Giants Will Pick 6th

With their loss today, and a comination of other results, the Giants will have the 6th overall pick in the 2019 Draft. Today, Saquon Barkley also set all sorts of Giant rookie records and became only the 3rd rookie in NFL History to gain 2000+ yards from scrimmage.  So why do I have a picture of Sam Beal up, and not Saquon?  To remind everyone that Beal, like OBJ, will be back and ready for the 2019 season, and becuase the Giants already spent their 19 third rounder to acquire him.  As it stands now, the Giants have their 2nd, 2 4ths (though a 3rd 4th is expected in all the comp calcs) 2 5ths, one 6th, and 3 7ths.  With what the new FO was able to do with just 6 picks this past drafts, getting them 12 or more - if trades are made - could really speed the rebuild.

The Giants cannot keep Eli at his current cap number of 23 million, so they have to fix that, one way or another.  I personally, don't think he is consistent enough from game to game, to get us into and through the playoffs anymore, so time to cut bait and take the heat.  The Giants might be able to get Haskins at 6, and if he's there, they should probably do it.

In order to be ready to go anywhere but OL at 6, the Giants have to sign either a starting caliber C, RT or G before the draft, not sure who will be out there in FA, but that will be optimal.

We'll see if there's any turnover on the coaching staff, as well which street free agents they can pick up in the coming weeks.

They should be much better next year.

If I read one more time how much the Giants respect Manning and will probably bring him back even though they shouldn’t I am going to barf. Yeah, they respected him so much they ended his streak to start Geno Smith. It’s not respect, it’s abject cluelessness.

Mayock as Raiders’ GM. Hmmm

Yeah, that Mayock move is all kinds of crazy awesome.

Early sense that if they want Haskins they will have to trade up. If they bring back Eli taking a QB at 1, let alone at the cost of extra picks won’t happen because Eli will want assurances of multiple immediate upgrades to reduce his salary. So they will either continue their cluelessness or say good bye to a great Giant who no longer fits here.

Gettleman was non-commital on Eli but talked repeatedly about 2nd half of seasons point totals. Whether that is about salary or Eli’s own intentions, who knows?
