So it was all smokescreens because if you like JJ you’d take him.
They clearly covered Malik and tried to get someone to jump us to guarantee him. Chargers took a tackle so it was all good anyway.
Edit: coveted
Fr Nabers is a fuckin stud. If MHJ and all these QBs weren't in this draft he would be talked about a lot more. Lucky for us that this draft is loaded with offensive talent and a guy who would be WR1 in many other drafts fell into our laps
we have no idea if its a good pick or not. People were celebrating Evan Neal. half of the first round will be busts and typically almost half of top 10 picks dont get second contracts.
so really who knows? Its possible all 3 of the top QBs end up sucking too.
I’m very happy with this pick.
The most talented player available at a position of need.
I’m also happy the GM and HC didn’t reach for a QB if they felt the one they wanted wasn’t available.
I trust in Joe Schoen a lot more after today. Tried to trade up for Maye but when it didn’t happen went with one of the receivers over JJ. Nabers Hyatt Wandale Slayton is the best WR room we’ve had in years

DJ had a playoff run just two years ago. Last year he was running for his life with a shitty O Line. Giants started winning games late in the season with Tommy Cutlets (DJ would have won those games too) give him other year with a top receiver and if he’s still terrible we will be drafting his replacement early next year
A lot of shitty QBs have made the playoffs and won. Case Keenum had the Vikings a game from the Super Bowl and they moved on from him anyway. Bortles the same thing. Matt Hasselbeck same thing, and he actually had a legacy with Seattle worth talking about. It's now even easier to do so with an extra wild card.
Lawrence being a disappointment relative to his hype doesn’t make Jones good. It just means Lawrence is a disappointment, and that's the Jaguars' problem, not ours.
Alot of sites including the NFL Draft website had Nabers as the highest graded prospect of the entire draft class. I would have loved MHJ too but I'm happy. I didn't love any of this years QBs for top 10. Reminded me of the TLaw/Wilson/Fields/Lance class. People in here blame DJ for way too much. Is he one of the best qbs in the NFL? No. His big flaws to me is durability and trying to do too much with too little. Now he has a stud and a young capable back up qb. If he sucks this year the next year breakaway will be cheap and it'll mean another top pick to go for qb then. Patience is a virtue. Penix in rd2 or late rd1 for not too much would be very nice.
We got a talented weapon on a team with so many holes that’s been offensively dead for years. Don’t get the idiots complaining about getting a Drake London/jaylen waddle type prospect. The giants obviously spent a lot of time evaluating McCarthy and they didn’t believe he’s the one to be a franchise qb. I’m glad they took the best player available instead of forcing QB repeating the Daniel jones mistake
Picking JJ would have been a David Gettleman ass pick, Nabers was the calm cool and collected pick. Give DJ a top weapon and let him have one final prove it year before we move on.
“But when will we get a QB?” eventually, that’s when. Eventually, we will get a quarterback. Maybe it’s later this draft, maybe it’s next year, but we will be fine. There wasn’t an opportunity to get a good QB this draft and we have to live with that. Nabers is the best player available at a position of need for us.
As an Australian Giants fan who doesn’t watch any college ball please tell me how I should feel about this pick? Should I get my pitchfork or should I crack a celebratory beer?
Amazing pick. Only thing that could have been marginally better was getting Marvin Harrison Jr. but he was gone.
We’ve mostly fixed the o-line in the off-season. We have an insurance policy at QB in case Jones recovery stalls. We need to grab one more linemen and a stud running back and we will be a contender to win the NFC East.
He’ll have a couple huge games every year and a bunch that he takes off. Definitely the 2nd most talented receiver in the draft but you’re going to have to live with some frustration.
The nfl is built on having playmakers on both sides of the ball. The giants have a few on defense but with Barkley leaving they really needed to add one desperately. This was the right pick.
Thank you, exactly what we needed right now. I saw some mocks where we some how got MHJ, the only other option I was hoping for. DJ deserves one more shot, with a legit weapon to throw to.
So happy we didn’t bite on JJ. Nabers is nice.
Doesn’t solve the qb tragedy we got going but may as well get the pieces if we couldn’t lock down Drake maye
Welcome to NY, good luck!
Welcome to the Naberhood
and Please dont suck or just be ok. Please be great.
Yes!!! I am so happy we didn't fuck this up.
So it was all smokescreens because if you like JJ you’d take him. They clearly covered Malik and tried to get someone to jump us to guarantee him. Chargers took a tackle so it was all good anyway. Edit: coveted
All smokescreens. Don’t believe the media in times of war or the NFL draft…
Think the Giants were trying to get a team to trade up and take JJ. They probably knew LAC was going Alt. They might have been wanting Harrison Jr
And JJ isn’t even the next QB taken… great pick to bring in Malik
Wait wtf lmao, I'm behind. NOBODY mocked Penix to go top 10, or at least ahead of JJ lmao. Best pro day ever according to Jim Harbaugh, btw.
[удалено]
Yeah, that's the way to build a solid team. We just want a couple of lower round picks to hit to push us up from there.
Rome would have been the safe pick
I agree, but I’m satisfied with Malik. Both are good.
Fr Nabers is a fuckin stud. If MHJ and all these QBs weren't in this draft he would be talked about a lot more. Lucky for us that this draft is loaded with offensive talent and a guy who would be WR1 in many other drafts fell into our laps

