Mr. Mojo Risin'
Definitely enjoyed trading a great nose tackle in Snacks for a late pick, then trading the best WR in team history and using the acquired 1st rounder on a nose tackle lol
Two biggest needs OT and Edge rushers
3 first round picks
Got none
Amazing.

Jones was not the QB to take. They were better off waiting for next year.

Gettleman should be taken out to the pasture after that 6th pick. What a f***ing moron we have running this team.
Could have Drafted Josh Allen then Drafted a QB OR just taken Lawrence there.
However, they have Tomlinson and Hill in the middle. So Allen and Sweat as your edge attackers.
Instead he makes us a f***ing laughing stock. A f***ing laughing stock. No QB in this draft was worth #6. None.
This guys is the biggest f***ing snob know-it-all in the league. He has won shit. He has done nothing. I fear for this organization being in his hands.
Daniel Jones better become Tom Brady at this point. I dont care how ridiculous that sounds, but it is THAT RIDICULOUS to take Daniel f***ING Jones at #6.
f*** the Giants. I dont want to hear shit. Dont want to hear any spin on this. This is a disaster

Even if he becomes a better version of Brady + Rodgers + Brees combined it will still have been an incompetent decision because NOBODY was picking Jones top 14 and he blew landing an elite D player

I’m just glad they didn’t get that turd Rosen.
I expect them to suck a few more years anyway. Gettelman’s gone after next year at this rate. They learned their lesson staying too long with Reese, and he had two SB’s.

Imagine where the Giants could have been after these two drafts if they didn't have a dude with his head up his own ass at the helm.

oh god... don't watch the press conference if you're a Giants fan looking for any kind of reassurance.
Reporter comments on how the production/numbers just weren't there for Jones - both Gettleman and Shurmur chime in "which numbers" as if they have some mysterious secret qb numbers that the rest of the league doesn't?? good grief. Then when the reporter comes back with completion percentage, touchdowns, etc. they follow up with everyone favorite argument - it's not about the numbers, it's the eye test.
And the amount they bring up Eli, unsolicited -- he's okay with this move, we called him as soon as we made the pick, eli is our qb for next year, we wanted to make sure Eli was okay with it, all along we've been speaking with Eli about this, etc. ONE PLAYOFF APPEARANCE SINCE 2011!!! Whyyyyyyyyyy is Eli being treated like a Tom Brady/co-GM of this team at this point?! insanity. This front office legitimately acts like the last 7-8 seasons never happened. mind-boggling.
"Maybe we're going to be the Green Bay model, Kim. Where Rogers sat for three years. Who knows?" Honestly, at this point what planet is Gettelman on? It's as if he's seeing a different reality than literally every other person watching football.
Sal - "Are you saying you drafted a quarterback at number six, and that he might sit for three years?"
Gettleman - "Who knows?!"
Sal (great follow-up question IMO) - "If Eli can play for three more years, wouldn't you take somebody at number six to help Eli do that?"
Then Gettleman gets flustered and again, his best response is, "we don't know."
There's just absolutely no way you can listen to what he's saying and think the guy has a coherent plan for the franchise.
Sorry but it just keeps going.
Reporter brings up screws in Lawrence's foot considering his weight. Gettleman says it's nothing he's perfectly fine.
Follow up - but he only had 4 sacks in two years. Gettleman says it's cause of the screws in his foot.
Then he decides to continue by saying the numbers don't tell everything, as long as Lawrence gets good push, "those ends come screaming off the corner..." And the reporter responds excellently - "but who are the ends screaming off the corner?" To which Gettleman responds "Rome wasn't built in a day."
YOU JUST TOOK A QB AND RUN-STUFFING DT IN A 1ST ROUND LOADED WITH PASS RUSH!

If Gettleman is this arrogant ballsy and so f***ing immune to criticism, while also being all in on winning with Eli why not fill other holes this draft and push all the chips into the middle of the table next season for a plug and play QB. After the manning-geno debacle I think management is going to be hard pressed to green light benching Eli at any point this season especially after all the Eli talk this offseason. The idiot then goes on to dig himself a deeper hole with the comments about Jones sitting for 3 years, THREE f***ING YEARS for a QB worthy of the #6 pick.... this guy clearly doesn’t think about how absurd the things he says and does look. Blows my mind that this guy has somehow found a level above reckless with so many of the decisions he’s made.

I didn't feel good when they hired Gettleman. It was lazy. Felt like Mara was too scared to try something different cause McAdoo didn't work out. This what happens when you don't step out of your comfort zone. Getting Accorsi to do the GM search was a red flag too.

At least you can see the talent with Mayfield.

2008 not 2012.
And Smith and Bradshaw were massive in 2008. Plus Reese was Accorsi’s player director.

Who f***ing cares about Eli Manning? Francesa is such a clown.

Here’s what I want to know — were Giants scouts collectively pressing Gettleman to take Jones, or was there significant pushback within a divided room?
Just can’t see the significant majority of an entire staff champion that pick.
