0 for 8 is a pattern, and that’s what New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is when it comes to trading NFL checkers he’s run for the Giants and Carolina Panthers.
It has recently been speculated that the Giants have the idea of going off 11. Jeremiah, a former scout who is as connected to the entire league as anyone, said during a video conference with the media on Wednesday that he is ‘not buying’ a conversation that Gettleman and the Giants will go down.
“I think we’ll see a right turn in a NASCAR race before we see Dave Gettleman swap back. So I don’t see that happening, ”said Jeremiah.
In March, Gettleman said the changes in scouting players required by the pandemic meant that there are valid arguments to act both up and down in the draft.
For this reason you can make the argument to trade back. There are guys in this version that when they apply pads in August it’s the first time in 20 months that they’ve applied pads so you have to think about that piece and some of those guys are very, very highly rated so there you have to think about it… So you can make that argument for it, you can make that argument to trade back, collect harvest for next year, ”said Jeremiah.
You can make the argument that you are stuck. You can make the argument that, knowing your best information will get to the top, you might trade in. So who knows? “
So if Jeremiah is right, Gettleman will get 0 for 9, and the Giants will just make what they think is the best possible choice at number 11.
