Chapter 967 Wishful Thinking
Withstand pressure, stop losses promptly, and be calm and objective.
It is precisely because of this that the Arizona Cardinals' decision won applause from the league. They made the choice that best suits the team's current interests.
This requires courage and courage.
At the same time, the Arizona Cardinals changed their head coach. In the midst of a trough, they showed the momentum of a strong man who broke his wrist and started over, which is indeed impressive.
However, not all decisions are met with applause.
This time, it's the New York Giants.
Following the serious stupidity of their quarterback handling strategy at the end of the 2017 season, the New York Giants once again became the laughingstock of the league regarding their quarterback issues.
This year, the New York Giants, who hold the sixth overall pick, have determined early that Manning will continue to stay in New York and will continue to be the starter. Regardless of whether people agree with this ridiculous decision of the New York Giants, at least the New York Giants uniform team An idea has been sorted out, so what should be done in the draft?
Don't forget that the New York Giants traded star wide receiver Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns during the offseason.
Therefore, the New York Giants can strengthen their wide receivers; but this year's wide receiver qualifications are generally mediocre, so the New York Giants can strengthen their offensive line——
The New York Giants' abysmal offensive line is well-known throughout the league, and Manning is always on the list for the number of sacks he encounters every season. It's really hard for the pocket quarterback to suffer like a sack of potatoes.
Now that the New York Giants now have the combination of Manning Jr. and running back Barkley, it is undoubtedly a strategy to strengthen the offensive line and at least reawaken the offense.
But what about the New York Giants?
With the sixth pick, they selected Duke University quarterback Daniel Jones.
Alliance:…
It was so shocking and unexpected that I fell silent.
First of all, Duke University's record in recent years has been mediocre, and it is not ranked even within the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Secondly, Daniel Jones's passing yards in three years in college have never exceeded 3,000 yards. At most, he was a third-round pick.
Finally, quarterbacks are generally sluggish this year. Apart from Murray, there is nothing worth watching. Other teams are not considering quarterbacks at all——
Facts have proven this to be the case. Only three quarterbacks were selected in the first round of this year's draft. Except for the Arizona Cardinals, who are at a low point, and the Washington Redskins, whose main quarterback Smith suffered a life-threatening injury, the other teams All without thinking about the quarterback.
result?
What on earth are the New York Giants doing?
Some people may say that the New York Giants are cultivating Manning's successor, right?
The problem is that before and after the New York Giants made that joke at the end of the 2017 season, they did not seriously train rookie quarterbacks; now that Manning Jr. has been confirmed to be the main quarterback in the new season, they have no outstanding rookies. The situation drafted a quarterback with the sixth overall pick.
Moreover, he is also a quarterback who is a capped third-round pick.
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Wake up, wake up! The New York Jets have always been the weirdo who flew airplanes in the draft. How come the New York Giants are also infected now?
Stupid, will it spread?
When Goodell announced that the New York Giants selected Daniel Jones, almost everyone was dumbfounded, and then Lawson "within the league" said a famous saying. "Are the New York Giants planning to select the second Manning Jr.?"
Not because of his playing style, but because Daniel Jones actually looks a bit like Manning Jr. in his youth, which makes people wonder if he is Manning Jr.'s illegitimate son.
Originally, Lawson just blurted out a sentence, but he immediately regretted it because it was not his style and he did not like gossiping and teasing about off-field factors; but he did not expect that it would directly detonate the entire social network.
Everyone suddenly realized: So that’s it!
The New York Giants are also at a loss for words.
Team owner John Mara stood on the stage and handed the No. 1 jersey to Daniel Jones, forcing a smile. When facing the eyes of outsiders, he had an unpredictable expression on his face:
Brady was like that back then, Rodgers was like that back then, and Manning was like that back then.
That calm and unhurried posture made people couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they had misjudged Daniel Jones?
However, when they turned around, Mara yelled. They were still expecting this risky choice to win applause and cheers, but the New York Giants turned out to be a joke?
So, should they really rely on their running backs?
I was originally optimistic about Levi last year. Although I didn't succeed in introducing Levi, I finally succeeded in the draft. Barkley successfully took over the baseball team's flag. This is also the reason why the New York Giants dared to trade away Beckham Jr., who was becoming more and more popular. Now it seems that they should continue to push Barkley.
Who knows, maybe Barkley, like Levi, will become the New York Giants' thigh and lead the New York Giants to take off successfully in the 2019 season?
In a hurry, Mara left Nashville in anger and disgrace, and couldn't help but wonder, what if they had drafted Levi and Mahomes...?
From all aspects, this year is indeed a small year. There is a lack of highlights in terms of rookies, and the team manager’s impulse to try to make big moves is also limited. The "upset" of the New York Giants has already caused social networks to explode, but this has not happened at all. There were no "actions" at all, so much so that the entire draft was a little less interesting.
The team is calm.
The rookie is also calm.
Even though the teams are eager to dig for treasure and look forward to attacking the Kansas City Chiefs in the new season, the rookie market is still disappointing. At this moment, looking back at the hustle and bustle of the free market in the past month, all doubts are gone. Got the answer.
So what about the two-time defending champion Kansas Chiefs?
After a big move in 2017, the Kansas City Chiefs traded away a bunch of draft picks, limiting their moves. The results of the 2018 draft were mediocre, with no outstanding players emerging for the time being.
However, this year is still worth looking forward to——
In fact, the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off one of the most laudable moves on the first day of this year's draft, earning Veach another round of applause.
In a big move two years ago, Veach traded away first-round picks for three consecutive years; but later took them back from the Chicago Bears.
This year, the Kansas City Chiefs have the 24th pick in the first round that originally belonged to the Chicago Bears; but Veach did not rush to take action.
After waiting patiently and observing patiently, Veach believes that this year's rookies lack first-round value, or in other words, their value to the Kansas City Chiefs is limited. Although the Kansas City Chiefs still need to make up for their mistakes, it is a pity that they have not been able to find players who meet the value among the rookie players. investment object.
So...Vicci began to sell his No. 24 pick.
Finally, under the leadership of Veach, the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks completed a three-way transaction with minor fluctuations.
The price paid by the Kansas City Chiefs was a 2019 first-round pick, a third-round pick and a conditional second-round pick in 2020, in exchange for a 2019 third-round pick from the Oakland Raiders and a 2020 Seattle Seahawks pick. There is also a defensive end in the second round of this year’s draft——
Frank Clark.
