This is the kind of deal that could pay ENORMOUS dividends. I don't think some recognize just how electric this kid is. Probably the best player in space in that entire draft class. And he can ****ing fly.
And if it doesn't work out - okay, you lost a 3rd. {shrug} We had a spare one. And an extra 4th. Those have value but not immeasurably so. Your best case scenario with most 3rd round picks is a flyer at a position of importance (like, y'know, Kadarius Toney) or a more reliable pick at a position of LESS importance.
Well right now we have most of the second tier positions locked down pretty well for the foreseeable future. So in all probability, we'd be gambling on boom/bust guys with that pick anyway. And very possibly a WR at that.
This is a GREAT gamble.

I think the talent is very much worth taking a risk on.
But man, his attitude... I think the fact that people assume he's faking his injuries to get out of playing is one of the biggest red flags a player can have. Especially since the Giants are good this year, Daniel Jones is playing decently and they desperately need WRs.
Wish we could have gotten him for a lower pick that would upgrade to a 3rd based on his playtime/stats/team accomplishments. But it is what it is, hopefully the talent we know he has is on full display working with Reid and Mahomes. It's 100% on him now. If he chooses to grow up, then he can be a top 5-10 WR with those two guys coaching and throwing to him.
