00:00I have nothing against Francis Malanoa, and he could turn out to be an all-time great pick.
00:05So if this is not about him, before I give you my reasoning for my disappointment for you,
00:10go ahead, Caleb Downs.
00:12He was there, he was ready, he was at 10, and I'm not going to make a big deal that
00:18he went to Dallas
00:18because it's not your problem.
00:20It could be.
00:22No, no, but what I mean by that is it's not your problem in terms of when you make a
00:25decision at 10,
00:26even if I disagree with it, you've got to make the decision you want to make.
00:29You can't make it because you're afraid of what Dallas is going to do or what a division rival is
00:34going to do.
00:34But I also think you can't defend what you didn't do.
00:37What do you mean by that?
00:38So they didn't draft Caleb Downs.
00:41Right.
00:41They had their reasons, but you can't defend that because you took a great player,
00:47a potentially great player, all these kids, all 32 that were taken yesterday,
00:51are potentially great players.
00:52None of them are guaranteed to be successful.
00:54Sure.
00:54But you take a potentially great player and Francis Malanoa,
00:58and he can slot in right away.
01:02He could be great for you.
01:03And I can't, I will never knock a team drafting an O-lineman.
01:07I just won't.
01:08I get you.
01:09It's just, especially the Giants.
01:11Especially, well, especially because it's the Giants.
01:13It's also been a problem for a while.
01:15It's been a problem for a while.
01:16And if you don't have good linemen, your team just sometimes doesn't have a chance.
01:22And so I can explain, I can defend what they did.
01:27I can't defend what they didn't do.
01:29I see what you're saying there.
01:31Hold on.
01:31Let me try to retort this, and we'll hear from Sean in a second.
01:34I get it.
01:35Like, that's why I made clear this isn't about Francis Malanoa.
01:38And if he turns out to be, and he's going to play guard for you guys,
01:41and if he turns out to be an all-time great guard, it's fantastic.
01:45I can't bitch about it.
01:46But it felt, for the duration of this process,
01:49like Caleb Downs had a chance to be insanely special.
01:52Had a chance to be that safety that you break the rules on,
01:56and you draft at five.
01:58And to me, when he was sitting there at ten,
02:00it was like, holy crap, he's there.
02:04So that's my only issue.
02:05It has nothing to do with Malanoa.
02:07I agree with you about the offensive line and how great it could turn out to be,
02:10and we'll find out, right?
02:11I mean, what is this kid going to be?
02:12What's any of them going to be?
02:14But it was just such an amazing opportunity,
02:18and it was sitting there right in front of you.
