After the draft McClay said they thought the Giants would take him.

The Giants really messed up.

They are actually playing the OL they took at 10 at guard. I figured passing on Caleb was about getting a left tackle, but hey ok. Thanks……

Yeah he will eventually make the move to tackle…..great prospect…I would’ve waited honestly especially since I have to put him at guard.

I was just surprised to hear that they passed on Caleb for someone that needs to start out inside.

I was also surprised that Styles went before him.

Behind Caleb at 11, I do think NY got the best value in Reese at five. Man if they also took Caleb at 10 and we didn’t get him, I’d be a little depressed right now. The bad news is I’m wrong sort of often lol.

Let’s see, but we have something to look forward to for certain.

Yeah I think they just had to fix the offensive line and asap. They improved it a lot.

It’s just rough how do you make a Dart friendly pick and ignore offense? I would’ve doubled up and took Downs and took a guard later.

I preferred Styles over Downs because I wanted a linebacker but I do think Downs was a better prospect.

You would be surprised how many GMs don't do that.

Most of the time, when Stephen and Jerry dummy in to a really clear-cut BPA, they don't overthink it. And those picks have been some of our best players. Think Martin, CeeDee, or Parsons.
 
I know...we needed a stud in the back 40.

But if we had picked a true stud LT, or like say noseguard (not even sure that's a real position these days).....I'd'a been okay with it.

I really hate that I said yet another 1st round offensive player. Did I really just say that? Take Caleb....easy call...and find another option to fill LT. We didn't.
