I mean, really, where are we considered very talented? Maybe D-Line, WR, and RB? Ouch.
Gonna need more than 2 years IMO at this point to fix this mess.
Very dark times ahead. Who’s going to replace Adkins, Dunlap, Green, hell even Huber. With the lack of urgency this FO has fixing issues, by the time we fix today’s issues ( if we get lucky and nail a couple drafts which is highly unlikely) we will have bigger issues. We have no depth at all, I see the beginning of another lost decade. Sad, very sad.

Considering Tobin can’t draft linebackers to save his life I don’t have much hope for Pratt, if he can’t start on this linebacker core by the end of the year I’d be concerned. Wren is a big and that’s cool but he’s a project who fans hyped up. I think Micheal Jordon could turn into a good guard.
Sample is a joke. That would of been a good pick in the 5th round not the second

Ironically enough, I think it's Tyler Eifert

Eifert (of all people) in 2013 started 15 games. The year before there was Zeitler, year before that A.J. Green.

The kick off return touchdown by Phillips that was called back because of a so called holding call on Auden Tate would have put us in the win column.I didn’t see any holding there.Also Vigil was in bounds when he recovered that fumble,then he slid out of bounds.

Both were total BS but when we can’t even get a damn first down before halftime it makes it kinda hard to blame the refs. Even the final play imo was bs but we played like crap and that’s all there is to it. Play better and you overcome calls/non calls like that. Every team has bad calls, even NE. But when your aggressive on offense keeping your foot on the other teams throat those calls don’t have the impact to decide the game.

Just wondering if we can talk about how our veteran QB overthrew AUDEN TATE ON A SLANT ROUTE?!
Man, at least I'll be excited for the high draft pick.

I'm down with that. I'm all in on Andrew Thomas if this team gets a top 5 pick. Get what are likely to be the number 1 OTs in 18 and 19 and run them out as your starters in 20. Run Hart the bum and Glenn the paperweight out of town and save about 16-18 mil in cap. Hope Mikey pulls the fork out of his ass and signs a real free agent guard in the 10 mil per range. Actually get serious about fixing this line already.

I feel like Eifert will stay healthy all season this year because it really doesn't matter if he's healthy.

Is he past his prime or just playing it safe?

The highlight of the day for me was watching their rookie 3rd round TE Knox destroy us. Thank God we didn’t take him instead of Sample! The dream lives!! #TankforTua! #HopeforHebert!

I feel like all of the above. Injuries rob guys of athleticism. He's had so many, and major injuries too.

We need a real GM that turn us around sooner
Than later. Kinda like how John Dorsey did with the Browns.
I've had enough of Tobin and his very underwhelming drafts

We apparently wanted a 1 dimensional blocking TE in the 2nd that we could have selected in the 3rd or 4th Round. Maybe he would have been there in the 5th...

Lets see...they didn't hire a GM through or after the 90's. My guess is they view the 5 straight playoff appearances as some kind of football nirvana where they are geniuses. And they view now as just what happens after you win.
So I doubt you get a GM. When Katie owns the team, I doubt you get a GM too.

If the Giants can bench Eli freakin Manning surely we can bench Dalton. Man if Dalton won us 2 SB’s Brown would keep him the starter for 20+ years regardless how he plays.
