1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Obviously we had three picks. It's still the seventh round, 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: still going. I didn't trade back so we could get 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: to this sooner. Um with the Ellison Smith who we 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: took on the fourth round as a kid that played 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: in Northern Iowa. Uh didn't play this fall obviously because 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: of the because of COVID not he didn't opt out, 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: they just didn't play, and he played the Senior Bowl. 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: He's long, he's athletic. Um. We we watched him on 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: his Northern Iowa tape and uh, you know what kind 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: of sold us on him was they played Iowa State 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: and he must have played about any five nineties snaps 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: and he's just a real tough kid. He's athletic, he's long, 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: he's got some pass rush uh potential, and he's instinctive. 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: So we really liked him. In the sixth round, we 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, with the first sixth round pick, we took 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: running back out of Arizona, Gary Brightwell. Um, he's a 17 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: big kid, he's got a heavy body. He's a heavy 18 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: body runner. You know, he's in the two twenty range 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: and he really is a quality team special teams player. 20 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: So he's got the dual value. And then the last. 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: Our last pick was RHO Darius Williams out of Oklahoma State. RHA. 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: Darius is um. You know, we had a solid value 23 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: on him on the board. He's athletic, he's fast, he 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: can carry the vertical, he plays our style, he's a 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: press conner, and we were just very very pleased to 26 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: see him there. So those are our last three. Tom 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: cannab a p Hey, Dave, how are you doing good? Time? 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: How are you, sir? Good? When you guys talked leading 29 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: into the draft, and you also talked about free agency, 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: I think Kevin said you wanted to be aggressive. Did 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: that carry over into the draft and and maybe lead 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: to some of the trades, I think it did. You know, 33 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: we we you know, we've had that mindset and uh, 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, we just we just felt like, you know, 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: it's all about calculated risk, Tom, it's all about taking 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: you know. Uh, you know, you go to Vegas, go 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: to Atlantic City, and some people aggressive, some people on 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: and it's just you know, sometimes it's instincts. Sometimes it's 39 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: you know, just looking at the board and seeing where 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna take you. So, you know, we felt, you know, 41 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: we were aggressive in the off season and in the 42 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: in the roster building season. There's no off season here. 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: We're aggressive in the roster building seasons, both in free 44 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: agency and in the draft. Thank you, and again the 45 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: athletic hey, Dave obviously didn't make any picks on the 46 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: offensive line, and it really weren't aggressive and free to 47 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: see that position. Just do you think that position is 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: good enough? And why do you feel that way? So? Well, 49 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, first of all, it's you don't want it 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: to be good enough. You want it to be good 51 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: planet simple, Okay, it's really apparent that we have a 52 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: little more confidence in our offensive lineman you know, players 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: than you guys do. All right, and uh, I'm just 54 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna stay. We're be with you know, the group that 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: we have. Obviously, you're always trying to get better and 56 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: you're not gonna just, you know, take a player. To 57 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: take a player, you're gonna take him because you think 58 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: he's going to improve the value of your team. So 59 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: we've right now our offensive line is what it is, 60 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: and the players are who they are, and we're gonna 61 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: move forward. Ryan down leaving New York Coast, Dave, you 62 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: took two more corners and you really have I don't know, 63 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: like ten twelve corners that you've been drawing invested, either 64 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: draft picks or trades like yacht um? Why so many corners? 65 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: And does that mean somebody, somebody's got to be the 66 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: odd man out here? I imagine. Well, first of all, 67 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: as you, as the media says, and as you know, 68 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: the public perception is, this is a passing league. So 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: why not a lot of connors? Okay? I told I've 70 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: said it before, Ryan, I'll say it again. You can 71 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: never have too many good players at a position. And 72 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: you know when everybody comes in with the games begin, 73 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: And did you realize that you were had a way 74 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: eighty picks there after you've finished that? Uh, you traded 75 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: that fifth rounder last night? It was an eight pick gap? 76 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: What was that? Like? I knew it was gonna be 77 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: a while and I was gonna have time to do 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: a number of things, my taxes, etcetera, etcetera. You know, 79 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: it's a long way, but listen, that's the way it is. 80 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: That's the way it turned out during run ESPN. Hey Dave, 81 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: how are you doing good for joh I'm curious what 82 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: you think. The perception is obviously going to be here 83 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: and you here it already that Joe in his second year, 84 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: his influences increasing, His fingerprints are all over some of 85 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: the philosophical things. That's you know, with the trades that 86 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: that never happened before. I'm wondering what you think of that. 87 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: I think that we have a great collaborative group going here. 88 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: It's not about me, it's not about Joe. It's about 89 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. Did his role or how 90 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: much does it did his really changing? You're too, Jordan. 91 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: We collaborate. We've been collaborating since he walked in the door. 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: It's about the New York Giants, our Schwartznirk post. Hey dad, 93 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: how you doing? Kids? Good? Good? Um? Allison Smith he 94 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: said he's got some pass rush. Um. I mean he's 95 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: a he was a skinny kid who became a not 96 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: skinny kid. Obviously, very long arms, big hands, things like that. 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: You know, you've got a lot of guys. Now you 98 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: drafted two of them. Uh, You've got you know, two 99 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: guys coming back, x Man and Carter. You've got some 100 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: guys other guys there. I mean, where do you see 101 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: that edge rush situation? Now? Wow, it's there's a lot 102 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 1: of competition there, Paul. You know we've got. You know, listen, 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: I've said this a million times. The fundamental fundamentally, the 104 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: college kids are further behind them. They used to be 105 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, excuse me. At 106 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's it's it's about do 107 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: they have the talent, the physical talent, the field, the 108 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: instinct to develop in a pass rushers. Both of these 109 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: kids do. Ellison's definitely does. That's why we drafted them. 110 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, it's about competition. 111 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: It's about competition, and we just feel like we've with 112 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: those two draft picks, we've upgraded real quick. Follow up. 113 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: The giants have not done well in the last ten years. 114 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: You haven't been here for all of that. With that third, fourth, 115 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: fifth round, you know, stab at a pass rusher. Do 116 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: you think with these two guys, one or two of them, 117 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: you got it right? I always think I got it right. 118 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: I just learned from At the end of the day, 119 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: we'll find listen, Paul, we'll know in three years whether 120 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: we got this right. And that's what it is, Okay, 121 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, perception, it's you know what the 122 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: media writes about players. You know, we put a ton 123 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: of time into this. We don't do this for a hobby, 124 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: all right, And at the end of the day and 125 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: three years we'll know if we were right or not. 126 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Thanks last one here, Matt Lombardo fansided, Hey, Dave, how's 127 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: it going good?
