Came across the following on another forum:
Tucker and Ed McCaffrey
Solder news first- Gmen had sights on Norwell and went as high as they could and it didn't workout. They had valued Norwell more than the price for LT Solder but once they lost out the went hard after Solder. Overpaid but a need and a good pick with some good years left.
Gmen paying for missing on E. Flowers and not grabbing Whitworth last year (for less than Solder this year). Manning will be happy with Solder as his LT.
Now Eli:
Ed Mc. thinks Barkley the pick at #2 but asking Stapleton. Stapleton only guarantee is that Manning is starter week 1 in 2018. They hope for Eli to get hot and go on a run. Checking on Mayfield yesterday and Rosen today. Thinks the Giants will listen to offers but all possibilities still open Barkley and QB's at 2. Still thinks a QB could come in and compete for Backup and look to trade Webb in off season of 2019. But, to me he sounds more like he just doesn't know what they will do.
** One point Stapleton made is when teams offer a lot of picks etc to try and move to your spot it also gives you pause to think just how valuable that pick is to you..
Oline again- asked about Flowers and if Gmen are done. Mentioned Searles (sp) of Minnesota as a signing to watch for. Says Billy Price in Rd 2 could be a target.
Says this is the Giants sending a message to Flowers. He is in the mix at RT and RG. See if he deserves to be a starter and or even on the team. Did not pick up 5th year option.
If Flowers doesn't step up he is not long to be on this team.
Shula talk- doesn't know if Shula will all plays, Shurmur will most likely continue to call plays. But Shula can take over if Shurmur is busy with overall team too much. Shula and Shurmur will basically be the QB coach as well. Says it means something that Shula is the guy at the QB pro days.
Past meetinsg with players (private) were for background purposes and this year may be more about selecting a guy.
That was the bulk of all that was talked about
