed a game, 52 consecutive starts. A blue collar, go-getter that NYG may view as a long term option at OC. Has tight hips and struggles vs speed, needs protection L&R. Tough kid though.

The question is how much do you really know about Bellinger.
That’s the second most important one. The first?
Why would you make a private conversation, public?
2019 NYG wins a "pointless" game and it leads to them missing out on Chase Young / Jeff Okudah at the top of the 2020 NFL Draft
They had to settle for Andrew Thomas
172) NYG: Eric Gray - RB/Oklahoma
Ideal body for the RB position. Tennessee transfer that left his mark on the OU program with a huge 2022 season. Can handle all RB roles - underrated pass catcher and will pick up the hidden yards consistently. Nice match with NYG scheme.
Giants’ All-Pro DT Dexter Lawrence reached agreement today on a four-year, $90 million extension, including $60 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal makes Lawrence the third highest-paid DT in the NFL.

How NYG handles the final hours of the Jones negotiations is going to set a precedent for all of their future next-contract players
And they have quite a few coming up
This is not, and should not, be a blank check. Make the final offer - then walk away

#255
NYG: Tae Crowder - LB/Georgia
Leader of a talented Georgia defense that plays fast and physical. Maybe more of a 2-down guy that the team drafted for special teams, the theme of their 7th round.
#2020NFLDraft
#147
/ NYG: DJ Davidson - DT/Arizona State
Big body that shows good feel for blocks and spacing. Will be able to 2-gap, a necessity for Martindale's scheme but don't expect much here as a pass rusher. Poor pad level and needs body-work.
That was Daniel Jones' Eli-vs-SF game
Double digit hits. Over a handful of them big ones.
But zero turnovers in a road playoff game as an underdog where he completely put the team on his back and walked out of there with a win.

NYG: Andrew Thomas - OT/Georgia
A must for a team that has given Saquon Barkley nothing to work with up front. If they want to own the line of scrimmage, Thomas is the guy you want in your corner
#2020NFLDraft
Could be right or wrong. I won't pretend to know either way.
But curious to hear your take on why NYG has been the 2nd worst team in football since the start of '16.
Their 45-81 record only trails NYJ.
Fans are allowed to consider which variables have been around since then.
I’ve been in the building everyday for a long time. These theories are fan based “guessing”. Go back to Vinny DiTrani and Dave Klein as the main beat writers. Was this ever reported that this was the structure? Or any beat writer since. This is a fan based chat room theory.
6) NYG: Malik Nabers - WR/LSU
Run it back to another high-ceiling wide receiver from

that can create from any and every angle. The most explosive of these top receivers. The most physical of these top receivers. The most effective after the catch guy of these top
4 Thoughts on Caleb Williams
1: He is THE one I want with the ball, down 4 with 2:00 left
2: He seems immune to nerves

3: He is not going to get away with some this backyard football in the NFL
4: He needs to be more accurate on the simpler throws
