Can't help thinking about watching Hard Knocks a couple years ago when they were talking about him like he was the most important guy on the team. I guess a few other things have worked out better for them since.

Draft grades are all about analysts jerking themselves off. They will contradict themselves almost immediately depending on their previous opinions. With that said, Giants had a solid draft but I really dislike the Barkley pick. They filled a lot of needs tho and just like QB picks, no one will give a shit if Barkley does as he did this past season.

I don't think people are hating on Barkley, but more on the absolute glaring needs that needed to be addressed. It seemed like the Giants had a bunch prime time games last season which in turn put the spotlight on what a shit show that O-line was. It really may have been one of the worst I've ever seen.
With all that being said, I definitely believe Macapoo had a hand in the suckage I witnessed. Maybe the 2nd round OL they picked up and Solder is enough to make it salvageable now in addition to actually having a real RB in the backfield. Looking at their 2017 depth chart they had some less than stellar guys at that position.

Overpaying for Solder and drafting a really good prospect in the 2nd certainly helps.
However, we lost our only 2 decent linemen in Pugh and Richburg, so who the fuck knows.

Grading drafts before any of the picks have played a single snap is legit. Like how the Cowboys 2016 draft went from terrible to the greatest draft class of all time to below average to who knows what after next season.
Calling any draft "great" in under 3-5 years is a waste of time. The only thing you can be sure of is the Brown's draft will suck and shit like Tampa Bay picking a kicker in the 2nd round.

The Giants o-line might be trash, or even a dumpster fire this season, but Barkley is the best run blocker out of all RB prospects. As the last line of protection, Barkley can stifle slashers in order to buy Eli the half second he needs to complete his release.

By the time he's in the HOF nobody will remember who hated on him. But if he ryan leaf's it, everyone will remember you saying how awesome he is.

My suspicion, based on scouting reports, is that Saquon needs a good line to be successful. Do the Giants have that line? Not really, so I imagine he'll be mediocre to average this year.

Report: Former 49ers safety Eric Reid files collusion grievance against NFL
I didn't get signed during a very weak Safety market. COLLUSION!

Honestly though Ameraves, as a fellow Niner fan, the guy is an NFL starting caliber safety, I dont give a fuck how "weak" the market is, he should be on an NFL roster, period. You, or anyone else, isnt going to tell me that Eric Rieds career has declined so much so, that a weak market might potentially lead to him not being signed in 2018. He most definitely could be a back up on one of the 32 NFL teams, get the fuck out of here.

Honestly, I actually question his not getting a job more than Kaepernick's. He was a pretty good safety and I don't know what kind of money he was looking for but it probably wasn't 20M a year. I don't think he has any chance of successfully suing the NFL over it unless they are incredibly stupid, but it is odd that he couldn't get a job anywhere.
