Zeitler is better at G than Vernon is at DE imo, but DE is a more impactful position. If there are no picks involved I like this deal. I do not agree with this. I was hoping for a better DE and possibly a younger DE but Kevin Zeitler had his struggles and I have brought them up before. I think they are very equivalent in talent per their respective position. 19.5 mil for Olivier though its a concern. I have a feeling he is a one year rental.

Spotrac.....since he was on their roster after the 5th day of 2018 season, his guarantees are fully guaranteed to the Giants. Edited as I was trying to read fast. I apologize. If you subtract the guaranteed money from his per year salary as they're intertwined.....$11 mil this year, and $15 mil next.....0 dead cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Vernon is a lot better than Ogbah, but Dorsey didn't want to be up under that large contract for Zeitler which is fine. Watching Giants games last year, I can say for certain, he always showed up and flashed while watching the defense. Plus I heard we swapped picks in the 4th and went from 155 to 132, it'll do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't think this precludes us from drafting a DE early. Vernon has had some injury concerns and likely isn't a long-term option. He's just good enough that we could possibly wait until a later round to draft a more developmental type of DE (like when Dorsey drafted a raw prospect in Dee Ford).

Given the age, contract, depth at DE, this does nothing to deter moves there IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds similar to what he did in cutting Nassib since he drafted Chad Thomas. Difference is, I have a lot more faith in Corbett than I ever did in Chad Thomas. I have no idea what went on with Chad Thomas as a rookie and getting no playing time but I do know his college tape was great. I had never watched him at the time of the pick and was thinking about complaining but then I remembered the time everyone blew up about T.J. Ward bc they didn't know his tape. I didn't want to be that idiot so I watched Chad Thomas and I was extremely impressed. He's a very powerful dude and turns the corner pretty well for his size. I would take him over his ex teammate Joe Jackson in this draft in a heartbeat and that dude is getting R2 love. You know another mid round DE who only took 4 snaps as a rookie? Trey Flowers. I think Chad Thomas could very well do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly the one draft pick that I disliked last year (I was pretty "meh" on the Corbett selection). However, Dorsey has made far more good moves than bad ones so far, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in that he sees something in Thomas.

He’s a pretty decent starter and reasonably capable pass rusher who’s gonna get the benefit of playing opposite Garrett. He’s a good player, overpaid. Luckily the Giants are eating a lot of that salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if we’re eating a chunk of that as an offset or if we’re just coming out breaking even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie man Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 If Corbett is really good we have to look at Is the 33rd pick and our 5gh worth Vernon and a 4th? that's really what is boils down to I'd say so I like Vernon back in a 43 but man it pisses me off on the Chad Thomas pick now. Like I said when we picked him and Corbett I just dont get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
