On one hand, that undersells Yannick a bit On the other hand, Simmons is dope as shit and using him to rush and cover tight ends / jumbo slot receivers would be PERFECT for letting Jack and Schobert do what they do best. Simmons would also make for a great sub package LB or "enforcer" / robber strong safety when the opponent comes out in spread formations. I like getting Simmons WAY more than what our options are at 9. If we had to give up picks to do it I'd rather stay put... but Yannick gives us extra mobility to get in better range to fill actual needs, if he can't net a first round pick straight up.
I think Giants get the better side of the trade but... Jags are in a low leverage situation with Yannick because they suck. With this trade Jags get their guy.
On the other hand damn, Giants just traded down from 4 to 9 and from 36 to 42... and got Yannick Ngakoue, a first round pick next year, and another third this year for depth.
Damn. fuckin Giants now have their choice of Derrick Brown, Ceedee Lamb / Jerry Jeudy, or Andrew Thomas.
Simmons was who I was hoping for. Carolina has to do a better job protecting their quarterback, whether it's Teddy or a rookie next year. Wirfs is a foundational piece.
If you say "they moved up from 9 to 6" it doesn't sound as good as "they got Simmons instead of _______" If Simmons is as big of a stud as we think then Jags do just fine in this trade.
New York Giants select Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia Giants trade down twice, pick up an extra 1st and 3rd, move up in the second, get Yannick, three tackles go, and they still get the best in class lmao. New York has already won this draft.
Fuckin Yannick, Andrew Thomas, and a first round pick next year L M F A O That's 3 A+'s with one draft pick what the fuck This draft is already broken LOL start it over. Gettleman is not this smart. Literally THREE TIMES as good as just staying put and taking BPA at 4.
9 picks down and we've had 4 tackles go, 2 QBs, and then the top 3 players otherwise. Seems realistic to me. Just got there in a creative way haha
