INSIDE the Giants Draft Room with Joe Schoen & Brian Daboll | Giants Life: The Process (Ep. 3)

all right Kansas City it's time to get the show started the 2023 NFL draft is now officially open the Giants have a first round pick they are at 25. what do they need more than anything else what area do they need to address going into day one of the drafts there's probably four or five players that you know we coveted that we thought that may be there as of our pick so you know around pick 16 I think was the Commander's pick that's kind of when we knew the draft would start and there were still you know quite a few players up there that you know we we liked and we're a little bit surprised that they were still there so we never really knew how the draft was going to unfold so we had multiple plans we had you know potential trade opportunities with other teams in place hey you want to move back to 25 and then get our three and get there four the Chargers it would be swapping but they want to wait until we're on the clock so it was really unknown but we needed to be prepared for every scenario that may present itself and I felt like we were and it actually turned out really well for us one minute remaining yeah I'll just stay online yeah that's probably a little bit Rich for us right now the Los Angeles Chargers select Baltimore the Baltimore Ravens select they flowers Minnesota is that 25 are you still interested are you gonna stay and pick crazy so they're not taking defense they're gonna take ass and I think they pulled out the Minnesota Vikings select Jordan Addison I'm just saying I'm worried about being or Kansas City the decision that goes into making a trade you know we have charts that we use and you look at the value you see if it makes sense are you gonna you know win lose is it even and then at the end of the day if you lose a little bit you know are you really winning because you're getting the player you want Patriots still interested you got my words defense you're good we're gonna go and pick now the opportunity to get players that you like you feel much better you know at the end of the day [Music] Tay New York Giants calling hold for one second say Hey Joe Shane here with the Giants how you doing we're gonna turn the card in you're gonna be a New York Giant [Applause] you excited let's do it what's up my man hey you excited oh my God we're the 24th pick in the 2023 NFL draft the New York Giants select Deontay Banks defensive back Maryland thank you Tay Banks was the right choice for us at 24 prototype size you know he's got speed he's got strength he's got physicality he can play press man he's a 4-3-6 guy that really fit what you know the defensive staff was looking for in a corner we took Tay Banks he was he was obviously super excited my back's still a little bit of sore from that bear hug he gave me foreign [Music] we came in on Friday take a deep breath see who's still on the board who we thought may be there you know is there anybody we would trade up for if they fall you know these you know five or six guys aren't there maybe we trade back duplicated a little bit what we did on Thursday before round one we had a plan in place going into to day two with you know the potential move in in different directions if we needed to based on the players available all right yeah we'll do it [Music] so let's go over this so I'm thinking like you come out you say hey what a time to be a New York Giants fan we got the coach of the Year Daniel Jones got paid and the Eagles lost in the Super Bowl what a Time don't know if I want to take that dig but then you just jump right into the pick after that that's that's kind of subtle but all the while keeping the organization under consideration it is it is the New York eyes I don't I'm not gonna embarrass us and welcome back to night two of three NFL NFL this the city of Kansas City is on fire man to host a draft it's been electric right the last 24 hours have been very exciting for the city it New York Giants all day and I'm super excited I'm humbled it's a big honor to be asked to announce a draft pick something to do what Troy Trojans do for each grade three hey stay there will you get one of me listen you can't hide them Demarcus I don't ever get to wear them so thank you we sell boys from doing this before it came out put the Hat on if I didn't get drafted so this this is really cool Beth Lawrence tynes may not have experienced The Glitz and glamor of being a top prospect but he still managed to carve out a lengthy career after going undrafted out of Troy in 2001. following a three-year stint with the Chiefs he was traded to the Giants in 2007 and had a knack for delivering on the post-season stage has done it again he's kicked the Giants to the second Super Bowl in four years when you kick two game winning field goals in overtime in the NFC Championship Game announcing a pick seems like a feasible task though much like on the playing field you still have to look the part I'm gonna bring Dave's out with me tonight rocking both Rings not the pockets oh yeah the little bell though a little bell let's get in there I think that's a nice touch I think John Mayer will appreciate that you know he's always rocking a logo predictions I'm going John Michael Smith's Center there's still some pretty good White House left out there Jalen hi it's on the board are they that's my guess one of those two I think we go Center or we go uh Jalen height Tennessee Chicago is now chicken hide they came in front of us or something and get one of them too so yeah yeah no I'm fine in the way the helpers want it was much faster yeah oh here we go drum roll in 2023 draft Chicago Bear select Tariq Steve Steve on the corner okay good job boys It's Gonna Roll with ice thank you scared money the New York Giants are now on