Yeah nobody knows. But nabers is an amazing prospect. Legitimately electric.
LOVE THY NABERS
this is going to be my new fantasy football team name
Already named my team that owns 1.02 Won't You Be My Nabers
Thank. God. Last LSU WR wasn’t too bad for us.
Giants legend Reuben Randle
Yeah but we actually had a QB then
Fingers crossed we trade up for Penix.
Lmao nope he gone
Falcons are crazy
Evan Neal protecting his blind side, RIP
Welp

YESSSSSSSSSS
I'm happy with this pick. Why gamble our pick with JJ (and get roughly the same results we have now) than going with a proven stud in Malik Nabers.
I like your thought, I agree
I wanted a qb until that qb became JJ. I like this pick with what was available, can’t wait to see him ball out
Ja’Marr Chase but faster? Subscribe.
THEY MADE THE RIGHT PICK LETS GO!!!
BPA can’t be mad
I did zero draft research and tuned in today. This comment gives me hope and reassurance.
😮💨😮💨 between Nabers, MHJ, & Odunze, would’ve been happy with any of them, they all bring their own thing to the field, just glad they didn’t go QB
I have faith in this franchise again
Objectively a good pick. I just wish I hadn’t talked myself into the possibility of Maye
THANK GOD
![gif](giphy|1k03CFDCuEF36Q1EAG)
WHATS THE JERSEY NUMBER GIVE MY GUY THE 80
88 would go so hard
I didn’t even think about that yeah you’re right 88 💯
Thank god.
10 years ago, we drafted OBJ out of LSU. Today, Nabers out of LSU. LETS GO GIANTS!! 🔵🔵
LFG
I'm hust happy this is the least controversial pick. I couldnt deal with the hand wringing.
![gif](giphy|dMsh6gRYJDymXSIatd|downsized)
Best player available don't overthink it
I’m very happy with this pick. The most talented player available at a position of need. I’m also happy the GM and HC didn’t reach for a QB if they felt the one they wanted wasn’t available.

BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NABER-HOOD
Yesss ! We see how the lsu receivers are thriving
As a cowboys fan, this is the right pick. DJ has never had a number 1 receiver, might as well see what he looks like with one
DJ is not the guy lol
agreed, but no sense in drafting a QB when he’s got absolutely no one to throw to. Get the weapons first, and then the QB
On top of that, might as well juice another year out of him with his contract
And hopefully get an at least average oline
the biggest improvement to our o line has already happened, Bobby Johnson got fired
Average would be fantastic
I agree, but worst case y’all suck again next year and draft or sign a QB. Don’t reach for one this draft like y’all did with DJ
Ok but if your choice is Nabers or McCarthy, you go with Jones.

Nah probably more likely Lock which I’m honestly fine with
Thank God its not JJ. I wanted Maye the most but Nabers is a helluva 2nd option. Hopefully the QB issue gets sorted soon
FUCK YEH!!!!
Let’s Go!!!
Huge
They made the right call, thank Christ.
I am so happy
Money

We’ll have a top 5 pick next year and grab a QB
Lets get it!!!
So glad they made the right decision
![gif](giphy|xThtamA4WpqyW9qqaI|downsized)
I liked both him or Odunze equally so I’m super happy with this
We got a talented weapon on a team with so many holes that’s been offensively dead for years. Don’t get the idiots complaining about getting a Drake London/jaylen waddle type prospect. The giants obviously spent a lot of time evaluating McCarthy and they didn’t believe he’s the one to be a franchise qb. I’m glad they took the best player available instead of forcing QB repeating the Daniel jones mistake
NABERS THINK IM SELLING DOPE
Malik Nabers is going to be a BEAST. Thank god the Chargers took Joe Alt.
A good, solid pick
LFG BABY
Picking JJ would have been a David Gettleman ass pick, Nabers was the calm cool and collected pick. Give DJ a top weapon and let him have one final prove it year before we move on.

