It's really not that tough to argue if you have been paying attention. Which team has drafted more all pros and pro bowlers than us in the last decade? https://nypost.com/2018/04/21/giants-jets-cant-crack-top-10-most-successful-teams-at-draft/ And that article came out before Vander Esch did his thing last year.

matt79511 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Maliek and Brown were also good picks in ‘16. 5 decent-to-great starters in the same draft is pretty nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Since Will McClay came aboard in 2009 our first round picks have gone like this: 2010: Dez Bryant (1st team all pro) 2011: Tyron Smith (2x 1st team all pro) 2012: Morris Claiborne 2013: Travis Frederick (1st team all pro) 2014: Zack Martin (3x 1st team all pro) 2015: Byron Jones (2nd team all pro) 2016: Zeke Elliott (1st team all pro) 2017: Taco Charlton 2018: Leighton Vander Esch (2nd team all pro) 2019: Amari Cooper trade Some guys like Zeke and Martin have a few 2nd team all pro years as well. So of the last 9 first round picks only Taco and Claiborne didn’t make an all pro team. Can any other team come close to that production from the first round? Thats not counting the guys we drafted after round 1 during that time: 2010 round 2: Sean Lee (1st team all pro) 2011 round 3: DeMarco Murray (1st team all pro) 2012 round 3: Tyrone Crawford 2013: Nothing really after Frederick 2014 round 2: DeMarcus Lawrence (2nd team all pro) and Anthony Hitchens in round 4 2015 round 2: Randy Gregory 2016: Jaylon Smith round 2, Maliek Collins round 3, Dak Prescott round 4, Anthony Brown round 6 2017: Chidobe Awuzie Round 2, Jourdan Lewis round 3, Ryan Switzer round 4, Xavier Woods round 6 2018: Conner Williams round 2, Michael Gallup round 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Idk how much credit goes to Garrett, but we have definitely been the best drafting team of this decade. Which is nice because we haven’t touched a solid free agent in years, and our coaching isn’t that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) It's hard for me to credit or blame JG for GM/draft related items. I don't really know what goes on behind the scenes. But I never liked JG and I never will. Edited July 31, 2019 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Taco Charlton certainly seems to be an outlier for you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
