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

0:05.7

Join as always my co-st Nick Vallado. One of our yearly traditions has become after the draft.

0:11.1

Nick and I evaluate how the Giants' biggest rivals have done in their drafts, what we think about

0:16.0

their drafts. We think about their roster construction moving forward. It's something Joe Shane talks about a lot. He says one of the, and he's mentioned this throughout his tenure, and so did Gettleman, GMs before him. One thing we do is we try to build to beat the teams in our division. So without further ado, Nick, let's take a look at some of the drafts around the NFC East, starting with the defending Super Bowl champs, the Philadelphia Eagles. I want to give our thoughts on what they did. They were picking at the very end of the draft, obviously. They traded up in round one, one pick ahead of the Chiefs, for whatever reason, though I don't think they needed to, but they did. And they ultimately ended up with a big draft class here, a lot of different draft picks.

0:55.4

So we can start wherever you like, but I just want to get your overall thoughts on what the Eagles did.

0:59.8

Look, it's hard to go against Harry Roseman.

1:02.9

Harry Roseman usually does a great job when it comes to the draft, identifying, locating exactly what his coaches need, bringing in talent.

1:10.2

There was 10 draft picks here for the

1:12.1

Philadelphia Eagles. And going through the entire division, not to put the cart before the horse,

1:16.1

I liked every draft of all the other teams in the NFC East, which is unfortunate because we are

1:21.2

over the moon about the New York Giants draft. And then I'm like, oh, let me look at all these

1:25.3

those collective drafts from the Eagles and the Cowboys and the commanders. And I'm like, oh, let me look at all these collective drafts from the Eagles and the Cowboys and the commanders.

1:29.4

And I'm like, shit, I like all of these draft classes.

1:32.4

But to stick with the Philadelphia Eagles, you get playmakers in the secondary and at the second level with Jihad Campbell and Andrew McCuba.

1:42.7

Jihad Campbell linebacker out of Alabama.

1:44.7

You can play him on edge a little bit. It's just going to be a weapon for Vic Fangio.

1:48.4

And then McCuba, who can play the slot, can play the nickel and can also be that safety

1:53.1

for you for again, Vic Fangio's defense. You know he's going to be able to use these guys

1:57.6

to their best of their ability. In a defense that was already full of youth,

2:02.7

and that was already young and explosive, and now you add them to with Jalen Carter and Nolan

2:07.5

Smith and Zach Bon, Jalick's Hunt, Keely Ringo, a bunch of Georgia guys, Reed Blankenship,
