Michael no one is really going to be scared of Jones later or now. The giants record will be proof.

Those same people will come out right back once DJ loses first game or commits his first interception.

@John Goulet nope. Can’t pass on Josh Allen or Ed Oliver at 6 those are game changers on defense. Trust me Jones would’ve been there at 17. If not so what next years draft class features Hurts,Ehlinger,Tua,Fromm, Herbert, Burrow going in the 1st or 2nd round. You don’t ever reach for a player in draft. Defense clearly was more of a pressing need. They lost more games last season because of the D not making any stops in the 4th quarter than anything Eli was doing on the field.

@Kevin Lynch I think the broncos would have picked Jones cause they traded back to 20 when we took him but I was a little annoyed that we didn’t get Josh Allen tho

@gianta_boi there was a source inside the Broncos war room who saw their big board. They had Drew Lock ranked ahead of the other QBs they got who they wanted. Schefter confirmed it on draft night. You can’t pass on Josh Allen or Ed Oliver or those two nasty LBs. How you gonna run a 3-4 with no pass rushers or LBs? More importantly there are a lot of QBs available in the next draft. This was more of a defensive draft. Can’t reach for a 2nd round QB with the 6th pick. As a Giants fan I hope Jones does really well but I didn’t want this to come at Eli’s expense.

@Kevin Lynch that’s why I said MIGHT have been available. Allen and Oliver(weird, 2 first names for last names) are definitely good players or even great, but there is no bigger difference maker than a QB. The thing is we DON’T know if he would’ve been available at 17, we aren’t the all seeing eye or anything and neither is Schefter, whom I totally respect. I think it was probable DJ would have been available later but that isn’t a guarantee. Someone could have nabbed him. I just hope he turns out to be great. You don’t pass on a QB you really love, and I have a lot of trouble considering a QB pick a reach. You only ever realize that later. I totally agree with your point about Eli, makes me sad to think about it.

You took the words right outta my mouth. I hope he plays as good or better. Thank you Eli, for everything. You’re one of the best. Good luck Daniel

I would be so much more hopeful if WR corp isn’t so decimated as it is, I have watched this game long enough to know that it’s going to be very difficult for DJ to play good let alone play above anyone’s expectations, but the thing is…this DJ guy…somehow he gives me this unfounded faith that he’s somehow going to play in a way that is going to mesmerize me in a good way…I don’t know about other teams but in 30+ years of following Giants football, certain players just have the magic…again, not saying DJ will shine in his 1st game right away…but I think he’ll show me something that would give me enough hope to keep watching.

So sad for Eli I feel so old I remember how excited I was to get him in 2004. An end to possible the greatest era in Giants football.

@Evander Holyfield It’s not. With the exception of 2008, the Giants were not a dominant team in any one of those years. Which is why I said it’s the strangest era. With all the frustrating, headscratching losses that they accumulated from 2005 to 2012, winning those 2 super bowls was completely bizarre. Awesome, but bizarre.

Reginald Chiatti he will most definitely get into the HOF. They aren’t gonna care about the INTs and losses. As long as the losses aren’t greater than the wins which currently he’s at .500. What will get him in is beating the 16-0 Brady pats with an 8-8 giants team, and then doing it again with a 9-7 giants team. “The Brady Killer” 3-2 in all times they’ve played against each other.
