lets wait and see how claiborne performs before you label this a bad move.


we could accuse the giants of being stupid for giving up all those picks for eli when rivers is just as good

inb4 2 superbowl wins

lets be clear on this point.


if you watched the game you'll know the giants defensive line carried the team in both those seasons. i'm not saying eli is terrible like most the trolls in here do, in fact he's a top 10 qb. still though its awful easy to look good when you get the support he gets from his defense

Weve tried to make gaints fans believe this for years, especially the underlined part, but its no use

What a great defense he had last year when we ranked 25th. Combined with one of the worst O-line's and DEAD last run game.

Keep up the excuses.

Morris Claiborne was addressing a need and incase you only follow Football after the first preseason game. The CB was a highly saught after position this off-season. Finally cut ties with old Newman. He had his great days with the boys but those days have come and gone. So im curious since you know it all. What would you have picked for the Cowboys in the draft below. These future Greats!

Talking as if Claiborne wasn't the 5th best player in the draft.

If you want to talk fail, talk about the Buccs. Traded down thinking they could get Claiborne at 7 only to be leapfrogged by the Cowboys and reaching for Barrron.

THANK YOU~!
Seems like everyone knows Claiborne wasn't going to make it outside of 10 but this guy. lol

Not a reach for Barron at all imo, he's a clean player. Future pro bowl prospect.

Claiborne was the best defensive prospect.
He already is better then prince without stepping onto a NFL field.

Xnozx just needs something to talk about