baby he's coming to New York best of luck to John Michael Smith's man he's going to have a health career [Music] [Music] like that yeah Jalen Hyatt's another guy that we had graded fairly high on our board and you know when we got into the third round you know he was sticking out a little bit like a sore thumbs you know I talked to Tim and Dennis and Brandon said hey let's start making some phone calls and see if you know if we could give up our fourth when does it come into play that we would just have to give up our fourth right right it's R2 and force so it's 89 and up for 89 and 128 score

unfortunately mckeithan got hurt and beavers got hurt but those were all guys in the McFadden played meaningful snaps so sometimes you can get starters out of the you know day three and then sometimes you get some really good depth players and contributors or special teams players so looking forward to those guys getting in and competing and you know whether it's depth rolls or starting players they're equally as important the New York Giants select Eric gray running back Oklahoma if it's a foot race for Eric gray Trey Hawkins DB from Old Dominion that's going nowhere Trey Hawkins the third

I love Dabs' pragmatic and succinct breakdown of the situation after the trade up in front of us. "Well, one guy's fast and the other can play Center".

[u/WestCoastBlue1]

This is a fun watch! Wink telling Banks he is thankful the Ravens signed Lamar so they had to draft weapons made me laugh.

[u/jimjDB]

There was a time the Giants had Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi as our Offense and Defense Coordinators, and fast forward 20+ years of suckola; what a mistake. I feel repayment coming.

[u/SunnyJim57]

I can't remember a draft where the top 3 picks combined so perfectly value with need.

whether that was luck or skill, or a little bit of both, who can say, but it is exciting to think we actually pulled off a trifecta of sorts

As for the Dabes convo, he's the reigning coach of the year, and you can see in these brief glimpses why - he loves the players and they will play for him. any coach who can get the best out of his players is worth their weight. last season showed us Dabes has that ability

now if we can just figure out a way to make Saquon happy we will be as locked and loaded for the new season as we can be

[u/fanfor70years]

I'm of the opinion that they came out of this draft getting the perfect cornerback for the scheme they want to run (and quite possibly the best of the corners altogether), the center whom they absolutely HAD to get (and a kid who from the sound of it is going to be the third anchor of a very good offensive line for a decade if he stays healthy), and the absolutely best receiver given the offensive scheme they will be running that revolves around a tight end who is truly the matchup nightmare that people once thought we had until that guy forgot how to catch the ball (Engram), a possession receiver (a revolving group that includes Hodgins, Shepard and others), a Swiss Army knife guy who manages to always get open (Robinson) and now a pair of deep receivers who can outrun almost every corner and safety in the league (Hyatt and Campbell).

On top of that they got a kid who I think looks like he could turn into a starting corner in the NFL and a running back who looks like he can be a workhorse and be pretty darned effective as a backup this season to Saquon and either remain as that or become the #1 back in 2024 if there's a divorce between Barkley and the team.

Of course you have to see all these kids play before making any final judgment in regard to the draft, but it sure looks like a great haul to me. It was great seeing this tape and discovering how it all came together.

[u/SurveillanceBalloon]

Wow. We got a guy we had as a 2nd round talent in the 3rd round.

That is something.

[u/I-miss-Killdrive]

There is no such thing as too much Schoen and Dabs. I could watch these guys bro it up all day.

One thing that is great to see is how much they both love the players, especially the rooks coming in. Big smiles and a bear hug from Papa Dabs. In contrast I picture Joe Judge offering a firm handshake and then, “Camp starts NOW! RUN ME A FUCKING LAP”

[u/jay-bones]

“I love it when I’m counted out,” Hyatt said. “My confidence comes from my hard work. I feel like I get open 24/7. I really believe I’m the best receiver in the draft.”

Feels like an appropriate amount of dawg swag.

[u/mfriedman33]

Obviously they will miss on picks but It’s hard not to have confidence in their process.
