Blue Wire.

Welcome back. It's the big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join as always my co-ist Nick Bellado. Here we are. Another podcast is almost the end of April, Nick.

So we are banging these out to the end of April. I'm excited. This is one of my favorite ones to do every year because you know me. I love the 30,000 foot view discussions about where the roster is, where it's headed, where some of the processes that went behind the Giants decision. What were some of the themes that went into the draft? Things are decisions. What are some of the themes that went into the draft? Things of that nature. And so we're going to take a 30,000 foot view today of the giant's

draft in 2023 with a focus on some of the critical things they did like trading up trading

up twice in this draft giving up most of their day three capital and also the idea behind

you know what how does it impact how did their decisions in this class impact or how were there in this I impact, how did their decisions in this class impact, or how were

there in this, I'm sorry, how were the decision in this class impacted by the actual class

overall, Nick, which is something I brought up as well on Twitter. And we'll talk about a little bit

today. I want to, I want to first get your overall thoughts and an overview of how do you think

the Giants approached this draft class and if they accomplished

what they set out to do?

I think they did accomplish what they set out to do.

I'll say this.

At the start of not even just the draft class or the draft process, but even free agency,

the Giants had two major holes on each side of the football.

On defense, their critical vulnerability was stopping the run.

They couldn't stop the run.

They couldn't fit power gap.

They had Leonard Williams and Dexter Lawrence playing way too many snaps, and they wanted

to rectify that situation.

They did so by getting nacho and by signing a Sean Robinson.
