| 0:02.0 | Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast, brought to you by Band Dual Sportsbook on the Believe Network. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, as the beat writer in the heart of Giants Nation, nobody beats the biz. Chris Bisignano. All right, Chris, so look, a couple surprises last night at 5 and 10. from the standpoint at the fifth overall pick that overall reese fell although it is a scenario we brought up on the last podcast like what do you do if reese is there they took them i'll be honest with you was very happy with that selection especially if they're going to play them off ball to be honest with you but you can also use them on the edge and and you know a lot of |
| 0:37.6 | fans saying i'll just go into this real quick a lot of fans saying how many how many edge rushers |
| 0:41.1 | do you need well ask ask ernie or corzi okay how many edge rushers do you need so we built |
| 0:45.7 | championships that way so even if they were going to use them on the edge fine the 10th overall |
| 0:50.2 | pick was a surprise and it was a surprise because of some medicals from Mowanoa and the fact that they passed |
| 0:59.3 | on a player who I predicting now for the next 10 to 12 years will come back to torture |
| 1:05.3 | us and Caleb Downs. |
| 1:07.7 | That was one that the ideal scenario for the giants was Caleb downs will be there at 10 yeah |
| 1:14.0 | and I thought well there's really that's going to be slim and when it happened I was stunned and |
| 1:19.9 | and like I did a live stream last night and everyone was like downs downs downs down's downs and when |
| 1:25.0 | they took Malanoa it's no knock on Malanoa. Okay, he could be a mauling guard |
| 1:30.0 | and move to tackle. He's to tackle the future. Great. I hope, again, I hope I'm wrong. I don't root for |
| 1:36.2 | my narrative to be correct when I disagree with what the Giants do. Okay. I want to be wrong here. |
| 1:41.8 | But I'm scared to death that we passed on, if not the best, |
| 1:47.0 | the second best player in the draft. |
| 1:48.4 | And they went to a rival. |
| 1:49.8 | Dallas, of course, being Dallas could not trade up fast enough to grab them. |
| 1:54.0 | And now we have to watch him for the, for, you know, the foreseeable future. |
| 1:58.2 | So look, they're building the trenches, which was what we always |
| 2:01.4 | wanted. It's that second pick that kind of makes me a little nervous, especially with the |
| 2:05.9 | medicals. And there you go. There's the first two picks of the drift. Neither player is 21 yet, |
