@BigBlueUnited Down for it We need another Olineman to solidly right side, another pass rusher & a #1 WR We have talent but need a healthy consistent QB We have extra picks & it couldn’t hurt Competition is a good thing We might hit on Maye or it could light a fire under DJ This draft is vital

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

Football’s a momentum game If the offense can’t move the ball the D gets gassed Negative momentum drags it all down & makes things look worse than they are We need a versatile RG/RT to solidify Oline, a top pass rusher & #1 WR We got picks Maybe take Drake Maye Let ‘em compete👍

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

Agreed We’re only midway though year 2 We have talent, a good GM & talented young Head Coach The best Head Coaches will tell you it doesn’t click until year 3 but most don’t make it there He needs time grow We had 7 Olineman hurt & are on a 3rd string rookie QB

@IamEliRacks Insanity is doing the same thing OVER and OVER again and expecting different results

Mcadoo 2 years
Shurmur 2 years
Judge 2 years

This is a pattern that needs to stop. We cant keep saying the situation these coaches inherited are AWFUL and expect it not to take some time.

@CollinRugg Sickening Total moral degeneracy & widespread criminality 15 vs 1 Absolute cowards Why are we now seeing young men commit such heinous crimes? In LV 2 teens ran over a cyclist killing him In NYC 2 criminals beat a uniformed cop They have 0 fear & exploit soft on crime policies🤬

@carlymersky @Giants would do that deal 1,000 times out of 1,000 Toney is gifted but is the type who tries to get by on talent without putting in work There’s a good chance he’ll have a middling career & be out of @NFL before 30 He’s got Antonio Brown without the stats written all over him

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

Naturally gifted Toney got a clean slate in 2022 with @Giants HC Daboll but acted like a disgruntled head case & got traded Talent got him through college to @NFL where everyone has talent so you have to put in work KT will get chances but will likely be out of #NFL in 3-4 years

[Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan]

Can’t trust Kadarius Toney, in every way imaginable. That’s why the Giants traded him.

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

After going up 2-0 against the despised @NJDevils the @NYRangers flailed 3 straight & faced elimination in Game 6 The Blue Shirts forced a Game 7 with a 5-2 win #NYRangers fans celebrated as cars honked outside of MSG after the win Was it a tease only to lead worse heart💔ache?

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

@Young_Slay2 @jalinhyatt Darius is a true NY Giant @jalinhyatt couldn’t have a better mentor @Young_Slay2 Darius Slayton moved up & down @Giants draft chart the past few years & took a pay cut yet never complained or caused distractions He just grinded & worked He earned his well deserved extension🤘

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

@NYGDaily Indeed #Giants absolutely crushed this #draft We had excessive picks & got quality over quantity We got steals too with Banks, Schmitz & Hyatt in their draft spots @Giants GM Joe Schoen has been an @NFLDraft 🥷🏻Couldn’t have fallen any better & was actually a 🦄 draft So stoked

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

@JordanRaanan So glad he lasted until #57 I was sweating watching 2nd Round praying C John Michael Schmitz would land with @Giants After @Jets picked Tippmann I got spooked We got the perfect C to anchor this young Oline Thomas-Bredeson-Schmitz-Glow-Neal is best Oline #Gmen have had in years😁

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

What positions do @Giants need to address now in Rd3-5 @TheEntertainah? After brilliant CB Banks & C Schmitz picks #Giants needs are WR, S, & LB Possibilities: WRs Tillman or Downs S Battle or Ji’Ayir Brown ILBs Sanders or Simpson OLB Herbig Any of those would be great for #Gmen

[The Entertainah @TheEntertainah]

TYLER SCOTT PICK 89.... LOCK IT IN! CAN WE GO 3 FOR 3?

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

Hell yeah! I would’ve been happy taking center John Michael Schmitz in Rd 1 Now #Giants got CB D. Banks & C JM Schmitz with first 2 picks Schmitz is the young center we’ve needed to anchor this talented young Oline Masterful work by GM Joe Schoen Let’s Go @Giants #Gmen #NFLDraft

[The Entertainah @TheEntertainah]

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

Ugh Monster OG/C Steve Avila is gone & @Giants cross town rival @Jets grab top C Joe Tippmann who I wanted #Gmen to target Given that we lost OL Gates & Feliciano & NFC East has elite Dlines we have a dire need C to anchor our Oline Schoen might need to move up #Giants #NFLDraft

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

@Giants need another receiver to deepen the WR corps & give DJ another weapon Also we need a #2 CB to help Adoree Our other high priority is a center to anchor this Oline - you win in the trenches I would dig C John Michael Schmitz on #BigBlue #NFL #NFLDraft #Giants #GiantsDraft

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

@realmaceblack Sterling Shepard is one of DJ’s favorite targets & a 3rd down machine Glad he’s stayed with @Giants & hope he’s a Giant for life Continuity has been severely lacking here which has been one of our major issues We have a young talented homegrown core which we need to keep intact

#Mets should resign CF Brandon Nimmo & IF/OF Brandon Drury He’ll provide excellent depth & can play multiple positions so he can spot start & platoon at several spots He can also be a nice RH power bat to compliment lefty masher Vogelbach It’d allow us to maybe trade Canha #LGM

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

@Mets must resign CF Brandon Nimmo We need to retain homegrown talent which we’ve bled in recent years Replacing Nimmo would be extremely difficult as he brings an energy & spark to lineup at leadoff Plus the reverberatory effects like moving Marte to CF would hurt team overall

[Kenji Mapes @kmapes]

Last year we lost versatile depth (Villar, Drury, Pillar) who kept us afloat in 2021 Never should’ve lost versatile Brandon Drury who had a resurgent year with @Mets after injuries/trades marred career He’s always been a player with untapped potential on cusp of a breakout
