Giants Have Crucial Decisions To Make On 2022 First Round Picks | Free Agency Preview

[@rodericklewis5600]

Not moving Evan Neal around and finding his strength would bite them again when he goes to another team a plays solid that's why I'm ready to move on to this regime cause they don't know how to get the best out these players....

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

If they let Slayton go we have no second receiver. Nabers and no one. Slayton is a 1000 yard receiver with a real quarterback.

[@vidowatcher91]

They were discussing that in the second round. I want to sign Tee Higgins then go let Slayton have a great second half of his career with Joe Burrow and Chase. Trade WR2s. That's what I'd do in Madden anyway. Idk how to GM.

Sport entertainment. It’s what the media is supposed to do.

[@MartialFit50]

And let’s see if we can get Tommy Devito’s clown agent to wear a Notre Dame uniform with golden helmet for final home game and lead the team onto the field with the ‘Rudy’ soundtrack playing. I mean, we ALL bought it last year and this year , but reality says Cutlets won’t be a Giant next season.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

He needs to get public speaking training.

[@azikkii]

Getting rid of great players/leaders and replacing them with draft picks is not a recipe for success. You keep good players and build depth through drafting BPA and you fill remaining holes through free agency. Meaning you KEEP Saquon and draft Tracy. You KEEP McKinney and draft Nubin. If you’re keeping Daniel Jones who EVERYONE was unsure of, you draft a QB. You KEEP Leonard Williams and draft a DT. That’s how you build depth. As far as Slayton goes, he doesn’t fall into the category of great player and IS the depth piece. There’s benefit there but Slayton deserves to go to a better team at this point.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

I couldn’t agree with you more and couldn’t have said it better

[@thelakeman5207]

Saquon could have been running like a champ if we had any kind of blocking. Look what he's doing in Philly! I'm glad he's finally having some success.

[@andrewr7395]

Your best podcasts are when you do these breakdowns. Something Alex said about adding experience, especially when it comes to O line and defensive is crucial. Regardless of who the GM is next season, at least we will have cap space to work with. Speaking of, firing Daboll and keeping Schoen is a bad idea. Either both both go or they both stay. We already know how keeping a GM and firing a coach usually works out.

[@richmulv]

Daboll is the problem. He was unable to get along with Wink Martindale the first warning sign and he undermined his offensive coordinator Mike Kafka who made good play calls in the season they made the playoffs with DJ. Daboll's play calling was disastrous and he stole the play calling from Kafka. Schoen has drafted adequately. He is a bright guy and is capable of turning things around. A good choice for HC would be Joe Brady currently OC with the Bills. BTW it was Josh Allen who made Daboll look good not Daboll making Josh Allen look good.

[@boki1693]

How can you say Schoen has drafter adequately? He had drafted horribly. He has had 3 years "to turn it around" and our roster is way worse than when he took over. Both need to go.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

Daboll and Schoen are both living off the coat tails of Buffalos unicorn pick of Josh Allan. Daboll had his chance to be a QB whisperer with Jones, Lock and DeVito. I’m not saying any of them are any good but did they get measurably better under the whisperer. Not to mention neither one of them chose to whisper to Nix, Penix or McCarthy.

[@jankyboi5484]

Great insight as always

[@JDVBB8]

Love the content guys. One of the few rays of hope in this dire time but at least the offseason will be fun. Agree that we need a bridge QB, Fields or Winston

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

Wilson isn’t going anywhere. He’s got Pittsburg in first place. Fields is a chance but I don’t know how many decent quarterbacks want to come to a 2 and 15 team. Especially knowing after 1 year max they are out because we drafted Ward or Sanders. We will have to vastly overpay.

[@JDVBB8]

@ I said Winston, as in Jameis Winston from the Browns. I didn’t say Russell Wilson

[@darrengale4429]

Offensive lineman should be drafted high every draft, tired of the musical chairs across the line.

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

I'm pretty sure I remember the next three out of 5 pics after neighbors were offensive lineman. These guys are clueless.

[@CarmeloJaimenje]

What's up fellas!!!!!

