Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Banter New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

It's always my co-host, Nick Vallado.

Tonight we're here doing a live mailbag show. So bear with me. I'm going to give people a little bit time to get in. I tweeted out the link. I think Nick is about to tweet out the link himself.

We want to let some people get in here before we start rolling with this it's our first ever live mailbag we'll be on here for about an hour tonight

until about 720 we had a lot hold on what's up dan sorry guys a little bit of technical

difficulty i had the mailbag rolling live somewhere else, and we didn't turn off the sound. But we're good. We're back, and we're talking Giants football. And look, we've got an hour tonight. We haven't done a mailbag in a long time, Nick. So I don't know about your DMs and your replies, but I was flooded with questions. and the reality situation is we're not going to be able to get through all of these questions in our

tonight so we will do a second part of the mailbag tomorrow. It may or may not be a live show. This one is definitely, obviously, as you can tell, a live show. I want to make one thing clear before we get started on the questions here tonight. And we're going to let more people come in. There's only 20 people here currently. We've had about 350 to 400 on the live shows at

the game. So hopefully we can let some people get in. I'll tweet the link again. But I want to make one

thing clear as far as these shows go for tonight and moving forward. If you do use the super chat

function and donate to our calls within this chat while watching the live show and put a question in that while using the super chat function and donate to our calls within this chat while watching the live

show and put a question in that while using super fat chat function your question will be moved

to the top of the list and answered first almost uh in the same way that larry davis was hoping

richard lewis kidney would be moved to the top of the list when he met with Mr. Heiman at that Jewish

diner, but incurb your enthusiasm. But unfortunately, little did he know, a little ski lift

mish mishap with the Orthodox Jewish daughter of Mr. Heineman led to a disaster for Larry

as Richard Lewis was not, in fact, moved up the kidney list. But your question will be moved up the list to number one. So if you use the super chat function, you ask us a question, this is now and moving forward. We'll treat it as a donation to our show and to our cause and to our efforts and keeping us alive and letting us keep the lights on, as some people say. And your question will be moved to the top. So the best way to get your question answered is by using the super chat function and asking a question via that.

But we will first start by answering all of the questions that were sent into us prior to tonight. And we will go there until we get a question from the super chat. So thank you for those tuning in. I'm letting more people trickle in. We're up to a decent number, not where I want to be,

but I'll tweet out again. Nick, you tweet as well. But while we do that, Nick, let's get to the first question of tonight's mailbag. And the first question of tonight's mailbag is from Yankee Mandela. He asks, Nick and Dan, what's your opinion on our current draft process and what what would you like to see change moving forward? It's a great question. It is a great question. And I think both draft, you have to kind of look at them differently because the first draft, it was their first draft, but they were also operating with a lot of scouts that were not in the second draft. A lot of Dave Gettleman's scouts. And we talked about that a lot. It seemed like it was more of a high upside type of guy. Hey, let's just bet on traits, bet on young players and we'll attempt to develop them. And then now in this draft, a little bit different, I've remained high on John Michael Schmitz and Jalen Hyde. I hope they use them a little bit better. I still think it's early to really answer this question. But for the sake of a mailbag, I want to see them develop.

That's what I want to see. I want to see them develop specifically Evan Neal and that first Joe Shane class because we're not getting a huge impact from them. Not even Kvon-Tibodeau,

unfortunately. Kavon-Tibodeo look, he has four sacks. He matched his sack total from last year.

But I'm not watching him being like, wow, this is a difference maker. This is a top five pick.

I'm watching Kavon Tibido and I'm like, hey, there's a good play there. Don't see him for a little while. Hey, he's hustling. I'd like to see him do this. I'd like to see him develop a pass rushing repertoire.
