If JPP can stay healthy, we have a very special player on our hands. Hopefully he can stay healthy throughout his career, bc if he does, watch out.

scottyboy · 06-10-2012, 02:27 PM

I don't think I've ever been more wrong about a prospect than I was JPP.

And I am certainly ok with that.

Right behind him is Chris Houston. I loved Chris Houston

bigbluedefense · 06-10-2012, 02:34 PM

I loved Chris Houston too.

I think my biggest miss was Vernon Gholston. And Brady Quinn. I was fully convinced that Quinn was the next Tom Brady. Yikes.

I remember bitching at you about how it was a good pick on draft day, haha. At least you've accepted him as a legit Giants player!

Ouch. I hated Brady Quinn. And Clausen. Never understood the hype for either player.

But I'm usually wrong about 90% of other prospects. I don't know why, but I usually have a good feel for QBs.

I hated Clausen. I just fell for the Charlie Weiss hype with Brady Quinn. I fell for it big time. I'm usually pretty good with quarterbacks, but I missed bad on Quinn.

I think my biggest misses where Gholston, Sinorice and Ginn Jr. I thought Ginn would be a solid #2, I thought he was reached on, but I thought he would still pan out. I thought Sinorice would become something special for us along with Smith but sadly it was only Smith. O and Gholston looked like he would be a stud but boy was I wrong, what a waste of athleticism and raw strength.

bigbluedefense · 06-10-2012, 05:03 PM

Bobby Carpenter was another big miss of mine. That was when I was kind of new at evaluating college players though.

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 05:14 PM

Yea all of my misses came early in my draft watching. I usually don't scout a lot of players, just ones I think will fall to wherever we pick.

bigbluedefense · 06-10-2012, 07:14 PM

I'm still upset that we drafted Phillip Dillard over Geno Atkins

:(

And I loved Jimmy Graham too but I knew we wouldn't draft him bc we took Beckum the year before.

I mean, I can't complain obviously, but can you imagine if we had both of those guys on our team right now? Forget it.

I didn't think Gronk would be this good though. I took him off my personal board bc of his perceived back problems in the draft.

I was also wrong about Sean Lee.

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 07:32 PM

Yea I'm so pissed we ever drafted Beckum. Not only did he bust, but prevented is from taking Graham, Gronk, Hernandez, Moeaki, Pitta and Dickson. That was a helluva TE class, one of the best ever.

Giantsfan1080 · 06-10-2012, 08:47 PM

There's really no guarantee we take any of those guys anyway even without Beckum.

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 09:08 PM

Obviously, but having him proved that we had interest in a TE and had we not drafted him we would have been much more likely to take one of them.

Giantsfan1080 · 06-10-2012, 10:16 PM

David Diehl got a DUI tonight. Wish he called a cab.

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 10:17 PM

Wish he would have called me, I'd have gladly driven the guy.

Giantsfan1080 · 06-10-2012, 10:18 PM

Yeah it sucks. Very surprised.

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 10:19 PM

I'm sure Coughlin will be pissed

Giantsfan1080 · 06-10-2012, 10:20 PM

I don't remember what we did when McKenzie got one but I'm sure it will be the same punishment.

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 10:25 PM

Yea he'll make an example out of him that's for sure. Coughlin is one man I would never want to piss off, right up their with Brock Lesnar and Casey Anthony.

Giantsfan1080 · 06-10-2012, 10:29 PM

I don't think he'll make an example of him. There's probably a team policy already in place and it will fall in line with that. Did Kareem even miss a game?

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 10:50 PM

O I'm not saying we'll hear about it or it will be a suspension or anything, but he'll probably yell at him in front of the team and do something infront of the team.

Giantsfan1080 · 06-10-2012, 11:01 PM

Yeah that might be possible. He hit 4 parked cars according to Miked Up so sounds like he was way over the limit.

OSUGiants17 · 06-10-2012, 11:12 PM

Ugh...that's bad man. 1 car would have been bad enough, but 4?!?! At least they where parked and he didn't hit a moving car with anyone in it.

scottyboy · 06-11-2012, 03:51 AM

dammit DD. one of my favorites. would never have expected this from him

bigbluedefense · 06-11-2012, 08:12 AM

Yeah I'm disappointed. Didn't expect that from Diehl. He'll be ok though.

I'm glad this happened now, instead of during the season. It's a reminder to the team to stay focused. We don't need another Burress situation. Hopefully this is a wakeup call to the rest of the team.

Jughead10 · 06-11-2012, 08:33 AM

Oh thats bad. 4 parked cars? I bet he does get benched the first game. At least the first half. I know this is his first strike, but its a bad one. They might want to come out and suspend him one game just so the NFL doesn't get involved. They prefer the teams take care of this crap even if the punishment is just slightly less than they would have given. They only really get involved when teams drag their feet.
