Blue Wire.

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

Joined as always my host, Nick Palado. It's almost here, baby. The draft is now two days away from the time of this recording.

48 hours into the start day one we're super excited for this

and so for today we want to get in another my guys podcast we did my guys on offense yesterday

this will be my guys on defense today we will talk about why they're our guys why we like them

so much first consensus where the giants could target them if the giants will target them

and you know different players really here, day one, day two, day three type players at all different positions, just like the offensive podcast. So I think makes it interesting. And then just to give you a little preview of what's to come. And we'll wrap up today's show, by the way, by reviewing some more mock drafts. We're running at a time there. Preview what's to come. Wednesday, we might have a special show. So we're in the process of working on that now. That's not going to give it away until we know we can do it. But we'll also probably do a final recap of like thoughts going into day one type of thing, what we're at with pick 25, trading, trading in, trading out. If not, what type of players could be there, where we'd rank it, you know, who we're happiest with, who were least happy with, things like that. And then obviously, for those who don't know who weren't here in the past, we will have draft recap shows Thursday night. We'll have a recap a day one and a target list podcast for day two. So we'll just go over our favorite targets for day two for the Giants there. Then after Friday, we'll have a recap show for day two, potentially a targets list for day three. We'll go over that most likely. I think that's what we did last year. And then finally, a final recap of day three and potentially early UDFA's, if that news is already out. And then we'll regroup that day, Sunday, and then probably Monday we'll have a more like grades type podcast, overall outlook type podcast, something like that. You know, as when you're a kid, Dan, you look forward and a lot to your birthday. You know, you get your presence, you know, you're turning a different age. It's all exciting all that shit, man. That's kind of what the draft is, man. It's like looking forward to another birthday. And now I'm in my 30s, so birthdays, they're not really nearly as important as they were when you're in your teens and your 20s. But I'll tell you, man, I'm, I'm very stoked and very exciting about Thursday night and what direction Joe Shane and the Giants can take this franchise in because honestly, man, they can go in so many different directions and I'm just really fascinated by their plan. I'm very excited as well. And I'm just just excited for what the Giants do. I'm just excited for the entire draft. I just love watching it unfold. I'm the guy who I have to be on Twitter for my job so we can help, you know, grow our show and like get

more exposure to people who don't know about our show, Nick, but which is really what Twitter has become for me. But even today, like, and by the way, something you've talked about and I've talked about, interactions way down on Twitter because if you don't pay for Twitter blue that they don't move your, your posts up. And I'm not paying for Twitter blue yet. I know you haven't yet.

I lost my check mark, my beloved blue check mark.

You did. they don't move your your posts up and I'm not paying for Twitter blue yet I know you haven't yet I lost my check mark my beloved blue check mark you did it was a sad day when I know you were probably so good except the but I'm not going to pay for that yet I don't see enough value in it and I just don't want to be the dude I'll pay for it when it's cool to pay for it like right now it's the cool thing is to not pay for it and you're looked at like worse if you are paying for So I'll pay for it when it's cool to pay for it. Like right now, it's the cool thing is to not pay for it and you're looked at like

worse if you are paying for it. So I'll just wait until the day comes where you can pay for it. Because I do think it's somewhat worth the $8 because you can edit. And especially if you're if the posts are moving up like and people are getting exposure to your work versus not getting exposure to your work when you're not on it,

especially for what we do.

Promotion is key.

But for now, I'm not paying for it. I'll say this, though. I've seen people who have paid for it and they get to type out much more than what is it, 180 characters. Yeah, you get longer tweets. That's pretty valuable when you're trying to break down tape and stuff like that. And you get longer videos too. So you can put out longer.

Like I know you do a lot of video work, Nick.

You can put out longer videos as well. So there's that. I was never a blue checkmark guy, though, you know? Like that, that was never that guy. I never really cared for any of that stuff. But that does. There's utility in that. Yeah. So you'll see us throughout on Twitter as well.

But my point of that was saying anyway, it was long tangent,

was just that I'm the type of guy, Nick, who I will be off Twitter during the picks because I hate getting them tip to me. And I want to see it across my TV screen. I want to see, I want that moment of he is at the podium. He says, the Los Angeles Chargers select, and I don't know what it is. And I hear that first letter of the first name.

And I'm like, okay, got this.

Now it's like, all right.

Oh, damn it.
