fans, so let’s open up the Big Blue View mailbag and see what falls out.Ed says:
No one is happy with five wins. There are, however, things that make me
optimistic. The locker room dissension and distractions are gone. The Giants
drafted well in 2018, getting good players beyond Saquon Barkley in the middle
parts of the draft. GM Dave Gettleman and coach Pat Shurmur seem to agree on how
they want to construct a roster, and I am in favor of their “from the inside
out” philosophy. All of that said, in the end it will come down to whether or
not they get the quarterback transition right.Ed says: I haven’t studied every
player or figured out the financial ramifications. I would, though
Youth Evan Engram Jersey , have to consider the EDGE guys. Dee Ford, Trey Flowers, Za’Darius Smith, Dante Fowler, whoever else the Giants think could give
them dynamic play off the edge. I’d consider the safety class, too. Tyrann
Mathieu is an obvious name to consider because of his connections to defensive
coordinator James Bettcher. Deone Buccanon, too.Ed says: Assistant DBs coach
Deshea Townsend was announced as DBs coach for the Chicago Bears on Friday
evening. Other than that, I’m curious to see where Dave DuGuglielmo, the
offensive line coach let go by the Indianapolis Colts, winds up. I would think,
though, that if the Giants wanted to replace offensive line coach Hal Hunter —
or anyone else on the staff — they would have fired that coach by now.Ed says:
What I believe really isn’t important. Since you asked, though, I think the
problem you have a GM is you haven’t seen anyone of that size (he might not even
be 5-foot-9) succeed in the modern NFL. You’re asking a coach and GM to stake
their jobs, and maybe their careers, on a massive roll of the dice. If I’m the
GM, I can’t do it.Ed says: The relationship between Collins and the Giants seems
curious. I’ve said before that I think Collins will be back
Youth Will Hernandez Jersey , I just don’t think it will be with a long-term deal. The guess here is that Collins ends up playing 2019 on the
franchise tag, and both sides figure out the long term later on.Ed says: No. The
three picks is nice volume, and the Giants should be able to get good players.
I’m just not comfortable dropping that far, especially when the Giants will
probably already have 11 picks entering the draft.Ed says: Honestly, I don’t
know. Gettleman doesn’t like to put a time table on anything, and I don’t blame
him. If things fall into place, the Giants could make the playoffs in 2019. I’m
sure that’s what they would like to do. Gettleman talks about building a team
set up for sustained success. That’s what you want to happen, or hope will
happen. To do that you need to draft well over a period of years. You can have a
year like the Giants did in 2016, but they weren’t set up to maintain that. It
takes good decisions year after year to accomplish that goal.Ed says: Honestly,
I think we saw a lot more of that in the second half of last season. Barkley
caught fewer passes as the season went on (58 in the first eight games, 33 in
the last eight) and I thought in general the Giants did a better job getting
Barkley “planned” receptions and using him as a weapon in the pass game. I think
they will continue to get better at that, and will have more opportunities to do
so if they can continue to improve the offensive line.Ed says: I think the
Giants did very well in the draft. The Barkley vs. Sam Darnold argument will
rage for the next 20 years, probably. There is, however, no denying how good
Barkley is. Will Hernandez, B.J. Hill, Lorenzo Carter are all quality players. I
would say the Giants went 4-for-4 at the top of the draft. If they can continue
to do that
Youth B.J. Hill Jersey , sustained success won’t be far behind.Ed says: Maybe, but who is he going to replace? Alec Ogletree? B.J. Goodson? Sean Lee is a nice
name, but I think about Jon Beason when I think about the Giants acquiring Lee.
I would rather see the Giants add guys with futures rather than spend money on
guys trying to hang on to their pasts.Ed says: Who isn’t talking about that? The
Giants did draft Lorenzo Carter last spring, and he has shown signs of
developing into a good player. They know they need more talent at all levels of
their defense. I expect much of the offseason to be devoted to finding it.Ed
says: Russell Shepard is already a free agent. As are Bennie Fowler, Corey
Coleman and Cody Latimer. Also, Russell Shepard had 10 catches last year.
Whatever the Giants do with Sterling Shepard will have nothing to do with any of
their other veteran receivers.I don’t know if the Giants will want, or be able,
to sign Sterling Shepard long-term. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to get rid of him
now, though. The Giants need to add at least one wide receiver, not subtract a
good one and create another hole.Ed says: From No. 6? No. There might be a team
or teams willing to jump in front of the Giants to get Haskins. I get that. If
it happens, it happens. If I’m the Giants GM, I’m not doing it. First, I’m not
100 percent sold on any of the quarterbacks. I like Haskins and Jones, but I’m
not falling all over myself and feeling like one is a “must-have.” Plus, I just
don’t think the Giants are really in a position to move up.When the New York
Jets moved from No. 6 to No. 3 they have up three second-round picks, two in
2018 and one in 2019. If you go by the trade value chart, they traded up into a
spot worth 2
Youth Saquon Barkley Jersey ,200 points and gave up 3,100 points in value to do it. The Giants don’t have extra second-round picks. They also don’t have a
third-round pick this year after taking Sam Beal in the Supplemental Draft.
Suppose they make that trade, draft Haskins and keep Eli Manning. You get a
rookie QB who isn’t going to play right away and don’t have another draft pick
until Round 4 in the 2019 draft. How do you get better that way? How do you
maximize the primes of Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr.? In my view, you
don’t.David Gray asks: With Kyler Murray officially declaring for the draft, the
Giants now have two more options at quarterback: Murray and possibly Josh Rosen.
At quarterback the Giants have four options for next year: stick with Manning
(and postpone finding his successor), try to sign Foles, draft Haskins or
Murray, or trade for Josh Rosen (if he becomes available). You’re GM of the
Giants, what would you do about the quarterback situation? Ed says: I’m not
drafting Murray, I’ve already established that in a previous answer. I’m not
thinking about trading for Rosen because that doesn’t seem realistic. I’m not
getting into a bidding war for Foles. Yes, he has a Super Bowl but he has never
been a 16-game starter and he has never succeeded outside of Philly. I’ve seen
too many backups get starter money, only for the team that gave them all that
money to find out they really were backups to begin with. I’m considering
Haskins if I don’t have to trade up for him. Failing that, I’d consider moving
back into the middle or late part of the first round for Daniel Jones. That’s a
less costly move than going up from No. 6, and that way you end up with a top 10
talent AND a potential quarterback of the future out of Round 1.
