The Giants were all set. They had a trade worked out and were set Friday night to move out of the No. 36 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. They found a trade partner and were going to drop in the second round in order to add an additional pick. Only one player could cancel the trade. “We had made up our mind that if Xavier fell to us we were taking him,’’ general manager Dave Gettleman said. Indeed, Alabama safety Xavier McKinney was on the board. That was that. He was the pick and the potential trade was gone. “We did have something, if Xavier had been gone, we did have a team wiling to move up and we would have moved back,’’ Gettleman said. “We felt the value of getting Xavier there was just too good to pass up.’’ A day after addressing a huge need with the first-round selection of offensive tackle Andrew Thomas, the Giants added the top safety in the entire draft. The Giants had a first-round grade on McKinney and did not expect him to make it through the first round. “We saw him hanging around,’’ head coach Joe Judge said. “We were very fortunate.’’ Just like that, after signing James Bradberry in free agency, the Giants have the makings of a legitimate secondary. McKinney figures to start quickly and perhaps immediately, teaming with Jabrill Peppers, who will be able to move closer to the line of scrimmage, where he is more effective. McKinney can roam the deep half of the field. A two-year starter at Alabama, McKinney is extremely versatile. He can play in a slot cornerback role, in the box or as a deep safety. According to Pro Football Talk, McKinney played 291 snaps in the box, 232 snaps in the slot and 282 snaps at free safety. He was one of four players in college football that played 100 snaps at inside linebacker, outside linebacker and cornerback. He is not Isaiah Simmons, the do-everything Clemson linebacker who was taken No. 8 overall by the Cardinals, but he is one of the most versatile defensive players in the draft. “One of the important things for us this year was getting a safety that can play the deep part of the field,’’ Gettleman said. “Xavier certainly played back there enough that we feel very comfortable with that part of his game.’’ nypost.com/2020/04/24/giants-select-xavier-mckinney-with-no-36-pick-in-nfl-draft-2020/ |

Getting the player you want is more important that grabbing an additional pick. So, I can't fault the Giants for nixing the trade when the player they wanted fell into their laps.

Interesting thought. what has DG done so poorly in the two drafts? The odd Williams effected this years draft which was a not a great thing at all but other than that? |

What's up Hundy? Any draft predictions for us today? Yes....................,I think we will pick a player in the 4th round ,5th and 6th and a few more in the 7th round.  Just placed an on-line bet that the draft will be canceled today. Thanks Hundy! |

In what world would you know if they weren't on the same page? It has been implied on these Boards by some that JJ has total control and DG has no say .From what was posted it seems that both HC and DG were in sinc on the call to draft this player ,is there a problem with that? Anyone who thinks a first-year head coach whose last job was a special teams coach has complete control of the Giants draft has lost touch with reality. He's part of the team but complete control.... ridiculous! |

Wow, I didn’t know that that was your thing. Nothing wrong with it - to each his own - but it’s just not my thing. If you ask nicely, though, I’m sure that Harooni will send you some naked picks that will help get you through this quarantine period. |

I thought you'ed back out ,...you and your buddies are like that. No need to be embarrassed about your preferences. As I said ... to each his own. |
