New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman isn’t labeled “old school” for nothing. He sticks to his guns and his board at the NFL Draft and takes the player he likes the best in front of him.
In his career as a GM, in Carolina and here with the Giants, Gettleman has never traded back to collect more picks. He just doesn’t do it. That’s no who he is. He likes to grab the best players he can where he can and move on. It’s a philosophy that’s hurt him several times in the past and could hurt him again this year in what is being called a “flat draft”, meaning there are many players at the same talent level.
