While it was great to get an impact RB, their offensive struggles put things in perspective. Hitting on a QB, particularly a big pocket type who can benefit from the protections, settles your position for the next decade. Hitting on a RB, which they did, well, it sure is cool for highlight reels.
We need to wait a few years of course but I am certain their decision to pass on Darnold will haunt them. And I think the Jets are going to rise to prominence in the years ahead largely due to that one draft selection, and make that mistake very obvious.
Couldn't agree more. Darnold is going to be VERY good. He's struggling a bit this year, but not nearly as much as Goff did his rookie year (and look how that turned out!)
Heading into this season, the Giants truly believed they had a chance to "win now." They felt the were victimized by a slew of injuries in 2017 and that Eli had one or two more good years in him. They totally miscalculated (mainly due to a horrific O-Line) and now they might have set themselves back several years because they thought they had a chance to win now.
