I want to believe–I really want to believe the Giants know what they are doing. I’m not sure that’s real, or that what they are doing is actually a working plan. They picked up “Not-s0-dange-russ” Wilson, adding him to a pile of QBs that live in the Madden slush pile. Wilson was good a decade ago. Winston is a big time gunslinger who, with the right WRs can put up big numbers. They are not entirely different, but they are entirely different from anything that Daboll has had success doing, and they themselves have never had success behind a trash O-line.
So, what they heck?
Here’s what I think: The Giants want to grab the best player in the draft. I think that is Travis Hunter. I think they think that is Abdul Carter. I don’t at all think they intend to pick a QB early. It looks more like there is a plan to scoop someone (like Carter) early and then work a trade (likely Kayvon) to get a late first simply to have the optional year available only for the first round tenders. Who is the QB? No clue. At one point I thought they were looking at Milroe. The Jets are the only other team who may take a QB in the first, so gambling on getting a guy late is a good bet. This is a pretty deep draft. I see options. I see hope…
I hope they don’t screw this up.
Some Thoughts:
- 20 days since I blew this entire thing up. Time flies.
- At some point in the near future I ought to go back to the day before it fell apart and get a Monday morning QB sense of what actually happened. It may still be having repercussions.
