GIants Take LB Ryan Connelley

With the first of their 5th rounders the Giants have selected ILB Ryan Connelley out of Wisconsin.  Memories of the Pete Monty pick and when "Best MLB in the Big 10" was a Giant Default Setting.  I think he'll play more.  Because he ain't no Pete Monty. And he should also help on specials.  Only one offensive player taken so far.

By the way, this guy is a lot more instinctive and explosive than I expected.

I hate this draft, but whatever.

This guy played through torn pecs.

I’m talking about position. I would have cluster drafted high ceiling offensive linemen.

We only need one and maybe 2.

This attitude is behind everything:

"As the GM, I walk a tight line," Gettleman said. 'I have to look at the short term and I have to look at the long term, and that’s the tightrope that I walk. I have to take all that into consideration in making decisions, whether it’s the draft, whether it’s unrestricted free agency...”

This is crazy. With the roster as untalented as he inherited and an aging, declining quarterback, to pretend that you have to win in the short- and long-term is STUPID. Now, I blame Mara for it, but that’s why everything they do is incoherent.

I mean what better way to get the most out of Eli (or a young quarterback going through growing pains) and Saquon than a dominant offensive line. That would also include a young top left tackle who can take over for Solder, who’s OK but expensive, fairly soon. But none of that is going to happen.
