think soJulian LoveTrevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsThe New York Giants have
been panned for selecting Daniel Jones No. 6 overall by many analysts who feel
they could have gotten him with their second first-round pick, No. 17 overall.
One thing the Giants appear to have done right in the 2019 NFL Draft, though,
was to select cornerback Julian Love in Round 4, 108th overall.Gettleman has
said he was “pacing the floor” as the Giants’ pick at No. 108 approached, hoping
Love would still be on the board. “We were shocked he was there. We were
thrilled, obviously. He was sticking out on our board like a sore thumb,”
Gettleman said. “He’s a complete defensive back. He’s got all the movement. He’s
got the ability to carry the vertical and he plays the nickel. And he tackles —
there’s a crazy concept

Gettleman’s best move.Pro Football Focus says:NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein says:The
Draft Network says:Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports says: Love showed his
versatility during rookie mini-camp by lining up outside at cornerback, at slot
cornerback, and at free safety.“Love is a really, really good football player,”
coach Pat Shurmur said when the giants selected him. “He can play in the slot.
He can play high. He’s kind of got that tweener kind of corner safety ability,
which makes him a unique player for us.”It appears that the draft community
agrees. The NFC East is getting interesting again.In the blue corner, Giants

Carl Banks Jerseys Stitched , defending the decision to use the sixth overall pick on quarterback Daniel Jones, said over the weekend that he knows “for a fact” that
two other teams would have drafted Jones before the Giants were on the clock
again at No. 17. Someone (the Giants) then leaked that those two teams were
Denver and Washington.Allen, appearing on NFL Network, responded to the notion
that Gettleman had actual knowledge of Washington’s draft preferences.“We picked
the player we wanted to pick,” Allen said, via NFL.com. “I’m almost positive
Dave has no clue what our draft board would be. I don’t know which draft boards
he knows, but he doesn’t know ours.”Gettleman doesn’t know any, absent
espionage. That’s the biggest flaw in his gratuitous “for a fact” claim. No G.M.
knows another team’s draft board unless there has been spying.So why does
Gettleman insist that two teams between No. 6 and No. 17 would have taken Jones?
That’s better than the truth, which is that the Giants feared being leapfrogged
at No. 17 by a team smart enough to realize that the Giants were in the Daniel
Jones business

floating the Daniel Jones trial balloon, the Giants backed themselves into a
corner. That’s the truth, but Gettleman can’t or won’t admit it.Regardless, if
Daniel Jones becomes a franchise quarterback, it won’t matter whether he was
pick No. 6 or No. 17. Conversely, if Jones doesn’t become a franchise
quarterback, it won’t matter whether he was pick No. 17 or No. 6.The best news
is that New York and Washington will continue to play each other twice per year
every year, with Daniel Jones and Dwayne Haskins going head-to-head and their
progress (or otherwise) being compared on an apples-to-apples basis.
