They already played both their games against the eagles, and split the season series. The only division game left is Dallas I meant Dallas. Thanks. In my mind Dallas and Philly are interchangeably sucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We need to trade some players for picks, if we do indeed make the playoffs. We need those picks to move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need those picks to move up. And we replace those players with ... wait for it ... overpriced free agents and UDFAs! Nah, brah. We just draft smart. If we draft 19th, we miss out on only 19 players in the entire draft. After that.... Think about this for a moment: we can draft the best player available (to the entire league) in rounds 2-7. We can't do anything about round 1 unless some guy falls from above 19 to 19 for whatever reason (see Dan Marino (pothead), Jon Allen (congenital arthritis), etc.), BUT at the start of the draft, if there's a consensus best rd 2 guy -- we can get him. Consensus 3rd round guy - we can get him, etc. If at the start of the draft you're confident you can get the best guys in rounds 2-7 (and actually, the best 2 guys in round 4), but you'd blow your 1st round pick, how would you feel? You'd feel great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think the best thing to do for the next couple of weeks is forget about draft position, let the games unfold, and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you do, right after you also point out that we'd have won both games this year if Alex Smith was the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, we’re a good team. A good 4-7 team who got three of their wins against backup / 3rd string QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good teams also have franchise QB on their roster, something we don't have yet. If things fold the way they are then there might not be a franchise QB on the roster next year as well. 2022 here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berggy9598 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 PSA from good ole Berggy cause it's the holidays. The roster of an NFL team is comprised of human beings...highly competitive human beings that worked their butts off and sacrifice any semblance of a normal life to bleed sweat and cry their way from pop warner to the NFL. They don't give a rat's behind about the draft and will do everything in their power to win football games. If this is an inconvenience to any fan of an NFL team, I hear Madden is a fun game.

CapsSkins Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 JFYI, tanking is definitely a real thing that GMs do via roster construction. Trading your good vets for picks & cost-controlled prospects is tanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMs and HCs can play younger guys with the goal of development and growth.... see dropping AP and starting Gibson.... Dropping Josh Norman and trading Trent Williams. If you move on from aging vets and invest heavily in younger players, and you win football games doing it... nobody is going to apologize for that. That's the goal.

Anselmheifer Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 When the Giants beat Cincinnati today we will no longer be 1st in the division, yes? Then, all we need is for COVID to cancel the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Y’know, if we’re going to draft 19th, 32nd is better. Just saying. On a more serious note, the players we are probably most excited about are McLaurin, Gibson, and maybe Sweat. So, the handwringing about falling out of the top ten or top five may be shortsighted.

This is why I can get behind this if we get on a roll and make the playoffs. We're watching our youth make plays and possibly building confidence, we'll see how everything finishes out but I'm not sweating missing out on a QB this year if to accomplish that we have to stifle the development and confidence of our young core. Good GM's always say build from the inside out and we haven't completed that process yet so if the QB is the last piece we get and its 2022 then so be it.

It like never happens. Tannehill is the closest example we can find but as a 6 year starter in Miami he was far more accomplished than what we have seen out of Sam Darnold. Although I like the idea of taking on Darnold, I have to acknowledge you maybe right. I can only think of one, but that was long ago and that was Jim Plunkett. Even then I am not sure he gets a lot of respect despite his 2 SB rings (Rightly or wrongly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