[@hard2fathom1]

The Giants have been criticized for letting good players walk in past offseasons only to see them shine elsewhere. It seems to me that letting Slayton walk would just be another example of this. Of course, I can't blame him for wanting to leave considering how he has been treated. Get him a good QB and he will be a solid receiver on another team.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

😅 Agree

[@TrollKing2781]

Your logic is 100 percent true. But Slaytons time in NY has run its course.

[@hard2fathom1]

@@TrollKing2781 you're probably right, and it's sad because I remember him as a rookie catching touchdowns from Eli thinking we had stolen a player in the 5th round. But the Giants don't know how to treat their guys.

[@TrollKing2781]

@@hard2fathom1 Slaytons time in NY will probably be remembered most for his drops. But will go overlooked was him still averaging about 700 yards a season with a bottom 10 QB for his entire time in a giants uniform.

He’s better than Tommy Parmigiana Cutlets

[@jameshollister8294]

Im not drafting a wr in 2nd im getting dt or oline

[@isaacgcomedy]

The Kayvon justification for a 5th year option sounds like how we ended up with jones for 6 years, I know its not QB so its different but why should we expect growth from him if we havent seen it in other players

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

When it comes to KT, two thoughts; Schoen has to pick up the option. How can he not pick up the options on both Neal and Kenyon. He would look like an idiot for two 1st round busts. Second, the option is $16 million. That’s a lot in my checkbook, but not in the NFL. The best option is to fire both Schoen and Daboll and let someone else make the decision.

[@isaacgcomedy]

@@JohnFerraro-l9b agreed with letting someone else make the decision

[@thelakeman5207]

They have a decent start to a good defense. They NEVER have a good offense.

THE GIANTS NEED TO DRAFT A TOP QB WHO CAN RISE THE LEVEL of the TEAM TO A PLAYOFF ONE AND MAKE OUR PLAYERS BETTER TOO WE NEED A GM AND HC WHO CAN BUILD A WINNING TEAM/PRODUCT ON THE FIELD AND BUILD A CULTURE THAT MAKES IT HAPPENS THAT WAY!!

[@thelakeman5207]

If they lose the #1 pick, I'm done with this team. Been a fan since 1958.

[@josephgrosso2943]

You can't go into a round of the draft 'looking for a receiver.' can't draft straight for need. Have to take best player available, especially with a roster that sucks this bad

[@thelakeman5207]

They picked Daniel Jones and left Nick Bosa and Micah Parsons on the board.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

As far as Schoen goes, since the second half of 22 we are 2-5-1, 6-11 and probably 2-15. This in the third year 9f a “rebuild”. He doubled and tripled down on Jones. He took us into 24 with a quarterback room that was an absolute joke. Jones, (a year after an ACL tear)Lock, and DeVito, and now Boyle. He preaches rebuild while at the same time tries to win now by wasting draft capital and money on guys like Burns and the Las VEGAS tight end whose name I have already forgotten. W something (lol). His drafts have been terrible. What are we even talking about.

[@VinceG18]

I still think Isiah Hodgins should get way more playing time and targets.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

KT is still living off his college/draft reputation. If his name was Joe Blow you would never give him $16 million.

[@SupeerrV]

No way do we need a receiver in the 2nd round. How many receivers are we gonna draft?! Wandale, Hyatt, Nabers…time to address other needs. We need cb, o line or d line help in the 2nd round. Those are much bigger needs for us than wide receiver. Bad take imo.

[@thelakeman5207]

The Giants first have to find a new GM and Head Coach. Then get a new QB in the draft and then sell Evan Neal at a discount price.

[@deanedmund7843]

So NY is tanking I’m taking out a second mortgage on my home and betting against the Giants the next 3 games. Easy money

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

They need to draft a receiver or get a free agent even if Slayton stays.

[@andrewr7395]

This is what your podcast does best. Slayton, great guy, but it’s time to go. Fields or Winston would be perfect in the back up QB roll. Regarding. D line, we know Ojulari’s talent, but the injury factor is too much of a headache. I did find it interesting when Chase Young’s name came up. It made me think back to 2019 when everyone knew he was going to be the number to pick out of the draft, and we all know how that’s worked out.