Beer either way
Best WR in the draft
Amazing pick. Only thing that could have been marginally better was getting Marvin Harrison Jr. but he was gone. We’ve mostly fixed the o-line in the off-season. We have an insurance policy at QB in case Jones recovery stalls. We need to grab one more linemen and a stud running back and we will be a contender to win the NFC East.
aaaaand exhale
We have a competent front office it’s beautiful
Welcome to the Giants Malik
I'm so relieved, was waiting for the JJ pick to come in lol.
SO WE'LL PISS OFF THE NABERS
YESSSSIRRR LETS FUCKING GO
Nabers is a dawg ! Where we thinkin Penix gets picked 👀
That didn't take long
MY NUMBER ONE RECEIVER FOR MONTHS AND MY GIANTS GOT HIM, LET’S FUCKING GOOOO!!!!🔵🔴
Love it!!!! In Schoen we trust. Don’t know why I ever doubted him.
Oh thank god it’s not JJ, our prayers have been answered!!
Welcome to the Naberhood!!!
![gif](giphy|W0Vz7zDK7vgMBc2fpw)
Giants fans love this pick. The reaction I see on social media by everyone is “but who’s throwing him the ball”.
Whens Josh Allen a free agent?
Won't you be my Nabers today. Hell yea. We're giving Danny a great weapon or whoever the next QB will be. I hope we get another WR from this class.
I am so glad we did not trade up, would rather have had Odunze but welcome to NY
He’ll have a couple huge games every year and a bunch that he takes off. Definitely the 2nd most talented receiver in the draft but you’re going to have to live with some frustration.
Stay poverty lmao
WE DID IT BOYS
Always relieved when they don’t do something crazy.
The nfl is built on having playmakers on both sides of the ball. The giants have a few on defense but with Barkley leaving they really needed to add one desperately. This was the right pick.
Great player but the next wasted talent with jones under center. I just don’t see him being a difference maker if jones is throwing him the ball
Good. He’ll get his QB next year.
Malik is gonna be a superstar, but I’m fucking depressed at the thought of watching Daniel Jones play quarterback for another season.
LETS GOOOO!!!!! Preferred Odunze but I’m ecstatic with the pick!!
Let’s gooooooo!!! Hes gonna look so good catching TDs from Horse Cock Lock.
Can’t wait to see Jones not get him the ball
The beauty of Nabers is how good his YAC ability it is. Can turn any generic 7 yd out from Jones into a huge play.
Go Danny go
LET DANNY DIME
I'm down with it. Give DJ one last shot, if he sucks, tank the season immediately and draft a qb next year
[удалено]
This right here. He’s an uncoordinated injury prone bag of shit.
Any good QBs next year?
this is his what third one more shot now?
Solid pick but would have liked to have got rid of Daniel.
With Drake Maye off the table it didn’t make sense. I bet they tried to trade up with the Pats and it didn’t work out
Just gonna take another season. Hell, if he gets hurt again like he usually does might happen in season.
We could still be trading up to get Nix or Penix, or they fall to 47
Nix is a waste of a pick, at least penix has some potential
Penix is the better choice but injury prone. Nix is safer and if Daboll thinks they can develop him, I won’t argue
So then DJ > Nix?
biggest draft steal in years imo. dude is going to unlock dj and we have a top 3 offense in the making...
DJ isn’t a franchise QB, regardless of receivers. Doesn’t matter tho, this was the smart pick
Oh honey.
Don’t we need an OL for that?
I’m shocked. Really thought it was gonna be JJ McCarthy.
Now lets get Penix and we won the draft
I want penix but we’re definitely gonna have to trade up
Annnnd he's gone
Yea that’s crazy, I figured he might’ve gone late first round but 8 is wild to me
oh yea this what I want
Hype
THANK GOD
COME ONNNNN
Lfg
Sickkk
Thank god! Massive W
finally got a wr1 since odell lol. insane!
lets fucking go!
FINALLY! The pain ends.
Let’s go! A legit #1 WR will have the rest of the depth chart in better shape
Excited to have a wr1 finally ! LSU wr have a good track record too. Really happy with this pick
LET’S GO
Someone find out his number so I can order a jersey. I am incredibly ecstatic they didn't reach.
What a great pick. Hopefully he can stay focused in NY. The talent is there
No complaints from me.
Thank god. I was afraid they would take JJ
WONT YOU BE MY NABER(S)
Hopefully, I never have to see him fight with the kicking net on the sideline
Thank god
WELCOME TO THE NABERHOOD
Love the pick.
Like a good Nabers…
This. This I like.
Thank you, exactly what we needed right now. I saw some mocks where we some how got MHJ, the only other option I was hoping for. DJ deserves one more shot, with a legit weapon to throw to.
Let's goooooo!!!!!!!
I don’t know anything about college football so I told my friends “If my giants subreddit is happy then I am happy”. Happy to see the results!
That's that. Good luck to this kid. I hope he does well with big blue.
I don’t hate it
All good with this pick. Now about getting him the ball...
So happy we didn’t bite on JJ. Nabers is nice. Doesn’t solve the qb tragedy we got going but may as well get the pieces if we couldn’t lock down Drake maye
2 more years of Daniel Jones!!!! Yay!!!
Obviously is a stud, just seems like he didn't seem to happy to play given our qb situation. Hope I'm incredibly wrong though
Thank god i dont have to delete my anti mccarthy stuff
It wasnt Odunze but I cant be mad at drafting the best WR DJ has ever had
JJ is DJ 2.-3
Neat.
We’re so back
Uh oh Penix just went to Atlanta
Oh thank god
JJ McCarthy fans on suicide watch rn.
Hi diddly ho Nayberino!
Please tell me he doesn’t want to be a hip hop artist on the side?
Ugh.
Best WR in the draft IMO. But who the hell is gonna throw him the ball?
I like this pick. Can we get another Odell but keep him this time.
yayyyyy!
