“People call you and they want the second pick of the draft for a bag of donuts, a hot pretzel and a hot dog. Leave me alone. I don’t have time to screw around.”

—Giants GM Dave Gettleman, with what was actually The Quote of The 2018 Draft.

Guys say stuff like this to make themselves look big.  Most of the time you just come off looking small.  This didn't need to be said.

The only interesting aspect of this to me is this:

 

If we really did try hard to move to #2, it means we did not want Allen as our first pick.  No way we were thinking we would need to move to 2 to get Allen.

 

If that is true, I wonder who it is that we really wanted?

 

For all we know, "our guy" that everyone wanted us to move the world for was Baker Mayfield.  When Cleveland took him first somewhat surprisingly, our entire draft  shifted to a contingency plan.

 

Entirely possible.

Lance Zierlein was saying the morning of the draft that if Buffalo traded up to 2, it would be for Allen.

Well I'm glad Gettleman didn't take the deal then.  I can live with Allen at 7 and then Edmunds with a trade up from 22.  But had we traded up to 2, no Edmunds and no 2nd round picks this year and perhaps a 1st next year off the table I would not be able to live with that for Allen.

Gettleman loves when the camera is on him. He sees himself as the face of the franchise in his own mind. The press conference where he argued that RBs should be drafted high was embarrassing. Poor Giants fans.

Beane wanted to keep his second pick in the first round, so a trade with the Giants was never going to happen,  Still, calling to find out Gettleman's price was part of the due diligence he neded to do.

Gettleman would be a fool to say that he had an offer of 3 first round picks+ but decided to stay at #2 and draft the least valuable position in football.

Guys that dumb surround us all. Guys that dumb reaching that level of power is indeed rare.

Once Mayfield went #1, there was no need to trade to #2.  The Giants were taking Barkely or Darnold, leaving the Jets Darnold or Rosen.  The Bills were taking Allen all the way.