[@MartialFit50]

Colts game will be Devito’s last home game as a Giant in all likelihood. So, let’s have his agent wear a Notre Dame uniform, and lead the team out onto the field with the ‘Rudy’ soundtrack playing. Why not ? It’s Sport Entertainment now

[@thelakeman5207]

Like to see the Giants acquire a new back up QB for next year. Andy Dalton? Tyrod Taylor? Huntley from the Ravens? Any rookie QB is going to need a veteran to take him under their wing and show him the ropes.

[@AnthonyArgyros]

@@thelakeman5207I agree. How about Joe Flacco (Super Bowl champion and cannon arm) or Carson Wentz? What if Vikings release Darnold (not a wise choice) ? A good veteran, draft a rookie QB and keep Lock or Boyle as 3rd string Devito and his agent played their NJ angle out. Time to release that game

[@Cammdontjamm1]

Why do we complain about depth and yet want to get rid of the depth we do have

[@TrollKing2781]

What depth do the giants have.

[@Cammdontjamm1]

@ I’m referring to azeez that’s depth same for pinnock slayton Simmons I’m not getting rid of decent players for 6th round picks just to miss on those said picks none of those players cost much obviously slayton won’t be back but the rest are depth pieces the team just sucks so they forced into roles they shouldn’t be in

[@TrollKing2781]

​@@Cammdontjamm1 Only 1 worth keeping is Slayton. I'm thinking he wants out. I would if I was him. Azeez, Pinnock & Simmons can all kick rocks. Unless they accept the vet minimums.

[@Cammdontjamm1]

@trollking2781 I’m not spending money on slayton even if he did want to come back he’s a wr3 or 4 on other teams we have him at wr2 he’s serviceable but I think we can upgrade for the low yes I would want simmons azeez and pinnock back but all these players are replaceable for sure but we are fans of the giants and they don’t really do anything right so we just gotta be ready to be ass for the next 30 years

[@adrianwebb6117]

Hope we keep Simmons. Like him best as a WOLB and rotational speed edge rusher

[@TrollKing2781]

How many sacks does that "speed edge rusher" have while in NY.

[@adrianwebb6117]

@TrollKing2781 thats what im getting at. I think theyve mis-used him. Focus him in on one position. Hes got the speed to cover TEs and the speed, and length to be a decent rotational player at edge. Like 3rd and long, play a Nascar package with him at edge Thibs and Dexter in the middle and Burns on the other side.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

He is not big enough to be a full time LB. He never could get to the passer. Two teams have now tried to find a place for him and failed. Sadly, he is just another first round bust who will spend his career as a backup.

[@TrollKing2781]

​@@JohnFerraro-l9b Simmons will be out of the NFL in a year or 2. He's just a fast guy masquerading as a football player.

[@VinceG18]

Slayton agrees to a deal well below his market value. Jalen hyatt seems like he’s going to be a disappointment.

[@Wheels84ss]

Ok I have to say this because the Ojulari defense is so wrong. The guys has not played a full season and sucks against the run. The idea of him being a couple big plays for cheap is a failure. We constantly talk about depth yet you want our depth to be something that constantly breaks and when we actually need depth he isn't available. So then we are either hunting the streets again or starting guys off the practice squad. Starters can be the occasional big play, depth needs to be consistently reliable. I would keep Simmons and use him as a backup edge before bringing back Ojulari because he will be on the field. Plus his use as the slot shows he does more against the run. Neither is a great option but when you're talking depth availability is much more then 2 sacks in 1 game then a trip to the ir for the next 6. KTs option I agree we keep and get an actual DC who can actually use him. Hell hes big enough to use him as DE next to Lawrence on the regular and find a solid lb to replace him.

[@gmanhirt8818]

trade them and anyone else that other teams might be interested in accumulate as many picks as you can get and release everyone else 2025 the team should have between 17 and 20 draft picks
