method man

I feel tackles are more likely to hit the ground running than guards on average. Look at the PFF grades of all the interior linemen taken in rd 2 - Torrence, Avila, Mauch and Tippmann have not been particularly good. Same thing applies to MLBs, especially green dot MLBs - it takes time for these guys to get acclimated to the NFL and you are not going to get a guy who is ready to hit the ground running off the bat more likely than not. LG and green dot MLB are definitely two positions I'd rather target in FA. As of now, I'm with most here where if we pick top 6, I'd lean Harrison or Bowers if either guy is there. I would then package both those 2nds to move back into the mid 1st to grab a tackle.

Besides the two Eagles games, the Giants' schedule is soft the rest of the year and, as we all saw, the coaching staff and team is going for it as jobs may be on the line. Let's hope Tyrod gets back soon and they can squeeze out a couple more wins

You stated it better than me lol

The people who post in the Facebook groups are complete nincompoops. There is a reason the posters here post here - this is a group of sharp fans

I believe the only players left from the Gruden years are Allen, Payne, Terry and Way. I don't count Crowder and Fuller because they were re-acquired by this regime. This is what turnover in NFL roster looks like after 4 years. I agree that it is going to be fewer than 10 players

This is one of the many reasons I want Ben Johnson. He has a reputation of thinking "he knows nothing" and takes a lot of feedback from those around him. Read about his working relationship with Goff. What's interesting about BJ is that he has played under a lot of coaches and, as a result, scene a lot of different schemes. McVay has been in some version of the WCO his entire career

Exactly this. Most of us were pissed that Kyle was leaving, especially after what looked like a good draft at the time and arguably the 2nd best FA class of the Snyder era.

I would argue a truly elite WR is worth more than a truly elite tackle. The pay reflects that

Although he had nothing to do with this, must have made this even more embarrassing for these two

Nope and he is going to be humbled by the offers he receives. This is a loaded safety market, especially for box safeties/nickel types. He is competing with Dugger, Chinn among others. Separately, his value to this D is his versatility. The next DC may not need someone like him

And now Wirfs has moved to LT and is a stud playing there. Gave up his first sack of the season to Chase yday only after hurting his ankle in the game and continuing to play through it I haven’t really studied Fashanu yet but I remember folks posting initial takes from scouts on him a month or two ago and they felt the same way. Saw Russell Okung as a comp - a guy who may make a few Pro Bowls but is not going to be elite

Unlike the Snyder era where he got cheap on cash salaries to pay annually, I get the sense Harris will want to be aggressive in FA and play the same games with the cap Philly, NO and others play. All this means is I expect fewer position needs going into the draft and that also means we can be aggressive there as well going quality over quantity if we choose to do so

The Niners calculus was that if he leaves, they will just recoup a comp pick in 2025. The effective cost to them vs delaying the pick a year and maybe losing a round or two on it

I would be willing to move a RT to LT if a new staff thinks that player is cut out for it. Trent was a RT in college. I would absolutely be willing to trade back into rd 1 if there is a second tackle there who they think can be a year 1 guard (although the issue with that strategy is tackles tend to be taller and we ideally need shorter guards for Sam)

Agreed. Need a tackle and a guard. I would still keep Leno around but move him to RT where he can handle the second best edge rushers on the other team

Lol Jay took a veiled shot at Ron about it

I went to the Falcons game and Mercedes Benz >>>>>>> FedEx. Definitely want to go back next year

Not just the culture piece but he also implied or stated that he and his staff saw opportunities to “coach these guys up” taking a stab at Gruden’s aptitude

As bad as the Giants will finish this season, they still have 4 blue chip players in Thomas, Barkley, Lawrence and Thibodeaux. They are also going to be in a better position than we are to add another blue chip guy. We arguably have zero of these guys

At this point, does it matter? Heck make Tavita or Randy Jordan the HC and Steve Russ the DC

Have you forgotten that BSJ, at his size, can also man the slot? Do you realize that makes us one of the few teams that has an answer for big slot receivers like Kupp. What BSJ needs is to jam more at the LOS given his size and play with more confidence. The only thing he lacks is great deep speed - he is 6-3, long, has elite quickness at that size and is a smart player who studies his ass off. He is already starting caliber corner where he’s at with the potential to get to another level. I’m excited to see what he can do in a new scheme with better coaching He is a top extension candidate for me this offseason.

Got it. So you would’ve made Montez the highest paid player on the team and looked to keep around a guy whose knee is in such bad shape that no team was willing to beat SF’s offer on for what was effectively a 4th

Isn’t the core issue with London that he did his best work in the slot coming out of USC and that ATL had playing as an outside receiver mostly? Pitts had a 1000 yard season as a rookie (becoming the only guy to do so as a TE besides Ditka). Since then, he has had Mariota and Ridder as his QBs. the guy had his 2nd best game of the season in the one game someone halfway competent like Heinicke started. Even this year, he is on pace for a 700 yard season The one thing that he has gotten out of playing in ATL is that he has become a better blocker, not good but competent

Paging @Conn London, Pitts and Bijan have all underachieved relative to draft slot. Think that is them or coaching? Smith has admitted stupidly to using some of these guys as decoys for Allgeier, Hollins, Smith, etc

I don’t think PFF always does the best job grading players in the secondary because they don’t always understand coverage responsibilities. I think ultimately both guys are #2 corners but BSJ shows a bit more ability to cover #1 receivers, which he did more of last season. Fuller is the smarter player, plays with better technique and has more experience. BSJ is the more physically talented of the two by quite a bit. Ultimately, our best hope is that Forbes shows some #1 corner ability so that we are not forced to give an older guy like Fuller a long term deal
