| 0:49.6 | Welcome back. |
| 0:50.7 | This is the Big Blue Banter New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. |
| 0:55.7 | Joined as always by Nick Vallado, my co-host and trusted partner in crime. |
| 1:00.3 | And it's not quite as exciting of a day three as it was a day one, midday two for the New York Football Giants, when they not only found a way to acquire just incredible amount of draft capital for the 20-22 draft, |
| 1:11.5 | but also draft players who are awesome. Like, quite literally, we would have been happy with Z. Not happy, I wouldn't have been happy, but Nick would have been happy with Zizzo Lari at 11. I would have been fine with it. I would have been fine with it. Okay, and not like thrilled, but you would have been fine with it. and I would have been like, ah, a little bit of a reach, whatever. |
| 1:08.6 | Got him at 50. |
| 1:09.7 | And then, of course, Cadarius Tony, a guy we're warming up to more and more. To start the draft off with those two and Aaron Robinson, who the more you watch, the more exciting, that pick gets, especially if you factor in how important pass coverage in the NFL, day one and two were just knockout slam dunks when you also add in all that 22 capital.

That's what they do. I believe in that strategy. I do not think you should force picks for need. And with the first pick off the board, |
| 2:04.9 | the Giants went with Edge Pass Rusher, Ellerson Smith, the player who Nick has been huge on for |
| 2:11.2 | multiple months. I mean, Nick went on, I believe, talking Giants podcast, talked about Ellerson |
| 2:15.3 | Smith as a sleeper last night on our targets section |
| 2:18.5 | of our reaction to day two podcast. We named Ellerson Smith. And I want to get into Smith, but I want to |
| 2:24.2 | first start by asking you, Nick, do you agree with the idea, because I think we both agree that |
| 2:29.7 | Smith is a good value at this spot. Now, do you think that it was the right decision to go with the right, a big value play here over kind of jamming through an offensive guard at this spot, which I know a lot of fans wanted them to do? I'm all about the value, to be honest, and I'd rather them go in that direction. It's pretty apparent at this point. We're recording this, and there's still a seventh round to go down, but |
