Giants trading Eli Apple to saints

6’1.

4.4

We haven’t ever had two cornerbacks with this combination of size and speed before. I really wanted Patrick Peterson like everybody else, but this is a huge upgrade. We can relegate P.J. Williams to the slot only and really start a path to the Super Bowl.

I have mixed feelings about trading draft picks away because Jeff Ireland can give us good players in the draft and our free agency moves have been hit and miss in the off season.

Yeah. More and more our 2019 is looking like it is going to be a bit of a concern and quite boring. We might only have 1-3 picks in the entire draft. Better hope it's a bad crop of players next year.

What if Ireland advised this acquisition?

I believe this is a future is now situation. If we can use a better player to improve the coverage, limit the busts, and make QBs hold the ball a second or two longer, then the defense can get better now, not a year or two from now.

I’m happy we made the move and trust staff that he’s the right fit. Besides I’m sure Payton and Co did their research during his draft process anyway.

PFF has him rated as the 55th best CB, Crawley is at 105th for comparison.

Maybe that 75 yard drive by Flacco in less than 60 seconds & subsequent TD was the last straw for Sean ?
