continues it's slow build until April 25th. And a strange thing happened on our way to record Thursday morning. The news broke that the Oakland A’s are bracing for Oklahoma quarterback — and ninth overall pick in the MLB draft — Kyler Murray to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft. That news could be ... significant. Pretty much everyone (ourselves included) expected Murray to make a career out of MLB. Personally Cheap Jon Halapio Jersey , Iexpected the NFL to tell Murray that he was too small to be a quarterback, that he should change position to slot receiver or be another Denard Robinson, and for him to ultimately pass on the NFL draft. That doesn’t appear to be the case. Adding to the intrigue is a video which surfaced of new Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury saying while at Texas Tech that if he had the first pick in the NFL draft, he would use it on Murray ... which he now does. So, with the Giants’ uncertainty at quarterback and the domino effect of adding another top prospect to the mix, we pretty much had to make this show about Murray and the (potential) impact of his decision. And make no mistake about it: The NFL is changing, and changing rapidly. Changed to the point where Murray isn’t just viewed around the league as a viable quarterback prospect, but given his athleticism and incredible efficiency, he could be in the mix for a top 10 pick. And that’s something to which Giants’ fans should probably be paying attention.In this podcast we discuss: Kyler Murray’s decision to enter the draft.Murray’s translation to an NFL quarterback.Whether or not the Giants could acquire Josh Rosen if the Cardinals draft Murray. How Murray’s decision impacts the Giants’ chances of drafting Dwayne Haskins.Note: Don’t forget to give Ed’s chat with Land Grant Holy Land about Haskins a listen. The young man is from Highland Park N.J., and grew up as big a Giants’ fan as anyone on this site.You can listen to this episode in your browser here http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-connor-barwin-jersey , with the embedded player below, or anywhere else you get your podcasts.Where to subscribeYou can find and subscribe to Big Blue View Radio on the show’s home page.

Jeremy Reisman of SB Nation’s Pride of Detroit provided us with practice reports [Day 1 | Day 2] this week. So, we turn to Jeremy for our weekly “5 questions” segment.Ed: First, thank you so much for the practice reports this week. They were a huge help. After watching the Giants for a few days what is your overall, perhaps “high-level” impression of this Giants team?Jeremy: While it’s hard to glean anything from two sets of practices with no live tackling and a walk-through Cheap Will Hernandez Jersey , I came away thinking more of this Giants team than I did after their Week 2 matchup last season. The defensive line looks fierce and is the clear strength of this roster. I feel like that should carry what should be a pretty average offense with the potential of being slightly above average.My reasoning for thinking the Giants will just be average on offense is because outside of Odell Beckham Jr. (who, admittedly, looks as good as ever), I didn’t see any standout skill players. Obviously, Saquon Barkley didn’t give it a go during practice and he can be a game-changer, but we’ll see. Also, any time Ereck Flowers is in your starting lineup, there should be significant anxiety for your quarterback’s health. Ed: Personally, I’m really interested in Tyrell Crosby. He is a player I had targeted as a tackle prospect I thought would help the Giants. The Lions drafted him. How has he done thus far?Jeremy: Crosby is already considered the Lions’ third best offensive tackle on the team, which is both a testament to his talent and the Lions’ lack of depth at the position. He’s been pretty impressive in training camp Cheap Eli Manning Jersey , but he had a rocky preseason debut. Part of the reason for that disconnect is likely the talent he’s going up against. The Raiders defensive line depth is much better than the Lions’. Still, Detroit feels they got a steal in Crosby, nabbing him in the fifth round, and although he isn’t expected to start this year, many believe he is a long-term contender for Detroit’s starting right tackle position. Evan EngramVincent Carchietta-USA TODAY SportsEd: If you could take one offensive and one defensive player off the Giants roster and put him in Detroit’s lineup, who would they be? Why?Jeremy: On offense, I would probably take Evan Engram. The Lions’ tight end corps is looking for some answers after giving up on Eric Ebron last year, and the trio of Michael Roberts, Luke Willson and Levine Toilolo hasn’t given much reason for optimism. I like Engram’s athleticism and I think the young tight end could build on an impressive rookie year this season. Defensively, please give me Damon Harrison. Seriously http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-riley-dixon-jersey , I’ll do anything. Okay, not that. Get your mind out of the gutter, Ed. Snacks is the kind of player you have to game plan around, and the Lions defensive line just doesn’t have a guy like that, unless Ezekiel Ansah suddenly proves he can stay healthy for more than a week at a time. Detroit has already showed some issues defending the run this preseason, and Harrison would put a quick end to that problem. Ed: Give us some under-the-radar players Giants fans might not know much about, but are likely to notice on Friday night?Jeremy: Wide receiver Teo Redding has been your prototypical camp darling through the first couple weeks. He underwhelmed in the preseason opener, but 6-foot-1 receiver has the athleticism to go up and snag the ball away from shorter cornerbacks. Additionally, tight end Hakeem Valles had an excellent string of practices against the Giants this week and could make a huge impact during the second half of Friday’s game. Raj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsEd: There are many fans who wanted Matt Patricia to be the Giants head coach. What are your impressions of Patricia thus far?Jeremy: When the sexual assault allegations from 20 years ago were unearthed, it understandably fractured the fanbase. Off-field stuff aside Cheap Sterling Shepard Jersey , I like the idea of Matt Patricia. In a lot of ways, he’s the opposite of Jim Caldwell. Instead of the conservative old-school thinker, Patricia is a guy who is always adapting, always adjusting his schemes and is just a really smart dude. Though his press conferences are always extremely short on useful news, they’re typically entertaining to listen to, because you can tell just how much this guy knows about the game. I’m not that concerned about the poor track record of New England Patriots assistants-turned-head coaches, seeing as he already has a built-in rapport with general manager Bob Quinn (they worked aside each other for over a decade in New England). That being said, Patricia has quite the task ahead of him, and I’m reserving full judgment until I see some actual results.
