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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Fadingpain 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The press conference where he argued that RBs should be drafted high was embarrassing. Poor Giants fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense, as you have 3 QBs to choose from. The Colts pick at 3 might not offer that, plus the Jets paid the ransom anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 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.

Dadonkadonk Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
