Maybe the gmen still grab Kyle later. They are stupid drafters so anything can happen

I don't want him sitting behind Dart who is sitting behind Wilson. That HC of theirs thinks he has another Josh Allen to develop. No way McCord gets an honest shot there now. I'd still like to see him go to Pittsburgh. Though I still stand by my prediction of the Jets in the second round.

As a Giants fan I have mixed emotions. On the plus side, the Giants did NOT take Sanders. Even if he is as good as Daddy Sanders presents, he is likely to be a poor choice for the Giants' clubhouse and for the NYC media. On the minus side, the Giants will probably live to regret passing on McCord.

Right there with ya. As a giants fan I wanted them to take McCord bad. Hopefully Dart is good, but I felt like McCord is slept in.

It's crazy seeing Will Howard as a better prospect than McCord according to the analysts, Howard was mediocre as it gets as a thrower, and McCord lit up the passing stats. Wherever he goes I hope he gets a shot and makes teams regret it, hopefully not the cowboys...

No way they’re drafting McCord after already drafting dart

Because NFL teams rarely take risks early. Dart graded out 30+ points higher that McCord. Daboll and Schoen are drafting for their lives. No way they are going to take McCord in the 1st round.

You're correct. The point I made was that Sanders was not the pick, the more important issue. And yes, I would prefer McCord because I prefer him. Dart may be a running QB but I really don't want my QB running a lot, NFL defenses hit hardest of all. Just my take.

Sanders posts about the draft are one reason I would have shied away from him as a GM. One thing being upset because you were falsely hyped up but there’s a sense of entitlement and fall back on daddy, in his posts.

Does it make me a bad person to be feeling a bit of schadenfreude regarding Sanders' fall from the first round?

Curious what that algorithm "measures" and how successful it is.

 

[orangeinjersey]

is the general concensus that Sanders and McCord are next QB's taken?

I know the Steelers and a few others like Jalen Milroe a lot. Also Tyler shough from Louisville.

No.

I didn’t think he’d fall even though I think he’s overhyped. I’m glad he did. It’ll be interesting who drafts him.

The Giants are doomed. Don't see Dart as an NFL starter. But even if you like him, why trade up to get him? Who was going to grab him at 25-33?

Saints were rumored to be interested in Dart and may have traded up to get him.

Don't worry everyone, my Cleveland Browns will dive on the Sanders grenade tonight. With four picks and an owner who just can't help himself, it seems so, so, inevitable.

Hot Mom vs. Divisive Dad, it's a no-brainer.

Although the circus that a Wilson/Winston/Sanders/DeVito(?) QB room would provide would've been glorious.

1) it has been done many time before
2) the giants may hedge
3) the giants are awful in the draft

HUSH! Don't give the Giants management any ideas!

Kyle to the Steelers in Round 3

I saw a few articles about how upset Sanders is with the Steelers, then I remembered Meeks asking McCord if he thought his game was like Big Ben's during that Orange Round Table. McCord quickly shook it off. I don't think McCord's game is like Ben's (BR ran a lot and was clobbered a lot. He was accurate, but his value was in durability). That said, it got me wondering if they know something or have some inside hints.

I know that Kiffin is some sort of offensive genius, but I can't recall a QB in his system that excelled at the next level. Not USC, not Bama, not Tennessee, not USC again, and not Ole Miss. Am I overlooking someone?

The only other "name" QB I could find was Matt Barkley. Good observation. Not a QB whisperer by any stretch

I was totally floored when they picked Carter and the College Gameday crew said that nobody on the Giants wears #11 so maybe he can keep the vaunted State Penn number. Nobody wears it because they hung it in the rafters for Phil Simms. BTW, I guess I’m new to the #11 significance but when the first example you come up with is Lavar Arrington, aren’t you trying too hard to make something from nothing?

Yes, I am replying to my own post. Little know fact - Game of Thrones author is a NJ native and named the main Giant in the books Wun wun. He was named for Phil Simms, who was #11 or "one one".

There's a subtle NFL reference hidden in 'Game of Thrones' that you never noticed until now

WARNING: AS ALWAYS, SPOILERS AHEAD. While re-watching the Season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones, I had a Bran-like flashback. There's a scene in which we get a long look at the frozen undead army of White Walkers marching on, including a very large tall

I'm just grateful there's no Pat Macafee.
